There are now an over-whelming number of products on the market that proclaim to stop your dog pulling. How are you meant to choose which one is right for you? Even if you ask the experts, you'll find some trainers or behaviourists simply swear by one type of head collar, and don't have any trust in others. Ofcourse, people all have preferences - it's a free world... but how are you meant to choose when you are getting conflicting advice?
The first question on your mind might be - should i get a head collar to control the dog's head and stop him pulling, or is there a harness that actually works?
