I've tried walking my two on harnessess and they hate them, I only have to get them out and they will run and hide even though they love going for walks. So I ended up ordering them a combined rolled leather collar/lead each and they love them. Rosie will stand calmly to have hers slipped over her head and it took only 5 minutes on their first walk to get them to walk calmly next to me instead of trying to drag me down the road. They do still try it on occassionly but a quick correction and they're walking next to me again.
I tried several different types of harnessess before choising to try them on a collar, spending alot of money in the process. The rolled leather doesn't damage their coats either. I wouldn't recomend a collar for a puller but if you can spend the time training them to walk correctly on a lead a collar is okay. |
