[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 560565, member: 84"] I can't see even managing to get something over her nose and behind her ears. lol I think I've seen one then..............neighbor lady walked her great dane with it for about 2 yrs. Got to say, he never did pull, doesn't now either and he no longer is using it. Maybe I'll give it a try, although Travis will have to help me put it on her. I'm training, she's just not getting the idea. When she pulls I do try to stop. Then it turns into tug o war. Only time stopping doesn't trigger that is when we stop for streets. I give the "wait" command and she can't go until I give the "go" command. (which she does very well) Backing up would definitely trigger tug o war. And once she starts that it's really hard to get her to stop. It's worse than the pulling issue, although it only happens once in a while unless she has a lot of energy to burn off. Excess energy may be some of the pulling issue too. We're trying (now that she's too big to escape via the gate) to give her more run in the yard time, especially if it's a day when I've watched the boys because she spends a great deal of time gated to the kitchen. Connor just can't get over his sensory issues with her. When he goes for his nap she has free run again, but that is after 6 hrs in the kitchen. And winter is coming. ugh This is also why we try not to skip a walk with her and why we walk so far at a very fast pace. She does up to 3 miles per day. I think I'll start walking her with pockets loaded down with liver snacks. lol [/QUOTE]
