A dog walking by would FREAK HIM OUT but with the GL we can walk past another dog. The pressure on their muzzle helps to calm them. It's NOT a muzzle, although when you walk her people may think it is which is a GOOD thing for a reactive dog. I find the kids are less likely to stick their hands in Loki's face when he has a big red band around his nose. Other "dog people" will know it's a GL so don't worry about that.

The sensation harness isn't my favorite - I like the Easy Walk better. The Easy Walk harness is great for a dog who pulls. I've used it on Loki and on big dogs too and it works the same. The Easy Walk is also good for a dog who will not tolerate a GL, but it won't help with the barking, etc., only the pulling.

PM me if you want more info. I can send you more info on these, even pics and sizes.

I'm curious - what made you like the Easy Walk better than the Sensation?
