Mick Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Looking for recommendations for a suitable harness for Penny. There are a number on the market but would prefer recommendations from greyhound owners. Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 What do you want to use it for? There are different harnesses for different issues.

Mick Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Only had Penny 10 days. She is pulling a lot when walking and it was suggested we get a harness with a top and front ring and use a halti, however there are so many harnesses out there so looking for recommends. Thanks mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Morgan has a snappy padded purple on from Petco. My words of advice would be to get a step in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 The Freedom No Pull harness from 2 Hounds Design is what we bought for Petunia based on a number of recommendation from others here. Petunia likes to plant herself on walks so that she doesn't have to go home, so the harness gave us more control over her without hurting her like pulling on a regular collar would. The owner of 2 Hounds is also a member here and gives back regularly to the Greyhound community, so is a good option for collars, harnesses etc. We also bought the double ended leash that attaches to 2 points on the harness, but I found the hardware on it to be very heavy, making it a little harder to handle. We found that with Petunia, one point on the harness gave us enough control and the double leash wasn't necessary, so we just use her regular leash which is lighter weight and more comfortable to use on walks. https://www.2houndsdesign.com/ Quote Camp Broodie.

BatterseaBrindl Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 We also have the 2hounds harnesses. I would not use a Halti - the risk of twisting their necks is high.

HeyRunDog Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Using a harness can make a dog pull more as they can use their chest and whole body to pull on the lead. My preference is for a well fitted fishtail collar or martingale and when they pull give it a quick tug/flick, not hard enough to jerk the head or neck but enough to get their attention, and then let the lead go slack immediately giving the command "heel". If you don't keep the lead slack they think it's a game and continue to pull.
