[NAGDU] Gentle leader

[Gretchen Brown]

I guess I'm confused. So you say to attach the gentle leader to the  leash.
But how do you connect the gl to the movable ring on the collar? Because
the o ring of the gentle leader is under the chin, how can you still have
the collar in proper position if the collar movable ring is behind the
dog's ears. Is there another strap you use? There is no way I could get the
o ring under the chin and attach that to the leash along with the o ring on
the collar and keep the o ring of the collar between her shoulders because
the strap that comes from the chin doesn't extend far enough Unless perhaps
you are using one leash clip for the gl and the other for the collar that
way the leash is still short?
