Gentle leaders are not training tools. They are utilized to manuever the dogs head, like a steeering wheel. Prong collars, event hough people use them as "power steering" are training tools. Corrections (whether you believe in inductive or compulsive training) are an integral part of training. You simply cannot give an effective correction with a GL. Maybe you can, but snapping the dogs neck in the process of giving a hard correction is overcorrecitng, IMHO. Two different things for two different purposes. It pisses me off when "trainers" (and I realize that the OP's trainer only made a suggestion, but other "trainers" have made requirements) try to substitute one for the other. Folks who don't know any better readily buy into that crap.
