Pablo Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi, does anyone on the forum have any experience with this harness. I have heard good things about the harness and I am considering one. My boy is 9 months old and he has been quite good at heel work until recently,since he started cocking his leg he cannot stop marking everything and he constantly pulls me to every tree,post,bush. if he sees a dog he is so excited he lunges to the dog. I can't have him doing this as it is not an enjoyable walk and was just after some great advice as usual. Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 We use the Julius K9 Harness and get on great with it. Haven't heard of the happy to heel harness but as mentioned above staceybob will be able to give better advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollynDiesel Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 If you mean the happy at heel harness stacey got me using it and i really like it I like it more than the WYDWL harness because it doesn't bunch up under their armpits. but yh once [MENTION=2703]Staceybob[/MENTION] recovers from the weekend i'm sure she can help you lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyMom09 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Sounds like he's intact? Any chance of getting him neutered? That will help with the territorial marking. As for 'walk with ease' harnesses, personally I am not for them since I work my dogs in harness and want them to use their natural ability and not be discouraged from it by a harness.

Staceybob Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Love them, nice firm harnesses with good adjustment and give you great steering with the dog. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Have you ever tried the Silky Leash method? It takes a while to master but it really is helpful. Seems roundabout but truly sticks with the dog. Someone mentioned neutering- that would also be helpful! As previously mentioned, creating a natural inclination in your dog to move away from the tension in a leash is the best way to do things. Special harnesses and collars can exacerbate the problem as they most likely will learn to pull more. PS: I hope it's okay that I posted a video of this training method. If not, I apologize.
