We've already tried those type of collars and they didn't work at all.
Now, I use an Alti harness (
Yahoo! Shopping Search Results for halti harness ), it controls his head, I can turn it the way I want and I feel more in control than with the chocker or any other collars I've tried before.
Anyway, my dog walks great most of the time, he is not pulling on his leash or runing fast in front of me. He walks by my side, looking at me. He made good progress. He didn't bite this dog and he remained more "calm" than before. To me, its a big step, even if he got scared a bit and barked, it is much more better than his "old" attitude.
