I've found that even my own vet doesn't "like to see the dogs brought in with pinch collars", as well as several classes, won't allow them, only the Gentle Leader.... a certain petstore we took an early beginnners class at, would not allow them either. I do however use them versus the GL, they are much more effective for control/pulling issues.

I tried the GL for awhile, but it is for horses, really, and my female already has a strained neck muscle issue which would only make it ten times worse if she had the GL on and was jerking her neck around like that. The other problem I had when in class was that she would CONTSTANTLY obsessively not leave the darn thing alone, and we could not even get through a class without me telling her no, leave it etc... it was miserable for us both.

Obviously its a personal choice, but I do use the prong/pinch collar versus the GL or any other method.
