I can snap a video of Jackson walking next time we do it
lol. We usually go for our afternoon walk so I can tape it then.
The lead does not get in Jackson's face. It's basically like walking a dog with a collar, except it's not on their neck, it's on their chest. It's the same concept as "loose leash walking." You can't really loose leash walk with a harness attached to the back, I've learned. It kind of brings back their instinct to pull (sled dogs). However, I don't know how well it would work with a flexi leash... that may get in the way. Jackson can still kind of go off ahead of me, he's just not
pulling which is nice.
I know that Chattiesmom (on this site) makes walk-nice harnesses (That ARCHIE ^ was talking about) and they have both the D ring on the front and the back so you have the option. I will be ordering from her as well. The only reason I didn't was because she has a little over 3 week lead time right now and I'm going on vacation so wanted to have it before then but I've heard marvelous things about her!
