Do you mean those Roger Mugford things like an head collar? I used to use one for my GSD and it was brilliant - I couldn't hold him on a normal collar he was way too strong and I felt more in control with an headcollar on. He didn't like it at first but he got used to it.

Mine didn't like it at first and used to slide down the field with his head trying to get it off but he got used to it after a week or two and he never minded having it on afterwards.

I think Sabre was a bit older than that when I first tried him with one but he was so strong it was the only thing that worked for me. Perhaps leave it a few months till she matures a bit and she might not mind having it on then.

Yes they can be quite strong can't they - I remember what it felt like They are wonderful dogs though - I wish I still had mine - he would have been 8 this year

Is there a training school near you - that might help her to stop pulling
