Here's my post copied from the other thread. LOL. Hope you see this, Britster!
How long did it take for that to work on yours? Did it ever cause choking? After reading your review on that, I had been eager to try it out. So just yesterday, I picked one up and it was that same brand in a Petite as my girl's around 13" girth. For the first 10 steps walking her in it, it seemed to work wonderfully. She seemed to have wanted to stay in pace or behind. BUT, in less than a minute, when she pulled she started the hacking. Though it might have been because it fits a little loose? And when she pulls, it kind of slides over so the attached part goes towards the arm while what's on top of her lower trachea is just the strap. I was not comfortable using it any longer after that though so I had refunded it same day. I've been using a leather harness that rides even lower and is not a "strap" as much as it is more of a flat leather band with 2 holes in it for her legs. So it's really a non-issue with it causing trachea problems with my pully excitable little girl. But again, the attachment is on the back so, yes, she acts like a dog pulling a sled at times.
I wanted to add that when she coughs because of the pulling, she won't do anything to stop pulling. I was hoping for a solution to this.  |
It worked right away, the first time I walked him on it. No choking whatsoever! My old harness that attached to the back caused a little choking sometimes so that's why I got this one because of how much lower it was on his neck or chest. It did take a bit of sizing though to get it perfectly right. Jackson's kind of an awkward size at almost 14lbs so I ordered the small size for him! Maybe it's just better for the bigger dogs? Sorry you weren't happy with it! Jackson's still been wonderful in his.
