[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a trainer. We have Germans Shepherds so it's critical that they learn not to pull early. It's not a tool we recommend at all. Dogs have been seriously injured by a gentle leader. Use a prong (NOT PINCH) collar for pulling. [/quote] Different poster-- We have a 4 month German Shepherd. I've gotten conflicting advice about when to start the prong. Some say wait until 6 months, others say start now. When would you say is the best time to introduce it? Also, I've also been told the prong can make the dog more reactive so it's best to use a martingale. Do you find that to be true? It's very confusing. Right now we aren't doing many neighborhood walks (lots of play in yard and woodsy walks with a long lead) but once we do, we need better control because he does pull. [/quote]
