I use the "gentle leader" for Willy. And yes the bigger Yorkies can develop the
trachea problems, thats why we use the Gentle Leader with him. He started to have this hacky kind of cough & the vet felt that it was the early stages of collapsing trachea, and the recommended the Gentle leader & they also sell it. He has been using it for over 2 years now. He still isn't very fond of it, but he never leaves the house without it on, so he doesn't fight me to put it on. And he hardly ever hacks like that anymore, so it's working for us.
