Do you mean for when you are walking the dog? I use a Halti with my collie as he pulls, the Gentle Leader is a similar product. Both companies sell harnesses with the same purpose in mind, but I haven't tried those.
The Gentle Leader is amazing! My sheltie mix took to it after only a few minutes and walking him was a whole new experience. I highly recommend it.
The Halti is great for large dogs and I like that it controls with far less pressure. It completely eliminates pulling and there is no collar smashing the trachea. The gentle leader is the one my dog prefers, again no trachea pressure (I just can't handle that choking sound). I had to pay close attention to the directions for a minute to figure out which way is right side up and forward, but we both love it now.
I have used both I would recommend the Gentle Leader. I have 3 dogs, a Border collie/Lab, mixed hound and an English Setter. I can walk them all with the Gentle Leader. Check Ebay for some really inexpensive ones. Get the one with the DVD that shows how to use the halter correctly.
