GSDs are quite intelligent--use different collars for different venues. 
Your dog will know the difference.  Also,  with my first dog, I  taught the 
command "Obie, let's go" for pulling out in the breed ring and "Obie heel" 
for the obedience ring.  Never a problem.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Obedience and conformation

Hey all. I have a question, and I thought  Id try and post it to the forum. 
I just purchased my first puppy that I am wanting to show. Hes a big boy 
now, and turns a year old next week. I didnt want to teach him to heel, so 
he knows how to pull out in the ring. I have taken him through basic 
obedience class so he knows how to sit, down, etc. The heel is the only 
thing we didn't work on. Today I took him for a walk, and when we progressed 
to a jog, he pulled out so hard, I fell and wiped out really bad. I don't 
want to stop walking him, but goodness gracious he's gotten to strong for me 
to handle on a basic walk. I've tried him on a choke, and he completely shut 
down, when given a correction being seemingly terrified of the choke itself. 
I've even tried I think its called a fur saver.. and toggle. Thanks for 
reading I'm covered in scrapes. This sucks.
