<<Oops, wait. I thought you meant that she was slipping out of the harness>>


If the front ring harness is properly attached, the dog's chest should naturally be forced to turn back to you. I'm not sure how she could avoid this. The lead should not be going under her leg. If the lead gets up under her arm, let her work it out for herself. Some dogs figure out that they can make you stop to untangle them, so they need to deal with it themselves.

========================================


Is this a ChattiesMom step-in harness? If not, you might want to try that one.

Other than that, you can:

- get a collar and clip the leash to the collar for added security;
- get a different harness that attaches more securely. The more secure ones tend to have a back d-ring and encourage pulling, so you will need to train her out of this. I don't think she could slip out of a Puppia harness.

To discourage pulling, try a few walk sessions where you move as unpredictably as possible. Dogs pull ahead because they assume they know where you are going. If you suddenly spin backwards, go in circles, run, stop, walk, then turn again, they have to pay close attention to how you are moving.

Following you like this is mentally hard for the dog, so only do ten minutes or so, and then let them play off leash.
