When we had our German Shepherd in "puppy kindergarten" at PetsMart in Santa Fe, the trainer was putting Gentle Leaders on several of the dogs, but she said it was inappropriate for a German Shepherd. The gal who runs the local Schutzhund club, when she saw that all hooking the leash to our dog's normal collar did was build strong neck muscles, recommended a pinch collar. Made an enormous difference. "Power steering," she called it. Craig
