I have used everything! I Rarely ever use anything on Ry anymore. If i do i reach for the pinch collar as he does so great with it (and this is only at very distracting large shows/get togethers). I really like the gentle leader, and used it on him in the past. If we are going to be around alot of people i dont use it with him. He wants to rub it hard on whoever is petting him (which annoys them and me).

I will most likely use the GL, GL harness, or the pinch on a future dog.
I love taking my friends young boxer with on walks. He used to be dog/people reactive, and is a bull on a leash. They have a GL for him which works great for not pulling. He would not pant with it on though and almost had heat exhaustion because of it on a walk. I now use Rys pinch collar instead. He does great with it. With alot of work he now walks very nicely on my left beside me with Ry on the outside. Great with ignoring people and most dogs.
