if its a choker style collar then i have a much better suggestion.

go to petsmart and get a large easy walk harness.

my dog is a jumper and leaper and every time i walk her she used to jump and leap at other dogs. with the easy walk harness if she tries to do any of that the way its designed it just turns her around and she just gives up. eventually she stops and its more comfortable and save for them as well.
Good suggestion, I just Googled the harness you recommended and I have no tried one of those harnesses before. I guess I just assumed all harnesses were similar. I've been through 2 harnesses that didn't work too well in terms of my dog pulling + the fabric deteriorating over time. A dog trainer recommended that I use the current collar I have because my dog is so strong so when he tries to pull it tightens and he learns to stop quickly. At first I was not a fan of it either but I have learned to like it since it can't fall apart and works well. I only use it when I am walking him though obviously.
