I use a harness for my little dog,
because she pulls.
I use a thick Greyhound collar for my
female Akita and a choke collar
for my male.
I never leave either one of these collars on my dogs when they are not being walked.

Just a thought, but wouldn't you put a harness on your dog if you want it to pull? That's what they do with sled dogs.
