I looked everywhere in Minneapolis/Saint Paul and everywhere around here, and I honestly can't find one. (That wasn't on a dog in the park.) Our dog is probably about medium sized. I'm completely exhausted after a walk around the block, and the stopping until the leash is slack does nothing at all for her. (Doesn't help that my mom just lets Cheyenne jerk her around.  Undecided )

Does anyone have one that I could buy?

Well I don't know if it helps. But there are two kinds that I know. One called a Halti, and the other is a Gentle leader.

Might help you look for where to buy one.

Gentle leader is a good one, but can possibly bring out aggressionin dogs. My previous dog used to attack other dogs when she had it on, but was fine when she had it off.

Buddy Belt is an amazing leash! It goes around the chest under the legs. My dog can't pull as hard anymore, teehee.

Barebacktamer,
I used the gentle leader with my older dog when she was young. She did not like it although it does help with pulling because it controls the dogs head. That being said I don't like those things because most people use them incorrectly, and I had mothers tell their children to stay away from my dog because "that doggy has a muzzle on". They are not muzzles. They are found under training aids. Here is a link to them at petsmart:

 What I prefer to use with my current young dog , in crowded places when I need her close and not to pull, is the premier easy walk harness. It too controls the front of the dog but by attaching to a harness in front of the dogs chest.

Notice the clasp attaches in front of the dogs chest. I have a puller and when this is on she heels beautifully. It is more comfortable than the gentle leader on the dogs face. I also found it prevents jumping up on people however thats not what it was designed for.
Hope this helps!
