Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Australian Shepherds are a herding breed that tend to bark at or want to chase anything that moves. Obedience training helps but this product is faster without the pain of a standard or pinch collar. My current Aussie is my 4th rescue and at 64 lbs can sprint at 18 M.P.H., trot all day at 8 to 10. My neighbor uses his Aussie to roller board (no snow here) . These are strong dogs.
I feared dying while struggling to restrain "Biscuit" racing down two flights of concrete stairs while he is pulling against my restraint, wheezing. After a year of shoulder pain, I gave up and purchased the Gentle Leader reflective from Amazon since my local mart does not stock this, only an imported knock-off. This is a well-built product with thick segments and large snaps.
"Biscuit" immediately accepted the Gentle Leader. He didn't even test me with it. I now hold the leash (yes it does reflect) loosely in my hand while he trots at my side. I am not "sold" on the "Martingale Loop" yet; although it does seem to work. I just do not care for the resulting leash wobbling. A smaller size might put more cross-chest pressure to overcome the loop's roll but at rest it is already tight across him.
You will need to adapt your walking style. I still use the standard collar with its registration tags. I find crossing the included leash across his side and back minimizes the leash wobble. Alternately, keep the dog at your side with the leash falling directly to the dog's chest.
Oh, your dog will probably want more walks too.
