using the gentle leader to become dominant over your dog?

my dog is dog aggressive and the behaviorist says to use the gentle leader.
what do you think, will me using a GL on the walk overlap to help his dog aggression? (he's never gotten away from me on a leash so that's not the problem..the behaviorist says i need to toughen up with my dog, to be the leader, like using the GL and crating him inside, etc)

I'm just having a hard time using theGL..i end up taking it off during the walk to give him some enjoyment on the walk.
i am the kind of dog person who needs a dog that WANTS a leader. my dog doesn't want a leader, he wants to lead. and i'm not good at it.

it's almost funny. with his GL on, we bump into each other because i'm expecting him to lead ME on the walk out of habit..and he can't lead with the GL on.
but he hates the GL..his head hangs low his tail down. i want walks to make him happy. so it take it off
my q is, will keeping it on help stop his aggression by making me "pack leader"?

Not every dog wants a leader some are dominant and if there is no clear leader they will happily take the job.
No training tool will work if you do not take the role as the leader. If you are going on walks, you should lead the dog, not the other way around.
I am not a fan of the GL but if that is working stick with it and leave it ON throughout the ENTIRE walk. I also suggest you practice NILIF (nothing in life is free) to set clear leadership. The dog should get nothing and that means no play, petting, attention, walks, water or food unless he first perfoms a command that is given. It could be any command like sit, down, wait and etc but nothing should be givem to the dog until he does what is asked.
If you do not set up clear leadership with your dog, your dog could end up biting another dog or a person and that will then cause you big problems.
Good Luck!!!

BTW, I prefer prong collars. I know they look cruel but they are not, they are actually a very good training tool because the prong, when contracted, simulate an alpha dog "biting" the neck of your dog. It is through biting that dogs understand/learn what is acceptable/not acceptable behaviour. The pinch of the prong collar only contracts when the dog lunges or pulls and the pinch makes them stop doing that. You do not need to "pop" these collars (like you do a choke chain) and very little effort is needed from you for a correction. Most dogs walk happily with a prong on and quickly learn while wearing the prong collar and using voice re-enforcement, not to pull or engage in otherwise unwanted behavior.
Dogs can only do and get away with what we allow and they need to be taught what is wanted and expected so they can be good canine citizens.

Where can I find a not so pricey Labradoodle/ Goldendoodle breeder in New England?

I have been looking around on the web for months now looking for a Goldendoodle/ Labradoodle breeder. The problem is that each time when I find the pricing of the pup, it's usually over priced. The average price I have seen is like $2500 and during this economy that is way too expensive. All what I am looking for is a breeder that can sell their Golden- Labra doodle for under a thousand dollars atleast. My price range can go up to soo much like $800 at the most. Also each time when I find a place that sells that breed of dog for that much it has been a puppy mill. Otherwise, I am in just some desprete need to find a well rounded breeder for much less of the cost I've been finding. I am very open to an average person that has Golden/ Labradoodle puppies for sale. I just need as much help as possible.

We just bought a male goldendoodle from a breeder in WA state. This breeder will ship a puppy & has done so often. The website is
starviewkennels.com. This is a very reputable breeder who charges $900 for an F1 goldendoodle, parents on site. Hope this helps :)

what size gentle leader for my collie?

what size gentle leader do you think would be best for a seven to eight month year old border collie?? and whats the difference between a gentle leader and a halti?

The size varies by weight. See the source below.

My wife had a problem with our dog practically pulling her arm out of joint. Once I got a Gentle Leader that fixed he problem.

He didn’t like it at first, but now he’s a perfect gentleman.

How Much Should A Yorkshire Terrier Be From A Reputable Breeder?

I am not talking about teacups and all that crap. I am talking AKC good quality Yorkshire Terriers. How much would a good breeder charge for a show quality Yorkshire? and a pet quality Yorkshire? I know each breeder is different, but what should the price range be around. I am talking reputable breeds as well. Also if you would could you please tell the price you paid for your pet/show quality dog from a breeder?
Thank you much, I appreciate your time.

Pet quality the lowest you could expect to pay would be around 600-700.

Show quality low end would be 900-1000

There are some breeders who do not charge differently for show vs pet quality. You don't see this too often but it does happen.

My mother show Cocker spaniels cost her for both around 2200 I believe. I honestly don't remember. Out Rottie(pet quality and an older pup) was 600. My next dog is going to cost me between 500 and 900.

What's the difference between Parson Russell Terriers and Jack Russell Terriers?

I thought they were the same breed but they are not…

They started out the same breed, but now the Parsons are admitted to the AKC and JRTs aren't. JRTs have shorter legs, in general. Both breeds can have smooth or rough. The Parsons, being registered, are bred to the breed standard. JRTs can be more different form one another. Some are more like beagles, some are more like terriers.
Here is the breed standard for the Parsons:

What is better: Gentle Leader Head collar, or Halti Head collar?

Which is better? and Why?

I'm thinking of getting my puppy one. :)
I have heard that the Gentle Leader is better, but that may just be for certain breeds. They do fit differently — I believe that the Halti slips off of shorter faced breeds too easily.
