I never tug on it, but sometimes she gets so excited about walks that she runs and then finds the end of the lease to be shorter then she would like. Also, I've noticed that she "hacks even when she isn't wearing the harness, for no reason. But it's more apparent when I'm walking her. Any advice is appreciated!

Step-in harnesses are the way to go. I make mine from Dupioni Silk which not only is very elegant in appearance, it is very strong and extra gentle on our furbabies' very delicate hair. Silk does not matt and tangle up the hair like other fabrics. At present I have 26 vibrant colors to select from.... I add new colors almost weekly so if I don't have a color that suits your fancy I will be more than happy to try to find one that does. suggestions.
