Harnesses

Sometimes it's all about the gear. One of the best solutions for puppies who pull is a front-connecting body harness. A couple of good ones are the Halti and the Sensation.

The key to success with both of these harnesses is that the leash is attached to a ring on the chest. Why is that important? Because it's the puppy's center of gravity. Uses? These harnesses are great for small people with big dogs, dogs with neck injuries, and dogs for whom nothing else works (including head collars).

A body harness does not replace a well trained puppy. If you do not have a positive dog trainer in your life, find one in your geographic area through the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.


Google "dog harnesses" or pick one up at the nearest pet store.
Do you have a story about your puppy and his harness? A picture of him wearing one? Send it along so we can share it with our readers. Woof!
