I found that the gentle lead collar only made Lily's neck stronger. She is a very determined dog.
The problem was mainly that she wanted so badly to get where we were going (the dog park was the worst). Nothing would deter her intent. We no longer go to the dog park (have a huge yard now) and we are working on obedience. The sitting works very well as it brings her focus back to me and not whatever she is going for.
I would love to have a real dog trainer come out to the house and work with me and both dogs. They are only as trained as I have made them. Sweet, but have that boxer strong will!
