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.

I used the Gentle Leader on my old Basset Hound Charlie and I don't think I will use it on anothr dog. It worked really really well. I had no problems walking him, but I seriously suspect that the GL caused him to become depressed. He hated having it on and he seemed so depressed. The GL is very good for walking on a leash, but for some dogs, it can have bad side effects like depression.
