This should make you feel better. Baxter was having problems with his leash and collar. He would pull and it would put preasure on his trachea. When we went to PetsMart for his training, they recommened the gentle leader. At first, I thought it was just so you would buy something from them. I tried it because he had problems with the leash and collar. I AM NOT JOKING-THE SECOND I PUT THAT LEADER ON, NO MORE PULLING! He walks RIGHT by my side, right where he is supposed to and does not run ahead. Eventually, he will get to the point where he doesn't have to use it, when he can go back to a leash and collar-when walking this way is "normal" for him-a habit.

Someone posted the product on the first page-that's what I use. It is a Godsend.

I don't understand why they would frown upon it-it's a training tool.
