I have tried (at home) using the harness for training but, I had no luck. I am going to be bringing her harness as well as her collar. I have only used a collar on Sadie for the look (it's a pretty collar) I have never used one with a leash so it will be interesting to see how she reacts to it. If it's just a little tug I don't think that will hurt her. She pulls so hard on the harness when we walk that she chokes. That's why I don't take her for walks anymore.
