[nagdu] gentle leader

[Raven Tolliver]

Hi,
I use the halty on my golden retriever whenever I anticipate high
levels of distraction or goofy behavior. If we're visiting the Vet, a
pet store, or anything like that I will put the halty on before we get
out of the car, off the bus, or within the vicinity of the
establishment. When I put it on my golden, he just sulks, but he knows
I mean business, so he doesn't try anything -- no sniffing, no
pulling, and no surging.
I use the martingale collar on him at all times, so I don't have to
worry about him pulling hard and hurting himself on a choke chain. But
it is nice to have complete control of his head and know exactly what
he's doing.
