As an aside - some time after Gossy entered my life, she did something that really ticked me off and I yelled at her right away. I don't remember now what it was, but oh I was so mad :mad:. But what does she do - just like a teenager, she mouthed off at me (with this little rooor rooor)! Talk about diffusing the tension - I just couldn't help but laugh :D. I learned my lesson :).

@dmcarty:

For those that are a bit more interested in the Gentle Leader - it was designed by a long time trainer in MN Ruth Foster with a vet from the University of MN. Here is the story for some background that might interest you.

Thanks for posting the link Diane. Even though we use Martingale collars we have always been concerned that there could be damage to the dogs trachea if they pulled hard enough or decided to lunge.

We can see the Gentle Leader assisting our Basenji to teach himself without causing him undue stress or the possibility of him harming himself as he learns.
