What Anti Pull Device Should I Use?

If a pinch collar is sitting on the miuddle of the neck, it's not properly fitted, no way around it. The pinch collar should sit high on the neck directly behind the ears with minimal sliding.

 
I would like to see the above framed as opinion and not fact. You will find many trainers who strongly disagree. Clothier's site does not allow for me to quote or excerpt from her article on the prong but she makes a point of saying the pinch/prong should be at the middle of the neck, never up behind the ears. I don't think we need to argue about this but I just want to put it out there that there is another position (no pun intended) on how prongs should be fitted.

Proper fit if the prong collar has more to do with effectiveness than anything else.  I use a prong,nad on some dogs it can sit at the base of the neck and the dog walks perfectly.  Other dogs, stronger more determined pullers, need a higher position so the handler can acheive more control. 
 
The higher the position the more dangerous the collar.  My advice is to find the middle ground that suits YOUR dog.  I prefer the dog where it as low as possible, but still see the desired outcome. 
 
My littlest dog has to wear the collar directly behind her ears or she pulls like a lunatic.  It is imporant to keep in mind that the collar is just a crutch and proper training should be used in it's place to teach the dog to walk nicely on leash.

I don't see why it matters *who* owns the dog.  An Easy Walk, to me, is the best equipment for non-savvy owners, too, since it changes the leverage, and cannot really be misused in the same dangerous ways as prongs and chokes.  FYI, what no one has really mentioned, but is worth noting, is that a pinch is *not* suitable for shy dogs or for aggressive/reactive dogs, as it tends to make their behavioral issues worse, not better.  I would not use a flexi leash anyway (a friend of my assistant had 15 stitches in her leg recently due to someone not being able to manage one properly...[:@]). 
Most of my clients who fit their dogs with Easy Walks are absolutely thrilled with the result.  I really wish people would try it before the other options.  After all, you can always do something else - but it would be a shame to have to inflict pain on your dog when something that doesn't do so works just as well, if not better.

Anyone know how to properly fit the Easy Walk Harness? The thing is (and I dont want it to seem like I keep making excuses) that I would be ordering online and I would like to get proper sizing so I dont have to return it and wait weeks to get it back. Someone told me a Large would be good?
 
Laika could afford to lose about 5 pounds (not much). Maybe I can get a harness at WalMart, try the size out and then return it...lol I'd like to get it online because its about half the price of pet store ones, so I would save money.
 
I'd be willing to reinforce the good behavior while on walks, so I can eventually take her to the park, and walk both together. She is a very well behaved dog, doesnt bark, doesnt jump, plays nice (shes a part time therapy dog) so she has got everything down, except for the walking thing.
 
Its only an outside thing though, she wont do it if were walking inside hospitals, or nursing homes, or inside the home just when shes outside. Thank you everyone for all the help and keep it coming!

I have always stood by the fact that a easy walk or a gentle lead is more humane. Sure a dog may try to wipe it off with its paw or act like he dosnt like it but wouldnt you? It takes soem time getting used to but and people give up to easily and opt for the prong or slip collar because the dog seems to like it better which in my mind is bull honkey.
Anywhoo go to any petsmart and ask one of the trainers if you could sample some of the harness's GL's, easy walk, and prong collar. Most triamers have them in the back for this purpose and you get to try them for free!

The only thing retractable leashes are good for is teaching a dog to be out in front with tension on the line.  They are not for and should not be used for training!  Especially when using devices like a pinch collar or halti!

 
You are right.  I need to stop using it.  I wasn't actually training him though.  What good are retractable leashes for?  Even on a trained dog, I don't see how they would be any good. 
 
If you used a train dog on one, I would think that would it unlearn how to walk properly and start pulling ahead.  You could keep locking the retractor, but that would beat the purpose of having the thing in the first place.  There's not much of a firm hold with them either.  So why are they big sellers then?

All you really need to remember about the Easy Walk is that the chest strap needs to ride high on the chest, level with the ground.  The harness should be snug. You should just barely fit two fingers under each strap.
The belly strap is a different color, and the strap that goes over the top has the logo on it.

If you used a train dog on one, I would think that would it unlearn how to walk properly and start pulling ahead. 

 
Not true at all.  My SHepherds are trained to pull wayyyyyyyyyyy out ahead of me to show in conformation.  I show these same dogs in obedience, where heeling is required.  Not an issue

No Petsmart here []
 
But I thinki'll call up Jeffers Pet and ask them how to properly size their harnesses, and if I dont feel too sure i'll go to Walmart, buy one, measure it then take it back[8D]
