I work at a kennel and Gentle Leaders are becoming increasingly popular amongst our clients, the dogs hate them but they are very effective. What’s your opinion on them? (this is kinda in response to what you said about harnesses not being that effective…which i agree)

Well, I think some have answered that already. The tool you use isn’t as important as which method you use. Whether it’s a harness, gentle leader, or just the collar, it’s the way you train that shapes the dogs habits, not what you’re using. Either way, a dog doesn’t know how long the leash is, and pulling is a natural response to resistance, so you need to do the work and not rely on the tools you’re using.
