Karen -- Take a look at the no-pull harness shown here: http://www.petsmart.com/dog/shopping/collars%5F%5Fleashes%5F%5F%5Fid%5Ftags/harnesses%5Fand%5Fmuzzles/products/product%5F11833.shtml.
We used a very similar one on 2 of our dogs who pulled terribly - a 65 lb husky-x and a 95 lb intact BMD boy. Works well - does not inflict pain, but rather causes discomfort under the arms ONLY when the dog pulls. Worked great for us - after a few weeks we could put it away and had well behaved dogs on leash!

A friend of mine uses a "pinch collar" and I just wanted an opinion on them.
