My vet talked us into a gentle leader with our current golden. Maybe because our last golden pulled so much despite training. I love the gentle leader, but I would like to train the dog out of it. It is to the point that it's merely a psychological thing with him now. If it's on, he doesn't pull. If it's off, he eventually pulls. It's not even tight on him anymore.
But it does get a lot of strange looks and negative comments from people not familiar with it. I shouldn't care, but I get tired of explaining it to people who are brazen (rude?) enough to comment.
