If your dog is dragging you down the street, the harness might be the first thing to change.
Harnesses have a time and a place. They can be great for specific dogs, specific work, and specific situations.
But if your dog is pulling you all over town and the goal is to stop the pulling, the tool may be working against you.
A harness is designed to help dogs pull more safely. So if your dog is already leaning into it, dragging you, and not listening, it may be encouraging the exact behavior you’re trying to fix.
If your dog walks perfectly on a harness, this is not for you.
But if your dog is pulling you everywhere and no one wants to walk them anymore, it might be time to put the harness away and switch the tool.
