He kinda looks like he's wearing a Hanibal Lector outfit ala Silence of the Lambs.
He is a massive, massive puller on walks, so our trainer hooked us up with a new method...including the "snoot loop" which is a head collar, that you guessed it..goes over his head.
We hook a loop leash to the head collar and then his regular easy walk harness.
Our trainer initially offered us a bright red snoot loop...Momma T however insisted on a black one so as to not call additional attention to him on our walks.
He always gets very very nervous when we hook him up to his easy walk harness and now even more so with the snoot loop addition. We think it may have something to do with being tied up before joining our family and the visual he gets when we go to put his harness on him. He literally lets out a nervous, big gulp. Poor guy. We work with him everyday to check out his harness and try to find the least anxious position. We're getting there.
Here are some visuals of how silly Shep looks all geared up, ala Silence of the Lambs, to go on a walk.
