No Pull Harness

[XTRAWLD]

I'd like to get a new harness to walk Ryder and I'm thinking of the No Pull Harness, as mentioned on GT. http://www.2houndsdesign.com/Freedom-No-Pull-Harness/

 

I'm also hoping that this puts no pressure on his neck. Is anyone aware of where the pressure points are with this harness when walking? The vid just says even pressure throughout the chest.

 

Does connecting the front and the back of it simultaneously make the magic happen for no pulling? So I should buy the Euro leash? http://www.2houndsdesign.com/Euro-Leash-double-connection.html

to much hardware and leashes for me, i'm a simpleton. for a harness,i use harness lead, it's the only harness that annie can not get out of and felix doesn't get chaffed arm pits.http://www.harnesslead.com

interested in what folks say here, we need to switch Larry to a harness as his neck is not doing well....

None of my guys are pullers, but we have these harnesses.

There is no pressure on the neck.

 

Ruby has needed Chiro on her neck and shoulders a few times over the years and I don't want to walk her by her collar.

Same with Nixon... He is older and I don't want any strain on his neck, so he wears his harness.

 

I clip the leash to the ring on the top/back....there has never been any rubs. It does need to be fitted fairly close to the body, otherwise I find the twist a bit crooked.

I have never felt the need to clip to both front and top rings.

 

And they come in awesome colours

Goodness... double braided nylon leash! Did you get that at West Marine

 

It's multi-tasking hardware: walk the dog, tow boats, tow cars, pull tree stumps... etc

[cleptogrey]

yes, the harness lead is heavy duty. i have used the large and medium/small on my dogs and the large on my daughter's 12# rat terrier, the difference is in the length,

.....the link above is to the website. they wash up beautifully and are quite comfortable unlike flat nylon leads.

Love my harness lead! So comfy for dog and hands. Easy on/off, can't back out of, comes in many colors, no buckles/snaps, and no lifting legs to put it on. I use the large size, but the smaller size gives you a shorter leash.

I do sometimes get rubs on the chest where the chest loop and the strap running perpendicular to it runs. It's usually after a difficult walk where we have seen multiple cats, bush turkeys and small fluffies.

 

But generally, I love these harnesses and they do make walking my high prey girl much much more pleasant.

Interesting. Do you use the front and back clips?

[Brandiandwe]

Just the back ones. The front ones are used when things are really wild and they work beautifully. But the really back walks are only every two or three months, so it's generally just the back ones.

I've used both the No-Pull harness and the HarnessLead and like them both. They're very different from each other, but both are easy to put on and very hard to escape from and both gently discourage pulling. The HarnessLead has the added advantage of being resizeable as your dog grows, if you buy it for a puppy. I fitted one on a 6-week old pup at a local vending event in November and it was stinking cute and worked great!
