I always like to recommend the Premier Easy Walk harness or YT member chattiesmom Walk Nice harness. It has a d-ring on the front of the harness (as well as the back on chattiesmom - why I like hers!) and it simply re-directs them towards you to stop the pulling. Jackson will sometimes pull ahead more (he never pulls
hard but if he hasn't been exercised all day, or is more energetic, he will go ahead of me more than I like) but the minute I clip the leash to the front of the harness, he walks right beside me. Other days, it doesn't matter where his leash is attached, he's an angel.
So dogs just have their days I guess.
