where can i get...

im looking for a specific type lead. and was wondering if anyone can tell me what it is called, so i can get one. iv just took pappy for a walk, and there was a gsd on the field with a halti type lead, because their dog was off lead,they said i could try it to see what i though of it. it was unbelievable. pappy is a strong dog, and he didnt feel strong on this lead thing. i felt i had more control of pappy using it. before i used this, i didnt think pappy pulled that much.. but after using it, he pulls a bit in comparison.
i asked them what it was called, but they cant remember.all they remember is, they brought it from a dog show, of a stall.
it looks like a normal lead, you put it on the same way as a normal lead.. but then you slip it somehow around their nose, and it looks halti like around the nose. the lead itself that you hold, isnt very long at all. im probably not describing it very good. but im hoping someone will know what it is

I recently got one and I am delighted with it - I always said that I would never use a headcollar-type collar but I finally succumbed and would certainly recommend the Gencon. I have the plain headcollar rather than the all in one version.

I use a Gencon on Cora and its been the best thing ever, she did fight it at first but with using clicker training and treats she is much better now. Cora lunges at other dogs and I used to struggle to hold her but with the Gencon on she stops very quickly

pappy is getting very big and strong. and before i used it today, i thought pappy was good on a lead.. but with the gencon, walking was a dream. i didnt think something could make so much of a difference
