Is this a good choice for a dog who is aggressive towards other dogs?

Yes, my dog is aggressive toward some dogs and it allows you to get his attention focused on you instead of the dog. When he pulls, the gentle leader pulls his head back to you (kind of like with a horse). I even have one for my 30 pound dog because he pulls too. Of course, it is just a strap, not a muzzle in any way as a lot of people think it is.

Gentle Lead gives you a greater amount of control so you can discourage lunging. By constantly keeping tension on the leash, you can quickly move the dog in the direction you choose. After watching the DVD and reading the written instructions to ensure proper fit of the gentle lead, you should have no problems.

No, the dog if he really wants to can maneuver the gentle leader above the eyes. My dog had a fit because he wanted to play with another dog and it got moved around.

With horses, control the head, control the horse.It's great to use, you would have to give it a try. It better enables you to redirect attention & have control. I would think that's its possible to change behavior, with time. But an instant change will not be achieved by the gentle leader alone. It will aid you to work on a behavior change. I have a large dog, rescue, & I use a harness/dbl handle lead with the g leader/lead, for positive control. So far, she's sweet & laid back, but I want the security factor.

You will certainly have more control over him because you can turn his head. My Chesapeake is not aggressive but will pull really hard if determine. I thought the halter would not be rugged enough but so far has held up really well .

I've used with my lab/rottie mix and our mini dachshund, but the dachshund does get jerked around. Better for dogs of equal weight in my opinion.

Well first need to figure out what they are fighting for... Food, dominance, or just a breed always ready to challenge... ( breed of dog). Long coated dogs need the long prongs attached example german shepards, boxers and beagle hair wear short prongs.( the connection points for correction) Shocking the aggresser dog that starts it needs to know you are correcting and doing it. So start with that dog by itself training some things in yard at a low level 2-3. If dog doesn't listen then a nick correction along with a no. Then when dogs are together if the mean one looks at the other one say no & hit the constant button at a level 4-5 for example. But if they engage in the fight you will have to turn it up to the highest level not guaranteed to stop them. Warning they may act perfect with collar on and then return back when collar is off. Dogs learn the weight of the collar. Just FYI. If they engage in fight can even throw a bucket of wate on them to break it up. This collar will not work for crating together but for living together it may help a lot. My ex had a pit and my pointer did not get along. Pit was an angel with the collar on not fighting going on walks etc! It allows for stimulation correction when we know unwanted behavior is going to happen or is happening when dog is off a ways to be reached at that moment. Good luck

Not recomended. If its jumping or just an anoyance of some sort, yes, but if dog is aggressive it is not reccomended because it could tend to increase the aggression.

Mine was a barker at other dogs. I tug him and it helps and gets him back on track but he never went crazy.

could be - we use it with larger dogs like pointers or Deutsch Drahthaar. They dont love it in the beginning, trying to shake it off, but then get used to it. Would be worth trying

I got the extra large for my 65 pound Aussie. Also, he is a chewier and I tried the Classic and the Extreme. He definitely needed the Extreme toy. It has lasted a few months, where the Classic he was able to pull pieces from right away. I'm sure you could use the smaller size Kong, but just be aware of how aggressive your dog is as a chewier. The Kong is our dogs favorite toy. It bounces and rolls, and he loves chasing and fetching it. I highly recommend it!!

It might if done properly AND it could really make it worse too if your timing is off and your dog thinks the other dog caused the spray. Dog aggression is usually self defensive. Your best bet is to get a reputable dog trainer or to go to a training class specializing in dog aggression

I would say yes! We have a 100 lb German Shepherd with separation anxiety, who would break out of everything we put him in, and he's never been able to get out of this! We've had this for 10 months, and is the best investment in our dog that we've ever made! &#9786;

I'm very happy with the 6-blade and think it work fine on a Pomeranian. The spacing of the blades is good. Perhaps if a smaller version was available with the same spacing it might be better. As always, on grooming issues, check with the breeder if possible, as they would know best.

Since it has a R2F, it is mostly aggressive more than a Stamina type. I would recommend this if you love Attack types. :)

In my opinion, yes. Ask a trainer or behaviorist for help with barking or maybe get a citronella spray collar

It gives you more control over the dog so he pulls less when on the leash. I don't know if that will stop aggression. Check with a vet or trainer

Answer: Hello, I cannot say for sure, but my experience was that one piggie discovered them first and really enjoyed curling up on it. The second piggie followed suit a day or so later and they both enjoy them. It seems that they use the one they are most familiar with, but I would try just one since piggies do not seem to be too aggressive. They are really a nice product for them to play with. Good luck !!! - Norma Grimstad

I would say yes if you have a well mannered Husky but if he/she would pull at all to something then you might be in trouble. I have a Heeler and he pulled once and it actually came loose, not off but enough that he got at what he wanted! so consider his behavior

My golden male will chase other smaller dogs. The Dogtra will stop him immediately. Hope it works for you

Every dog is different and some dogs require a very mild intensity while others hardly respond when it is turned almost all the way up. I have the small for an aggressive Manchester and Jack Russel and the Fieldstar for the German Shepherds.
