| Jul 16, 2014 at 15:00 | comment | added | jeremy | @Nicholas Great, I would give it a try. I agree with the pull distribution factor. Most harnesses are great for that and it's the main reason I prefer harnesses over collars. | |
| Jul 16, 2014 at 12:21 | comment | added | Nicholas | The one I've been using attaches at the back; We bought it just because we wanted the 'pull' distributed over her upper body and not her neck. My partner actually picked up an "Easy Walk" harness not too much later but we never switched. We didn't realize the value. I'm going to try that one out this week. Thanks. | |
| Jul 14, 2014 at 15:47 | comment | added | jeremy | @Nicholas Great that you have a harness. Since you have an anatolian mix and they get big, I highly suggest switching to the one that attaches to the front (get the Easy Walk or the Sensation, I swear... they're better than the rest. Which one do you currently have?). The ones that attach to the back are advertised as "correctional," but they really aren't. When the dog pulls, he's not corrected like in front-attaching harnesses. | |
