i tried to convince zac that it would work based on this picture (look how happy she is in the after drawing!). it also came with the guarantee that if it didn't work the inventor would eat his hat (and refund our money). we were in a pretty over-priced pet shop so i thought i'd look into it on ebay. i looked up the sporn training halter on and found some really positive customer reviews (including one that was a 57lb american staffy that was constantly pulling on her lead and her person had tried everything, just like us. the sporn halter worked so well the dog's person was almost in tears on her first walk with the dog using it). i found one on ebay for a pretty good price (almost $15 cheaper than the pet shop, including shipping!). it is AMAZING! i've only had time to take wombi on 1 proper walk since we got it 4 days ago but i've taken her to the park several times and it is sooooooo nice! zac has done several nice walks with her and even ran into a bunch of dogs(not all at once but over the course of the walk) the other day (and i ran into a couple on the 1 walk i did) and she is a lot better with them-- pretty whiny and stuff but she doesn't look like an idiot whipping her head around trying to get the gentle leader off her face. much less embarrassing for us and i think she's not quite as nervous.
we've also put her on rescue remedy this week. that may be helping as well (we are those crazy dog people-- our dog is our child)
she doesn't look as scary either when she's got less stuff around her face (still has the muzzle though for safety if a dog did make her get aggressive or a cat flies at her face)
