If you are afraid of her having any pain from a prong, or worrying about her feeling like youre hurting her.. you could try a halti head harness. My pup pulled as he started getting older and it got to the point where i couldnt control him if he was too excited. I was looking hard into a prong, my only concern was if he still pulls with the prong on it seems like it would hurt his neck. I may be wrong, Ive never used one. And im sure there is a period where they need to get used to it. But, i ended up going with a halti. It fits around their snout and clips back behind their ears. It has a clip to go to the collar so if they slip it your still hooked to them. You clip the leash to a point under their muzzle. If they pull, it pulls their face down, and they cant see well ahead of them. So, its more of an annoyance to them. And my boy pulls WAY less. He is 80 lbs and I am 135 lbs, and I am definitely very in control when he is wearing his halti. I highly recommend looking into it.
