I have a 9 month old rough collie and when we go for a walk he loves to jump up on people and children. Sometimes he will try to come out of his collar or either his harness. I was wondering if you would recommend for me to get a slip leash or head halter?

I would recommend a gentle leader and see if this works. I've used this on multiple dogs with behavioral problems such as what you are describing with great success! I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
