Yes! Definitely helps!!!!!
I rescued an extremely dog aggressive dog. It is almost impossible to take her for walks. She’s a German Shepherd and can be scary when she sees other dogs on a walk. I bought this several months ago at the advice of a trainer. But when I got it, she hated it and I felt bad using it, so I put it away.
Fast forward several months. Aggression on walks got worse. So we decided to give this another try. To really try it this time. Not just for a few minutes. OH MY GOSH! It has made all the difference!!! She’s still aggressive, but she knows she can’t get the momentum going while she has this on. No more rabid looking police dog on our walks. We’re still working on stopping the barking, but now we actually CAN with this.
I will say, our vet tech hooked the leash to the gentle leader AND her collar, which I recommend if you have a really aggressive powerful dog, just in case they are able to slip it off you have the collar still hooked for back up.
If you have a non aggressive puller, I imagine this would be even better! Highly recommend it!
