LabLover... I got LuLu a collar/leash at Petsmart and it was the best thing I ever bought for her. She is a very hyper dog and when I would take her on the leash with her regular collar, all she would do was pull so hard that she would cough and cough and nearly sound like she was gagging. So I really never took her anywhere because it really was a pain in the behind. I finally looked into "doing something about it" and I searched at Petsmart for this special collar that I had heard such great things about. It's almost like a muzzle but not really. There is a piece of the collar that loops over her snout and sits right on top of the bridge of her nose and attaches under her chin and then there is another piece that clips together to be tight around the back part of her head and sits on the base of her skull. That is the best way I can describe how this collar works and hopefully from my description you can vision it. The collar was $25.00 and I you can use any normal leash with it. I tell you it was the best thing I ever bought for her. She is extremely calm on this and remember that Springers are very hyper and active and jumpy, this collar is designed for the owner to pull on it and in doing so it pulls her nose/ face in your direction causing her to learn NOT to pull but to walk beside you, which she DOES do and of course this makes me very happy. Check out this collar if you are looking to do some great training with your dog, I did and I'm so glad I did. Now I can take her into Petsmart and walk around with her and she walks right next to me and behaves like a nice little girl. Whew....

Anyone else use this collar, sorry I don't know the exact name for it!!! Let me and LadLover know how you made out with it.
