Well, based on all of your many recommendations, after class last night, I intended to buy a prong collar for Dakota because it's almost impossible for me to control him on a walk anymore. One of the trainers told me that prong collars are absolutely NOT allowed in class. Instead she steered me to the gentle leader. Haven't tried it yet, but I'll keep you posted!

We take classes at PetsMart also and they forbid the prong collar because they don't like that method for controlling dogs. The GOOD NEWS is, we gave the Gentle Leader a test run at lunch and--SUCCESS! This is the first time Dakota walked quietly (everyting is relative!) by my side!! If this is the reaction I get after 10 minutes, I'm sold!! (PetsMart does allow the Gentle Leader in training classes.)

I'll put up with the muzzle look. I took Dakota for a long walk yesterday with the gentle leader and it was perfect!! I couldn't believe it! It was such a pleasure!
