I have and use both on Poppy. I really like the prong when we are going out or for a walk. She does pull some without it, but not like some dogs I know of. The reason I have the gentle leader is that a prong is not acceptable to use when she will be on her therapy visits, been assessed and pass and will start visits in late Sept, so I had to get the gentle leader. She does not like the gl, but is getting better on it each time. I would not have got the gl but the prong may scratch skin and in assisted living visits we can't risk a cut to the patient's skin. On the prong she behaves perfectly, rarely a correction and just a wiggle then. On the gl, well lets say we walk in circles a lot and she hears "come around" my command to get her into a heel position a bunch. Getting better, but not there yet, although I think she will be fine on our visits with the gl I will still use the prong some also.
