He'll put his mouth on my hand, but won't bite down.
He is very strong and hard to walk. I have to use a head collar called a Gentle Leader. It helps me control him. I would never let a child walk him.

Awww! Love his heart, he looks so cute! We were lucky that Anna would wear her hat when she graduated Level I obedience.

We also tried the gentle leader but Anna spent more time clawing at herself to get it off then anything. Luckily we found something else that worked through our obedience instructors. I do see lots of people at the dog park using the gentle leader on their really large dogs, they all seem to like them.
