I took Pisa out with her collar this last outing. (first time using, long time wearing) she was pretty good and pulled way less. I was sure to keep a loose line on her. (I just held flexi-lead cord)
any time she pulled in the past, I stoped moving and after a second or so she just sits.
I do plan on using the harness for our morning play/walk/train as I'm sure she will be too energetic to not choke herself.
other than not keeping constant pressure from the flexi recoil, and ensuring she dosen't hit the end at a run anything else to watch for to avoid problems later ?
the other thing is with her, she used to chew at the strap from the flexi sometimes when she didn,t want to go my way when walking,
tryed bitter apple bla bla bla, tabasco is what finally worked, and I just coated the strap again after two weeks of not having to, she wanted to bite it now that its next to her face.
she is a 4 month old rott who I am wanting to sch. with, how would you go about teaching what is acceptable, I'm basicly a first time trainer(couple pet dogs, nothing formal with them)
If you want to go that route, you do so with a mild verbal correction "no" or "pfui" followed by redirecting the dog to a tug or a rag and praising for releasing the leash.
With a collar you get better control vs a harness. At this age you encourage behaviors you want and discourage ones you do not want. Best way to discourage is not to give her the opportunity to begin with the undesired behavior, so if she bites the line when you are going for a walk, try to hold the line close to the collar as you start out, use a shorter line, do not move the line too much etc, very soon she will focus on something else now you give her more line. A regular 3-4 foot line will be more helpful as compared to a flexi in my opinion.

I'm not trying to come across as lazy or ignorant, but is'nt using a deterant (tobasco) pretty much the same thing?
she is a lot more than I expected, so I really need to stack the deck in my favor,
and I know trying to get it away from her will only result in me bleeding more
