Another dog collar for a dog that you have under control but is still pulling is a training collar.

Well trained dogs and slip collars are never far apart.
The next choice of collar is a simple buckle type dog collar that resembles a belt. These collars are easy to adjust and should be tight enough so as not to easily pull of your dogs head but still allow for 2 fingers to fit between it.
