Gentle Leader Head Collar

Our Puddy is a gigantic beast of a lab, and he really pulls when we head out on walks. He's very good natured, but he's got a lot of energy, a lot of strength, and he's not shy about laying into a lead when we're attempting a leisurely stroll. Generally, I have to let my husband manage him because after a while, it's exhausting. But all this has changed with the introduction of the "Gentle Leader" to our regimen. While this does go around the his snout, it's not really a "muzzle" - and the pressure is applied to the back of the neck instead of the front of the throat. This is quite a bit more humane, and the psychological effect on Puddy is to ratchet back his pulling quite a bit.
