My Gulliver was a horrible, horrible puller on walks. I worked with him and he improved, but he still liked to walk faster than I do and even with harnesses he would strain against the leash and make himself hack and cough. I finally found the best harness at Petsmart. It fastens around his chest just behind the front legs and then from the shoulders across his chest, nowhere near his neck. And best of all, the leash attaches in front in the middle of his chest so as soon as he tries to pull against me he turns himself around. Instantly eliminated all pulling with him. You might check this type of harness out. It's similar to the Easy Walk style but instead of wrapping around the snout and neck it goes around the chest. Much safer for breeds like Yorkies with more delicate necks and throats. |
