re: Why own a dog breed that you can’t handle?

We have 2 Ridgebacks and 2 Bassets with a combined weight of 275 pounds and could drag me or my wife like a rag doll if they catch a scent and especially for my wife a Snoot Loop is a godsend. On the rare occasion they get rowdy you can easily control their heads, control the head and you control the body, much more effective than a training collar.
