We use the gentle leader split leash with a golden and doodle (larger dogs) but they were well trained on split leash walks already. The doodle hates the gentle leader and wants to pull it off but if we keep him on task during the walk he forgets about it after a couple of blocks. Our dogs just walk and don't stop to sniff or pee...they don't go to socialize but rather to exercise. Maybe that's why the gentle leader works as it doesn't give them time to mess with it.

I have a medium for my 37 pound Brittany. There is room to adjust the lead for larger or smaller. I think the medium would give you good overlap of the lead (ie, you won't have to use it at the far end of it's length). PS - I have 2 boxers also & use Gentle Leaders with them. It IS THE BEST for dogs who want to constantly pull.

I guess it would depend on how well your dog walks on a leash. If you have a LARGE dog that make massive plops and walks well I would say it is mandatory to bring the scooper. I walk my 4 Dachshunds all at that the same time. They are a handful, and walks are just for walking. They never go in route as we take care of business before or after the walk in my yard.

I bought this product and use it for TWO 70lb hound pullers. HOWEVER, I use the gentle leader while riding with them. I first tried using it with them in the harness, but got pulled down when one saw a squirrel. He head-halter gives them less strength to pull.This is a great product, and I use it for both single-dog biking, and the double hookup for two! Give it a try!

I walked my 20 pound malti-poo with my cattle dog mix (70 pounds) and it was doable but the bigger dog pretty much dragged the little one everywhere. It really depends on how good of a walker the big one is - which mine isn't the greatest. Hope this helps a little bit.

We have been using the Gentle Leader for about 4-months and I think it depends on the dog. We have enrolled our dog in obedience school classes and are teaching him to walk on leash correctly. My wife prefers to use the gentle leader, I do not because he did not like the Gentle Leader initially and I could handle him. I'm not so sure our dog cares which one we use.

Yes I would.... I have a 11 lb shihtzu & a 7lb Maltese and I use these leads on them. You just need to properly put it at the highest part of there neck for it to work correctly but it has been great for all my dogs. I even have a larger slip leash I bought for my 80 lb german shepherd.

I recommend something with a chain- not completely chain, so they can hear the sound of it pulling closed. Also the harnesses that pull their noses down seem to work for big dogs that already pull. Another bit of advice, don't let them pull you. If the dog is hell bent on going one direction change course with a firm NO. When they quit pulling then they are allowed to make decisions on where the walk will go.

Not really. I would suggest a product called Gentle Leader. The CM collar works well to keep the dogs nose up so he doesn't constantly sniff the ground this let him lead you. The important thing for dogs that bolt is keeping calm and do a quick tug on the leash every time he pulls on the leash in the least degree. Trying to correct when he bolts isn't enough to train. It is an reaction to bad behavior so constant consistent correction works best. I use the method as follows: when he pulse or puts pressure on the leash I give the command "back" immediately followed by a short but strong tug on the leash. After a few days all you will need is the command. No tug if he responds. Relate the tug with the command. Hope this helps. It has worked well with my Weimeraners.

I walk my 75 pound Golden Doodle and 40 lb doodle on it. I love the handle for when they pull. Though I use it just the odd time around traffic as they are of leash most of the time. If they are on the leash all the time I would look for something stronger

I have a very muscular Aussie, not normal for the breed. This Horgan Harness makes walking him so much easier for me. He can't pull me where he wants to go and if he tries to pull too hard one or the other of his back legs will go up into the air and then he loses the power in his back legs. I love it. I had tried a gentle leader, prong collar, another harness that the hook was mid-chest under his head; none of them worked as well as this Horgan Harness.

For a big dog that pulls, I really like the Gentle Leader, but for general purposes, the martingale is my pick. I used the Gentle Leader to teach my GSD to heel but he always has on the martingale (shown).

I think you need a small gentle leader for your dog. My German shepherd is 75lbs and I have a large Gentle Leader for her.

We have two rough dogs. I put the unit on the milder dog but it broke off quickly. I tried gluing it back but it broke again. Not using it right now.

My Labradoodle was about the same weight and age when I started using the gentle leader. It helped me walk her a lot better, in fact, I still use it today and she's now 8yrs old and at 107lbs. She's normally calm, sweet, and very loving BUT also a very strong dog. She can probably yank my arm out of its sockets if she tries to run after a squirrel. The gentle leader helped me then and still helps now. Your dog will always kind of resist when you put it on, but they do get used to it. Make sure you follow the directions for the fit.

My dog ​​is the Dogs . While walking my dog always pulls . Collars are as a matter of do not think so. However, it is free when it is not my dog ​​for a walk.

It gives you more control over the dog so he pulls less when on the leash. I don't know if that will stop aggression. Check with a vet or trainer
