This had made walking my 100# dog enjoyable
My dog is reasonably well behaved but the instant he sees another dog when we're out walking he pulls so hard I'm afraid he's going to damage my shoulders. I tried several different anti-pulling harnesses and collars and this one worked perfectly! At one point I tried the Gentle Leader head collar but my dog hated having something on his face so this harness version was much better for him. Since the leash attaches at the dog's chest and contracts if the dog pulls there are two benefits: (1) When the dog pulls the harness contracts around the front legs making walking awkward so it breaks their attention on whatever they were pulling towards and (2) since the leash attaches at the chest when the dog pulls it snaps him around to face you which gives you a chance to correct him and redirect his attention. Ultimately the dog's weight works against him versus the owner having to pull back. Now when my dog sees another dog and goes to pull he immediately stops and rethinks that move since he's instantly pulled around to face me without me having to do anything at all. A wonderful tool!More detail ...
