A family I know has a golden retriever that is now about a year old and probably weighs 50-60 lbs that became very aggressive towards other dogs.
Mom is small and had problems controlling the dog with regular and choker leases.
They hired a trainer to help with the dog and the best solution seemed to be a leash with a built in muzzle harness and a chest harness.
It eliminated the two main issues, barking and challenging, and made the dog easier to physically stop.
After a month of working with the trainer, the dogs behavior had calmed down.
Both their dogs now expect treats after a calm walk.

The trainer’s main jog is to understand the dog’s personality and then train the dog owner.
