I'm definitely going to get a Gentle Leader for Tink, she is an absolute NIGHTMARE to walk. And I definitely agree with Simmons99, I had to stop using her harness because it gave her way more pulling power - she can pull me clear down the road on it and she's only 50lbs! Awful and all as it sounds, the only way to walk her at the moment is to attach the lead to her collar so that she'll garrotte herself if she pulls too hard!

Well, I came home from work on Thursday and Emmet had bought a semi-choke collar for Tink. he took her out on it that evening and he said the change in her was just unreal. I went out with them on Friday and she has stopped pulling almost completely.
I was always very anti-choke in the past, but I have to say, I'm sorry now that we didn't get it sooner. I like the fact that the collar is made from smooth, round nylon rather than chain, so even if she does pull, it just tightens smoothly without pinching her skin.
