My dog pulls like crazy on walks. Will a front clip harness help?

Question

My pup heels really good on the walks. Whenever she sees a dog, person, car, anything that moves, she goes crazy, she doesn't care that her collar is choking her when she pulls with all her strength, she even barks like madman. Yes she is trained, no snack distraction doesn't help. She forgets about me completely at that point. I know she's young and full of excitement but I'm quite a small person and it's really hard to hold her. Would front clip harness help to hold her? Can't afford trainer.

It would definitely be a good idea to try a front clip harness like a Gentle Leader. The pressure across the chest can help you maintain better control. I do not recommend the use of the choke chain collar as it rarely works and can cause damage to the trachea. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and good luck!
