Does this stop a pulling dog?

Yes. My dog used to take me for walks, LOL. At first he would still try to walk me but after switching to this collar it has stopped his pulling considerably. The thing I love most about this collar is that it does not tighten to a full choke like a choker collar does. It tightens enough to stop my dog from pulling but does not choke him. I have a 70+ pound American Pit Bull Terrier and there is no way he is going to slip out of this collar which was my main reason for purchasing this collar. Hope this helps!

I don't feel like it does. If you are very firm with it on your dog then maybe it would help.

No, it doesn't. You'll need something like a gentle lead or no pull harness or learn training techniques on how to train your dog from pulling.

Kay i think it will stop because the collar do the signal when my dog is howling. I put it in myself and bark and I received the signal.

Yes I believe it would, the main thing is to ensure that his collar is on snug around his neck or using a harness. My dog is 90lbs and while he pulled hard when he was a puppy up until he was about 3, at 10 years old he still pulls but no where near as much as he used to.

It didn't stop my beagle or basset hound from barking or howling. The collar that sprays citronella towards them did help a lot. I think it's the same manufacturer.

I have a boxer/pit/beagle mix. this works because you can adjust it and there's NO pulling. but practice in an enclosed area first to be sure you have it properly adjusted. if not, it can be shaken off. it's still attached to the collar, but your control will be gone and if you have a hard puller, it can be a sudden yank.

I use it for a 16 month old Great Dane who weighs 105 lbs, does this help you?It only stops her from barking, I use a prong collar when we are out walking

This didn't work for my 50# shepherd puppy. If your dog pulls a lot, I would try something else.

I would assume so. We have a dane mix who is quite strong and we are not as physically able as once we were. Walking him was difficult for us. With this harness he cannot pull. Anyone can walk him without issue. He is not bothered at all by it. He reacts just like when we get the leash, excited. It is a great tool.

It works great. My dog is 90lbs and likes to pull and this keeps him in check. It's nice because you can slip it right over their heads and they cant get out of it.

I never understood the non-pulling either. But I do know this harness doesn't choke my dog. I can even pick him up with it, as he only weights 7 pds. It is a good comfortable harness. I really liked mine.

We've had 2 labs. I'm not sure this would break them of pulling but it certainly wouldn't hurt.

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

I have labs that pull also. This collar prevents the dog from backing out of it and getting loose. Mine still pulled with this collar. My vet recommended the easy walk harness and it works like a charm. It makes it difficult for them to pull because the strap crosses over their front legs. Amazon has the best prices!!

Yes, It will work for both size dogs and it really helps to keep them from pulling.

This is a "training aid" as advertised. I used it to get my dog to stop pulling on the leash. When he started to pull, I pressed the button. Apparently, the noise (which I couldn't hear) distracted him. I called him to me and gave a treat. Soon, he associated the noise with a treat. I gradually reduced the frequency of the treats and he just responded to the sound and my command, "Stop pulling." Then, I stopped using the device and he responded to the command only. You really have to work with the dog. There is no magic device or solution to pulling, barking or running off. I tried "Bark Genie" because my dog barked constantly while in the yard. That didn't work at all. At least this device is effective is used correctly along with training.

I actually had to go get a prong collar...I needed to correct my dog and not choke her. This collar allowed my dog to pull, actually almost stand up on her hind legs while pulling against the leash...it would begin to choke her.

It depends of the reason that you are using the Gentle Leader. If it is to keep your dog from picking things off the ground then I don't feel that the no-pull harness will work. However, if it is just to keep your dog from pulling then this harness is a good alternative.Our 9month old Samoyed is very, very, hyper and this harness works well. She still pulls but we can control her using this harness. It also looks good, easy to put on, and she does not seem to mind having it on.
