No more check collars for me. Titus pulls in them really rough and I don like it. Back to a front clip harness.

Okay I know this is an old thread but I would love some help. I am working on the "Ruff Love" program/book by Susan Garrett. In it she requires the use of a head halter so Wednesday we started using the Gentle leader. I let the petsmart employee show me how to fit it.. I know bad call.. So after some advice I looked up the more detailed info on there website. My issue is the I feel like they want the neck. back of the head band super tight and being well me I am worried. They say have it so you can only get one finger under it and that just seams crazy tight to me. I used my thumb because I don't have really big fingers and I know the don't yank on it bit but I would love someone with a little more experience to give me some thoughts or there experiences. I am planning to follow her methods which use the head halter to teach the dogs to not need the head halter but maybe because I have never used one before it kind of scares me.

Also might look super tight to me because Simon is so fluffy and he just got a bath and blow out so even more fluffy.

Also now that I have it correctly he can't get it off but sometimes when he stretches he makes like pug noises. I honestly don't know if that's something he did before but I could just be worried. I don't know why but I am super worried like in a panic and he is just laying there acting normal. Thing I might have had to much caffeine and sugar today because I am not myself.
