I have been looking at these and love them. They are designed to be used with dog walking on the left. The company will make at no extra cost one for use with dog on the right. Great if like me you walk 2 together. But, after trying halti, gentle leader, canny collar, dogmatic and thunder shirts, I think hubby thinks I should spend money on him instead of the dogs. Might have to wait until he's forgotten lol.

This is a stupid question really but does the Gencon improve barking at all or is it an aid for preventing pulling only? Isla doesnt pull, but boy does she bark when she sees another dog, or a person wearing neon, or a beard...

Hi.. I used a canny collar on Maya ,I guess is similar to the gencon in the way they works..I bought this collar because maya was barking at dogs when she was on lead and in combination with training it did work for me in a way that I had more control on her and I could get her to focus on me and reward her if she did not bark..so yes I think it can help in combination with training..
