**Soft Fabric Dog Head Collar - Adjustable No-Pull Harness for Training (Medium, Red) - Perfect for Walks, Jogging & Obedience Training**

I have a 96 lb male doberman with an insane bro dog personality. He's a big sweetie and a good boy, but he has the attention span of a gnat whenever we go out. I thought training would get easier as he aged, as it did with the female doberman, but he's attention span has only gotten worse...and he's gotten much much stronger.Our leash journey:At my wits end, I tried training with a prong collar and used it 2x before throwing it away. I was hesitant to use it in the first place but I was really out of options. Didn't work and the big lug would literally rather die pulling than register it as an indication to stop, even with all the stop training, chicken jerky, and meatballs. It was also obvious he didn't understand why pulling = bad boy, so it was like training a really dense, but cute idiot. Pointless to call him bad if he's just not associating it with the pulling.I've resisted any muzzles or head collars because of the negative stereotypes people have of dobermans. And there are so many owners that perpetuate the Hollywood stereotypes by dressing their sweet-natured dobermans in "tough" gear to make their dogs look "cool". So I opted for this soft muzzle. It has minimal padding and that's good because the harness is loose around the mouth, I wanted enough padding so his fur wouldn't get rubbed too hard, but not too much so that it looks like a muzzle, or restricts him, esp on a hot day (sun out, tongue out <3) . He has full mouth movement when collar is in the relaxed position. He's a good boy and doesn't try to pry it off. And literally the first time I tried this, IT WORKED. He still likes to pull, but adjusts quickly and I don't have to hold onto dear life anymore. If he pulls he realizes his head will turn him back, so I can finally walk rather than being dragged by his goofy butt.He doesn't care if he has it on while off leash and will recall back to be clipped. This really worked for us. I know every dog is different. But give this a try if you have a hard-puller with short attention span for training. I'm just so glad I don't have to choke him as part of conditioning. He's such a good boy, he's just over-excited on hikes/walks to pay attention to training.TIP: If your dog tries to pull it off or find it irritating, train the dog to wear it for a while at home with lots of reassurance, kisses and treats, so that they get familiar with it (and don't think of it as a muzzle/punishment) before trying it outdoors. If they think of it was an accessory, like a normal neck collar, they'll be less inclined to pull it off.
