I did once try an anti-pull harness with Charlie - one that was supposed to raise his front legs into the air if he pulled.

It worked briefly, but he soon mastered walking along on his hind legs and pulling worse than ever.

Hello

Our training instructor who is old school said harnesses restrict rather than correct and recommended a half check chain for us. This is a full soft flat collar which fits really loosely round dogs neck. It has a tiny bit of chain that when the dog pull makes a noise and pulls the collar in NOT to a choke but so the collar is a fit around the dogs neck if you know what I mean. It has helped us with Jasper no end who is only 16 weeks and doesn't pull too much but maybe once his hormones kick in a girls are a bigger interest it could all go to pot.

I have the Yuppy Puppy harness for Finlay and Gracie. They arent brilliant but so much better than a halti (which they dont need anyway). tend to use these harnesses for when I am going for a good long walk with them, or at GTs. I have to say though that it will never stop pulling 100% only you being more stubborn than them and not going anywhere til the pulling has stopped, will help Smile

I have just bought Jack a mekuti balance harness. The web address is www.mekuti.co.uk.

Quoting from the website-

HOW THE HARNESS WORKS

'The Mekuti Balance Harness TM enables the handler to use two points of contact with the dog. When a dog pulls, you become part of their balancing technique. By using two connection points, you can withdraw one of the balance points before taking up the other. It sounds more complicated than it is. The end result is a dog that is unsure what he can lean into and therefore re-learns how to balance on his own four feet without relying on you - hence "Balance Harness". Once the dog has learnt this, you give fewer and fewer signals until he is walking alongside you without your input.'

Rachel Manns, who designed the harness, is a Tellington TTouch Practitioner.

Jack's harness, which is purple, was £15. Well worth the extra cost as we have tried most of the other harnesses on the market.

I use a half check collar with CJ also on reccomendation of the trainer, it helps a lot, we`ve also been taught other ways that help.

Confuse the dog by now and again stop going forward let the let go loose (still holding it) and go backwards calling the dog to you, repeat this a couple of times (obviously in a safe area), also change direction occasionally, say the dogs name and then "heel" and turn right, left or turn round completely and go the other way.

Doing this gets the dog thinking "better keep an eye on her, no idea what she`s going to do next"!! Very Happy

just thought i would add to all the good advice you've received - i have a serial puller - a 39kg big black lab - i have tried various things included extensive training and a harness , which made him think he was off to the North Pole with the huskies!- but what works brilliantly for us is a dogmatic ( like a halti) its padded and has something underneath the dogs head like a horses harness where you attach the lead - you have much more control of the dog than with a halti - you aim to walk with the dog on a slack lead - this is achieved by when he pulls you give one sharp tug and say heel then slacken the lead - keep repeating until he gets the message - i could not be more surprised when after about 5 mins it worked with sled dog and now he walks beautifully - mind you if i revert to collar & lead walking we are back to square one. The dogmatic shows the dog who is in control of the walk and the speed - i cannot recommend it enough. find site at www.dogmatic.org.uk tel: 01652 657922
Good luck11 Wink
