mirage Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 We were using a martingale style collar but when we came upon another dog or something "interesting" Barley just pulls and pulls, so we purchased a Sense-ible no pull harness last night at dog training class. The leash attaches in the front so it is supposed to turn the dog when they pull. Hopefully will give us a chance to get him where we want him instead of trying to hold back a lunging dog.

Jay Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 That's funny! Can you imagine having Luka and Nikko on a sled team? Who the hell knows where you'd end up! i don't have anywhere to work mine so i'm not worried about it. lol besides the thought of letting Luka pull me somewhere is absolutely terrifying. he's a lunatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwprice103 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Harness all the way for me! With our previous husky, we were using a choke collar (didn't know much at the time) and she pulled so much that she actually passed out temporarily on a walk! That made me concerned about neck injuries, so now we only use a standard harness. I don't think he pulls any more than when he's on a collar, and I feel better about not straining his neck.

Barkers23 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 im usually having to pull the puppy rather than her pulling me atm so she has a normal collar. read somwhere that using a harness to early can damage the development of the shoulder/chest muscles. is this the case or do you think skyler would be better off with a harness? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidjk Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 i prefer a collar because with a harness they tend to pull more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asslinn Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I walk on collar now, I found Keiko pulled 10 times more and for a lot longer when on her harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
