Fortunately he is very well trained so I control him verbally, not physically.
I'm NOT talking about the gentle leader...I hate those...never saw a dog that looked happy while using one...plus I've heard they can injure their spine while wearing one. This is similar to what I was talking about:
Easy Walk Harness, No-Pull Dog Harness - Dog Training Supply

I could walk Zach past other dogs/people with one hand...as I mentioned, if they try to pull, it pivots them to the side, making it impossible to pull. The only issue I heard with these is that when starting out using one, not to take the dog for a several miles long hike as it can rub.
