What's this?

Dog harnesses/collars to prevent pulling?


So Charley was a pretty good on a leash for a while, but not so much any more. We've been lazy about walking her properly and my son who is now her primary caretaker during the day has not followed through with our efforts to really get and keep her walking well. I've used a traditional choke chain in the past with other dogs with very good results. The choke chain is not working with Charley. Partly due to her anatomy and partly due to her behavior the chain won't stay in a position that prevents her pulling. Last couple of walks have been pretty bad, and I feel like she's hurting herself from pulling so much. I see "no pull" harnesses in the pet store. Those things any good? What have you had success with?

  Easy Walk Dog Harness. Works great. As below, the leash hooks at chest -- reestuart 01/05/2021 11:46AM
  As said below, better training. When Charley pulls stop. Don't move again -- RhinoVT 01/05/2021 11:29AM
  Get a longer leash... -- Burruss Writer 01/05/2021 11:23AM
  A prong collar worked wonders with my former Brittany mix -- Trogdor 01/05/2021 11:09AM
  We have Julius K-9 harness/vests that are very effective -- PhotoHokieNC 01/05/2021 11:07AM

  He's 100% correct. Leash walks are the best way to train a dog. -- bluehokie 01/05/2021 11:44AM
  IIRC, he uses a choke type collar -- JoesterVT 01/05/2021 10:47AM
  Better training is the only thing that will help. But for some dogs it -- HokieNoVA 01/05/2021 10:41AM

  I third this...we have 140lb+ Newfies and they work great. ** -- Vtskier1 01/05/2021 12:59PM
  This - virtually no strain on the handler ** -- HokieMacDaddy 01/05/2021 11:32AM
  The harness just allows them to pull against the leash more. -- vthokieq 01/05/2021 10:22AM
  My wife tried that with me, it didn't work. ** -- HokieGator 01/05/2021 12:44PM
  My son bought the harness with the leash connection hook -- hokie-c 01/05/2021 10:40AM
  Same concept as the gentle leader..body follows the head ** -- Vienna_Hokie 01/05/2021 12:26PM
  Yep. This is what we do. ** -- GFallsFan 01/05/2021 11:11AM
  ^^ Yep this, harness with hook in front, they pull causes their shoulders -- HokieForever 01/05/2021 10:58AM
