Although mine do not pull as a general rule, if Ferdie see something he wants, I have no hope without the dogmatic. You will need to desensitize it though so give him lots of treats whilst showing it to him, whilst he wears it in the house etc.
It really does work, even with a dog that size.

I have a Halti (something like a dogmatic head collar) for my Briard and use a training lead so I can clip collar and halti and it does give me a lot of control over him as he is very strong, but now he is walking with all most a slack lead. Even so I think I will keep using the double lead I find it easy to use.
