Review on Stop Heavy Pulling With GoodBoy Dog Head Halter - Padded Collar For Small, Medium, And Large Dogs - Safety Strap Included - Training Guide For Effective Leash Control - Size 2, Blue by Michael Rasberry

Maizy is a 120 pound mastiff/boxer, and she pulls us over when walking on the leash when she gets excited. She also pulls at the end of the leash when she's on a walk, and doesn't listen to any commands. At least she used to be that way. We got the collar a while ago but just started using it two days ago. It worked as soon as we started using it. She can eat and drink with it on, and it's made of soft material that has padding. But for some reason, it does control her. She will NOT pull the leash if she has it on! She is a little nervous, but we followed the directions and used treats to get her used to it slowly. She lets us put it on easily and doesn't try to pull away. She just seems confused, but I believe she will be OK after she gets used to it. The one we got is a large.The cons to this are as follows:1) The clip to hold the collar to the correct size under the muzzle is very cheaply made. I can tell that if she DID try to pull, it could easily break. But she doesn't so far. Hoping that will continue. I can see why some people's reviews said to sew under the clip once it is at the right size to keep it from coming loose, since strong pulling might very well snap it. Maizy doesn't seem to need this precaution.2) The security strap that is supposed to hold it to a collar doesn't work well with a chain collar. We may get a cloth one, but we have been using the collar without using the security strap for now. We tried it at first, and also tried having two leashes, one on the collar and one on this. But she seems to be a totally different dog when this is on! So we don't seem to need it. I suspect that with a more stubborn dog, you would need to have a cloth or leather collar and attach it with the security strap. We call it "Spock's Brain," because we thought Maizy didn't have a brain, and now she seems to!"Brain and Brain, what is brain? It is controller, is it not?" Only true fans of the original Star Trek will get that.
