Based on recommendations from this Board, I got a prong collar -- medium prongs -- for my VERY determined puller, Greta, rescued at 18 months. (Yes, ironically this is the same dog that has a problem with submissive peeing). At first it helped a little bit, but now she is right back to pulling, same as before. She actually pulls so hard, it starts to choke her. I am afraid she will hurt herself.
She has a smallish neck for a Rott, with relatively short hair. I am fastenening it at both rings. It sits right above her collar and rests against her neck, but loose enough to easily slide a finger underneath. Am I doing something wrong? Have any of you found a Gentle Leader or Halti to be more effective at stopping the pulling.
P.S. She can heel in back yard but entirely forgots once the paws hit the sidewalk. She won't even look back for her favorite treats. Often on a walk, she won't even eat a treat put right under her nose. I can practically read her mind -- Its a SQUIRRELL, or DOG. LETS GO, LETS GO, LETS GOOOOOO.
