  I have a soft cloth harness, several weeks ago the trainer had 2 Border collies brought in, Cody turned Cujo, I thought the leash was going to rip out of the cloth harness, he was airbound that's how fast he went after them, if the dog sits, Cody is fine, it's when they walk he goes nuts, I had to buy a diff. heavier harness. I use retractable when I walk him in my community, no dogs around, but I only give him 6 to7 feet of line and keep it locked , if he saw the pesty squirrel, Mr. Chipmunk or lady deer he would surly break a retractable if all the line was out. Besides I don't like him to far from me, he eats what ever he finds yuck
