Have a very active Parson Russell Terrier who wants to be pack leader all the time, especially on walks, she likes to be in front mostly pulling me along showing she is pack leader, Well this went on for awhile until i found the Gentle Leader collar, non evasive and controls her head, when she would pull all i did was pull her head around and where her head went her body followed. Used this for over a year then graduated her to a halter, now she is on a regular collar and does not pull, she did not like the Gentle Leader, it goes over the nose and not around the neck and does not hurt her at all. Hopefully this also helps on this Blog, they have them for all sizes from wee to ex-large. Of course Caesar's way is always the best, i am in awe when watching him, even tearful as have never seen this before, especially liked the show with the Horse Whisperer, two great humans that understand animals/dog,horse and other!!!;

Dear everyone!
I have no idéa if this is an old question but I will share my experience anyway.
As we live in the woods I strive for letting the dogs walk without leash and keep close to me.
My female Irish Wolfhound was a real runner. As she grew she got faster and more secure without me.
Every time she saw a deer she took off. She would never hurt any other animal, she just loved to run with them. And she could go far!
This was ofcorse not accepable and I got an e-collar.
After reading the instructions over and over it was time to try it out.
I put a regular collar and leash on her too and started our walk. The remote was on the lowest level. By her first pull on the leash I hit the button while I firmly said: Stop. No reaction. I inceased the level to 2 and by the next pull I said Stop and pushed the button again. She stopped and stood still for a while wondering where that strange feeling came from. Maybe 30 seconds later we were on our way again, walking calmly.
Note: She already knew the commands Stop and Stay but when her deer friend came along she ignored all words.
Once more I increased the remote to level 3 and as soon she tried pulling the leash I hit the button with the word Stop. This time she put on the brakes, swung around and jumped behind me. She was surely surprised!
I let her calm down and the walk continued.
This was repeated maybe five or six times during an hour with longer and longer intervalls and continued for the next few days until I knew she got it.
The collar is also equipped with a tone. I started to use this with Stop and if she didn´t stop she got "zapped". Very quickly she connected it all and was ready for the same training off leash.
That went like a charm! We had a few set backs where she got zapped but once per walk was enough. When zapped she immediately turned around and ran back to me. It goes without saying that I praised her every time she obeyed. Zapped or not.
Eventually I used only the sound button. Always with my spoken command. And she did great!
The real test came when she smelled the deer deep in the woods. That was too interesting a chance to pass. But I was ready: Command+tone, nothing. Command+Zapp, immediate halt and turn back to me. This happened a few times before she learned her lesson.
Finally she wore the e-collar not even switched on. The whole training process took about a month. It would have been faster but her deerfriend was not around every day ;)
Fact: The probes on the e-collar are quite short. If you need to train a dog with long and thick coat you will have to trim the throat real short to enable the probes to touch the skin.
Please note: Be very careful when using the electric collar! Read all the instructions. Use only after basic traing is done. Know your dog. Always make first atempt on leash, the dog can panic. Never, ever use as punishment! This is a training tool and can not in any way be compared to Cesar´s way.
Good luck!
