hi ttouslee, first of all ask as much as you can, it's a furum and this is his porpose, to answer.
there is no need to be so afraid for your dogs neck. there neck is 4 times stronger than the human one.
the best way is by Halti, it's a leash that sits on the head of you dog and everytime you dog polls you you correct him by polling the leash that attached to the Halti. the Halti closing the dogs moth and turning his head to your side and by that preventing him to continio polling you. he's very gently and by that can control easly any dog.
this is the link to there site, it'll explane everything to you about Halti

no matter what you still need to go to the lessons. this advice will help i hope but you dogs still untrained, you cant escape it :lol:
you can also train dogs with the halti if you have very dominate dog, bitting dog or a dog with low treshold ( i ope i write it right )[/url]
