I only use a harness when walking or going to the vet, two reasons, no choking and better control of Vegas. At home he goes naked. He only goes out to the back yard to potty and I have a 6 ft. privacy fence surrounding my yard.
I've been looking at harness also and haven't decided on one yet. I don't like the clip part way down their back because Henry's still a pup and I can't keep control very well. I am liking the easy walk harness because the clip in in from of their chest and seems like I could control him and also that I can make sure he walks beside me and not in front. Am I thinking right? @2BullyMama
yes, the leash clips in the front and it self-corrects the dog to not pull and stay next to you. Make sure it is adjusted and fitted correctly or it will not work right. I have to turn Cheli's upside down becasue he is between sizes. Also, I heard you can get half-sizes on their website, but not at the stores.
Is there a particular harness that works best for their body types? I've always had lean mid size breeds, and she may be a little on the skinny side right now she is definitely not lean. Lol I may get her a collar just for some bling when we go out, but I really do think it wouldn't be good for more than decoration.
I always say I swear by the Kong Harness with the "traffic loop" handle. You can latch it on the front or back and it's super adjustable. I've tried other harnesses, but they just weren't as effective or comfortable for him....he's a puller so it took some trial and error. For example, I like to say that he easy walked right out of his easy walk harness...luckily he doesn't bolt.
I haven't seen where you can hook it in the front. I'll have to try that when I put it on her tomorrow.
