[NAGDU] Gentle Leader

[d m gina]

Tracy
Miss vacuum lovs to pick anything up she can get before it gets her.
I sure understand why you keep the leader on tight.
They sure are getting expensive out here at pet smart.
I have red ones black ones and I think another color but can't remember 
what it is.
I almost have one in every coat I have.
Then I know I don't have to keep looking all of the time.
I sure feel better when I know others on the list are using the same 
thing I am.
So far the public is ok with the leaders.
At least here in Montana.

> Hello, All:

> I have a question about gentle leaders.  This last weekend, at our NFB state
> convention, I used my gentle leader with Demi while we were in the hotel
> because I knew that she would be very excited about all the guide dogs.  She
> kept trying to rub the thing off, which is not unusual, but then when I
> decided that she was calm enough and took it off of her, she still kept
> trying to rub her face on me for awhile.  She did the same thing the next
> time we used the GL, acting as if her muzzle was itching or sore because of
> the GL.

> I got my GL from The Seeing Eye.  It is actually my second because I lost
> the first one they gave me and had to replace it.
> The first GL had padding around the muzzle, but this one does not; when I
> asked about this, I was told that they don't make this particular brand with
> padding anymore because the padding seemed to be irritating the dogs.  Demi
> definitely seems more bothered by this GL than she did with the last one,
> however.  I know that the problem isn't the tightness because I have tried
> loosening it with the same result, and it wasn't ridiculously tight to begin
> with.

> Does anyone have suggestions on other gentle leaders which might work
> better? I don't think I want to use this one anymore.

> Thank you, and all best!
