[nagdu] question about chest pad

[Rhonda Cruz]

Hi i'm able to comcral my dog. she is a small german sheppard.  i'm as
strong as my dog is.
 we work good together.  i had to get used to her pull when i first
got her home. we have a nice pull now.
 the dog matched my pace of walking. . the chest pad is a tool that
works for my dog. it doesn't even hurt her not even 4 a bit.
