Louri, sorry to hear that you are having troubles. I've been using gentle leader harness, Charlie still pulls, it is gentler on my hands. I keep the leash short, loop my left hand and cross over to the right,loop again with my right hand to control, and Charlie walks on my right slightly ahead of me. I try to keep it that way through out the walk. When my right hand gets tire I use my left.
Well, Charlie is small, he is only 24lb, I can still manage so far.
The bark control device, I've used it, Charlie gotten used to it and managed to bark the right tone that it does not give out static that much. :biglaugh:
All it is, is a device that give out static to the sound, the louder it is the more static it will give out. Just like you touches the clothes fresh out from the dryer. It it scary to the dogs. It is not cheap, over $60, and I'm not using it anymore. Charlie barks free! He barks for a reason, when he is provoked, dogs walking by over the fence(we have a corner house), and barking dogs from a distance. But he does not bark to a door bell! :eyes:
