If Mylo is pulling hard enough to cause that kind of reaction, he should definitely be walked with a harness or gentle leader. Persistent trauma to the neck can cause permanent damage to the trachea and the associated bony structures of the neck. From a behavioral standpoint, Mylo may respond better to a harness or gentle leader as well, as many dogs simply follow the commands of their owners better under these conditions. Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Personally I love the gentle leader muzzle harnesses. It provides owners great control of their dogs. It does take a while to get the dog used to it and they still want to rub their faces on people to get them off. They do that in the exam room with me. I would gradually increase the time you have it on in the house before going on walks and give him treats or peanut butter while he has it on. That way he associates it with good things. I do think so people think it is a muzzle but more and more people know what they are. Personally if it makes your life easier I wouldn't care what some people think. I think people think more highly of the gentle leader than the prong collar. As for walking on a loose leash, it may help with that but it really depends on the dog. Some will take advantage when they know the leash is loose. The best thing to not have a dog pull is to train them to "heel," which is easier to do with the Gentle leader. I hope this he

I would recommend a gentle leader and see if this works. I've used this on multiple dogs with behavioral problems such as what you are describing with great success! I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

For larger dogs, I like using the Ezy Dog leash. This reduces the shock on the body if the dog pulls suddenly. You can also look into gentle leaders to help control Olivia when walking her. I hope these recommendations help! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

This can be very frustrating for everyone! Both the Gentle Leader easy walk harness and Gentle Leader collar (basically a head harness) can be wonderful tools to stop pulling. Also consider teaching Jenny a "look" command so that she learns to focus her attention on you.
