The Gentle Leader is a great tool, should be slowly introduced to the dog a few seconds at a time. It can mess up the fur a little sometimes...the nose loop should be loose enough to slide down to the back part of the nose but the neck loop should be very snug and high up behind the ears.

I think the lap-sitting thing is one of the endearing traits of a Berner. The image of a huge fluffy dog curled up (and over) his person, testing the weight of the chair is comical and sweet at the same time -- just why we all love these guys so much. I am actually considering a much larger chair
