July 2007 - running Stell weekly has proven tedious on the body. I pulled my back hard from trying to keep her in check, on the left, at all times, when running/walking. It got to the point where I couldn't stand or walk and I'm not THAT old to have parts fail like this. What was the solution? I was offered a great tip: GENTLE LEADER EASY WALK HARNESS. Yes! It has curbed the strong pulling, she now runs by my side and my back is saved (for now).
Here she is, much preferred by her and I, free of a leash. Stella & Lia outlook at Isabel.

Yes, but the problem is that you might now be hurting her neck. This is a breed predisposed to a major neck problem (Cervical Vertebral Instability) and those head harnesses exert a tremendous amount of torque on the neck.
I feel for your back problem (I suffer from back problems myself from time to time) but I wouldn't ever use or recommend one of those collars for a Doberman.

MaryAndDobes, are you sure you know what product I am using? It doesn't attach to the head. It's a harness that goes from the belly to the back and across the collarbone. Here's a link to the: Premier Pet Gentle Leader® Easy Walk™ Harness Large.

Maybe not. I did a seach on Gentle Leader Easy Walk Harness and it showed me one of the head harnesses. I was hoping when you started talking about it that it was a different product.

Stella, 11 Months, Black & Tan Californian Doberman, Concord, CA.

Her favorite play buddies are 70-80 lb. labradoodles, poodles, goldendoodles. She loves a dobie party, rock rattle and roll in the grass! Any dog her age works too: rottweilers, labs, jack russell terriers. Some of her friends include a 120 lb. Great Dane, the fastest dog on the West Coast under 20 lbs. (Ma*s), and a lean Siberian Husky / Wolf mix, and a 150 lb. Irish Wolfhound.
It was pretty cool yesterday when she met up with an 11 month Doberman male named Remy. Remy (Martin) and Stella (Artois) at play.

I can't believe she all grown up!

Stella playing tug. Her favorite toy is by far the 5 knot rope. It keeps her busy for hours and doesn't fall apart too quickly. http://www.youtube.com/v/VBrYPXIQ6BM&rel=1

At lest she`s not tearing the place up. You cold try giving her a kong stuffed with peanut butter or creame cheese to get her thinking its a good thing when you take a bike ride. Just a thought.
Loved your update photos on her.
