Thanks! I was worried about the harness because everyone keeps telling me that the training doesn't work right with one, and that it actually encourages them to pull, etc. My Brandi does fine on a harness when we are just walking around, and since she is ALWAYS in a harness, then she should be trained with one. It just makes more sense. Thanks for the encouragement. I hope she does well. I want to get her into agility because she is a natural. She's a high jumper, and she's fast. I don't think ANY place should demand they wear a certain collar - it's my dog not theirs, and if she injures her trachea, who pays the vet bill? Therefore, I should be making the decisions. I was ready to leave until the trainer finally agreed to let her wear the harness. Most of the dogs are large breed dogs, except for a Westie, Brandi is the only small breed dog there. |
