Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

No collar or harness will stop a dog pulling, only training will do that!

Please read the replies to your other thread for hints on how to control this.

Caryll is right, you need to train your dog not pull.

Could you use a headcollar or a 'non pull' harness for the time being whilst you're training him to walk to heel?
