Re: Lola has a cough! Harness Question
I have tried several harnesses for Brady...Abby is a great walker, so collar and leash are adequate...the only two that I found that worked with Brady were the original Sporn...but I found the plastic clip part to be rather cheap and Brady got his teeth into it for just a moment and it broke, and the gentle leader harness. Every other one I tried (and that was maybe 4 other kinds) did nothing to stop his pulling. The only thing I don't like about the gentle leader harness is that with the D ring being in the front, if they are walking even the tiniest bit in front it you, it pulls around the side of their front area, causing the chest strap to loosen.
I know, I know, they are not supposed to walk in front of you...but have you ever tried to convince a natural hunting dog that he is not actually a hunting dog and does not need to sniff EVERY square inch before you reach it? Abby trots along next to me, happily struttin' her stuff, doesn't sniff anything but the air...with Brady, however, how he doesn't get road burn on his nose is beyond me....
