^ Should take care of the pulling issue.
I second that.........my German Shepherd ripped my arm right out of it's socket one day. Ever since then he has either the electric collar on or a halti. Electric collar let's him know I'm not screwing around........and totally modifies his behavior!
Sorry,but if you need a e-collar on a easily trainable, german shepard then you need to get another dog.
I've seen them on Rots labs Shepards dobies and the like.Ridiculous.
A pure hunting dog,hounds and bird dog types, yes.They lose track of everything around them when they get on a scent
The ones mentioned above? You need training lessons.
Those dogs are so easily trained they should never need an e-collar
Oh BTW,I saw a guy that weighed ,maybe 160+- with 2 120+# malamutes that went to the end of the leash,no further.They could have easily pulled him all over,if he didn't have them trained correctly
