Granny's gone and done it again

Personally I would use a prong collar on Bandit but you need a professional to get it fitted properly. I know they are not popular but used properly thay can make an excellent and humane training tool.

They LOOK like they would, but they don't. That's why people don't like them.

I could probably sit in my chair and hold him but doubt I could pull him back.

If fitted properly it just sits on the neck. The handler should never pull on it or keep the leash tight. It should only tighten if the dog pulls, and it won't puncture or hurt the dog, it's just uncomfortable so he stops pulling right away. Unlike a choke collar, where you see dogs coughing and gagging and dragging their owners around.

You won't need to pull him back. Once Robert pulls Fawn away, he should calm down.

Anyway, that's just my opinion, what I would do. Others may have better suggestions.

I don't either. Have seen too many dogs in my classes with the hair worn down, or I could feel heat and swelling* from dogs pulling and owners yanking. Fitted them with a prong and in a few minutes the dog would be heeling properly on a slack line.

Edit* around the dog's neck.
