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)

I have always used choke chains in the past, but Buddy just looks at it as another challenge.

No disrespect toward the proper use of choke chains, I know they can be a very effective training method. My dog ripped through several collars and harnesses, the chains were the only type she couldn't break. She'd been on a choke chain for well beyond a training time frame, and I stumbled across the gentle leader while reluctantly considering those spiky chains, I was pretty stoked to have a gentler option
