I got this head harness called a gentle leader, it's very similar to a horse lead style. Since it connects the leash under the dogs chin, the dog can't pull forward without practically turning around the opposite direction. My dog walked like an angel instantly (although you could tell she felt a little defeated).

It's a very comfortable loose fit, and there's no choking. They can still drink water, pant, yawn, bark, barf, etc. You can get them at most major pet supply chains, it was the best $20 I've ever spent on my dog

The choke chain was what's worked for the dogs I've owned. I had my present dog walking without pulling in about an hour with one,

But this gadget you got looks good too. If I get another dog I may have to try it out on him. (or her)
