I know when I used it or even when I didn't, Fisher was better about not
scavenging, especially with the leash in my right hand. Every time he began
to dive bomb a crumb, I yanked him with the leash. As for the GL, it does
slow down pulling dogs. I suspect the haltie  does this, too.

Hi Dar.
What do you mean by "she doesn't like anything on her nose"?
Most dogs kick up a fuss about the Gentle Leader, but, when they see it's
not coming off, they give up.  On the other hand, my Ben didn't fuss about
it, but would walk like a snail when he had it on, so I gave up.
Did Pilot issue you a GL?  Could you put it on her and leave it on for a
bit, at home, where she couldn't cause you too much grief? Maybe put it on,
and have her do obedience, or walk around with you, in or near your home.  
Krokus is an awful scavenger, but the GL does tone it down to a manageable
level.  It also calms him down when he feels like bounding along.  If you
can convince Penny to wear it, it sounds like it would help.

I want to start by saying I am a heart patient, where after a good struggle
I get quite tired.
I have my girl wearing the artin gale collar.
She doesn't like anything on her nose at all. Doesn't matter what it is.
She is a bit strong for me and I have to listen to my body.
Her nose lives on the ground or in a building of choice we are in at the
time.
Making her sit, she realizes she lies down then she can sniff floor and pick
up what is down there.
It can become quite frustrating.
Then there are days when she won't give me grief over it at all.
I don't want to keep buying stuff if I have to keep fighting her.
just thought I would send out a message and get some tips.
She wil also decide to pull hard like a truck, and your arm is wishing she
would stop.
Other days she will walk nicely.
Thanks for reading.
