compared to other collars this style which is better for lab that pulls?

I bought this for my 9 month yellow lab. He was backing out of his collar. This has been the perfect solution. When he pulls, it tightens around his neck like a chocker.

I have labs that pull also. This collar prevents the dog from backing out of it and getting loose. Mine still pulled with this collar. My vet recommended the easy walk harness and it works like a charm. It makes it difficult for them to pull because the strap crosses over their front legs. Amazon has the best prices!!

This style (all fabric Martingale) is good for preventing the dog from backing out, and it is comfortable. A similar construction has the small loop in the front made of chain. It is a little noisy when the chainrattles past the rings, and so gets the dog's attention a bit more. Also, if the collar is adjusted loosely on the dog, the small fabric loop hangs down in sort of a circle. For a strong pulling dog, a better choice, in my opinion, is a prong collar. From all that I've read, the prong collar, despite its looks, is not harmful to the dog. I use one on my dog. I hope that when he matures and is fully trained, I can go back to a full fabric Martingale. This style (all fabric Martingale) is good for preventing the dog from backing out, and it is comfortable.

This collar would not be the best for a dog that is pulling all the time. This type of collar works best for a dog that is spooked, it cannot back out of this type of collar.

I recommend something with a chain- not completely chain, so they can hear the sound of it pulling closed. Also the harnesses that pull their noses down seem to work for big dogs that already pull. Another bit of advice, don't let them pull you. If the dog is hell bent on going one direction change course with a firm NO. When they quit pulling then they are allowed to make decisions on where the walk will go.

This is much gentler than a prong collar...it tightens only when pulled. It has worked well for training my large puppy.I would give this a try before going to the more restrictive prong collar.

It works great. My dog is 90lbs and likes to pull and this keeps him in check. It's nice because you can slip it right over their heads and they cant get out of it.

We've had 2 labs. I'm not sure this would break them of pulling but it certainly wouldn't hurt.

For a big dog that pulls, I really like the Gentle Leader, but for general purposes, the martingale is my pick. I used the Gentle Leader to teach my GSD to heel but he always has on the martingale (shown).

We actually returned it because it was too strong and purchased the older model 400. He is now used to it and could probably handle the difference without a problem. We have a male mini-doodle that weighs around 35lbs. With the collar on loosley we almost never go above a 2 or 3 out of 8 on the strength settings. I would consider the 425 now primarily because of the faster recharging and the fact that he is used to the collar. I recharge almost every night because it would run out late on the second day. I hope this helps. Good Luck. FYI Our trainer first recommended the 425 and had us get the 400 because it has a lower low for our drama queen dog.

I would go with the largest I could find. A bull mastiff is a larger breed than my chow and the collar is adjustable.

My dog ​​is the Dogs . While walking my dog always pulls . Collars are as a matter of do not think so. However, it is free when it is not my dog ​​for a walk.

I tried to find out as much information about these collars as possible. There is one school of thought that says do NOT get a quick release fastener if you have a strong/aggressive dog cuz it's possible for them to tug so hard that this release comes open. It surely makes putting the collar on and taking it off MUCH easier, I can say for sure. Look at some videos on YouTube for great information. Just measure the dogs neck for sizing. It's no problem to take some links out if it's too large. If you choose too small, you can order extra links as well. I've tried other collars and, believe me, this one has no competition.

It might be a little harsh. My dogs are Labrador Retriever's ~ 80lbs. The collars didn't last but a week or two. I had to send them back. I wouldn't recommend.

I actually recently found a new harness that I like better than the EZ Walk - it's called the Freedom No Pull Harness. There is a leash you can buy with it that has two straps - so one hooks on the chest and one hooks on the back. That way you have dual control with your lab puppy's pulling. One thing I love about it is that the straps that go under the "armpits" of the dog are lined in swiss velvet so = no chafing. They recommend the medium for 50 pounds, but since it's a lab and will continue growing, I would go with the large. That's what I have for my golden retriever. Good luck!!

This type slip lead is not going to help with the pulling. I bought The Sporn Halter which works beautifully for any dog that pulls. I highly recommend it for your dog. It fits on the collar and goes behind each front leg and the control is with the legs and not the neck.

I have one of these collars for both of my 75lb dogs. It is the only collar that works EVEN through their thick fur.

I has seen there were different sizes. Is that correct? I have two 75 -80 pound dogs do you have the appropriate size that would be designed for them or is it one size fits all collars?

This is not about this specific collar but you all should be aware that dogs can choke each other to death by grabbing onto another dogs collar. It is best to use the kind of collar that pulls apart if a lot of pressure is put on it when dogs are playing together. Usually the safety collars have a double hitch way to keep it from pulling apart while on a leash.

Yes it is however we switched to the Perri's solid leather collar because the padding was a little thick and our lab could slip the collar. The solid leather worked better, seems stronger, & I think looks better

Not sure, but this is the head halter really helps with pulling. Our lab is very strong and could actually pull me down when walking. He is a different dog with this halter!

We have a stamdard schnauzer, 35 pounds, we use a Kong webbed collare. It is about 1inch wide. We are also working on him not to pull, give him a a lot of exercise.

I have a boxer/pit/beagle mix. this works because you can adjust it and there's NO pulling. but practice in an enclosed area first to be sure you have it properly adjusted. if not, it can be shaken off. it's still attached to the collar, but your control will be gone and if you have a hard puller, it can be a sudden yank.

Depends on size and thickness of collar. I prefer for the dog the light the has a metal clip that hooks and hangs on the metal clasp on the collar. I use this light on back of my hat band so cars see me but find it difficult to use on the dog.

I have the large for a Labrador I wouldn't go smaller. Pulls easy. Dog loves it. Plus there is room for you to put water bottles inside with the dog. Outside pockets are nice for flat folding water bowls and other items that you might need. It does fold down for storage but I have never done that since we store it in our garage.
