If you are going to try a gentle leader, I would go with the halti over it as you can get a dogs mouth closed and held closed if the need arises.
This I know as I have had the need arise. It is used only to gain control so a bite can not happen and there fore a negative training event.
Biting a human in anyway is aggresion even if it is the pant leg ( unless you are dealing with a herding dog). The dog is trying to gain control over a resouce Or trying to stop a stressful interaction or any other reasons to use it teeth ( accept teething in Puppies). It is all Under the umberalla of aggression and should be handled by a behaviourist. One that is able to work in a postive and calm manner with out the need for violence in any form.
