My greyhound can run faster than your honor student.

I think I am going to take Goliath to PetSmart and pick up one of these training collars.
This is what they say about them:




Halti Training Head Collar
(The picture of the dog that looks a little like Goliath.)
An effective alternative to the choke collar, enforcing the simple principle that a dog's body will follow where his head leads him. (Bitches may need one size smaller.) Size Chart: M (50 to 90 lbs.), L (90-150 lbs.), XL (150 + lbs.)



Gentle Leader Training Collar by Premier Pet
(the picture with the Dalmation)
The Gentle Leader Headcollar works by putting light pressure on your dog's muzzle and at the back of the neck; replicating the way a "pack leader" gently yet firmly grasps a subordinate's muzzle in his mouth. This sends a clear signal to the dog that YOU are the leader. Along with using positive reinforcement and small food rewards, many dog lovers find they're able to significantly alter their dog's undesirable behavior in a very short time. The Gentle Leader can help you teach your dog to sit, as well as prevent jumping and lunging or tugging during walks.

Because the Gentle Leader is different from any other training collars you may have previously used, it's important to read and follow the complete instructions that are included.

The Gentle Leader is available on its own, or in a Starter Kit which contains one Gentle Leader Headcollar, along with a matching 4-foot leash and step-by-step, 35 minute training video. Gentle Leader is used and recommended by PETsMART's own obedience training instructors.




I think I will also go to a drive-through for a little lunch while we are out.
