Dog Harnesses

I just want to give everyone some information on what the purpose and the use of a harness is!

I have seen a lot of people walking their dogs with a harness on and having a hard time controlling their dog because they are pulling.  The truth is the use of a harness has always been used for pulling therefore when you are putting it on your dog, you are psychologically telling them to pull you.  The harness is used on working dogs!

The only way to control a dog is with a collar, tight enough to fit 2 fingers through — the neck will never break, this is the strongest part of a dogs body, therefore….please everyone, you are not going to injure your dogs neck with this, if your dog was pulling a sled with his neck then YES, this will cause a problem but if you are holding the leash and correcting them as they walk, then NO, you will never, ever, ever injure them.   A harness is more expensive then a collar therefore most places might want to sell them to you.  There is no dog out there that is NOT training that will not pull with the harness on — that’s just what the dog is psychologically being told to do.

Hope this helps everyone — I’ve just seen many people out there struggling and once I give them this bit of information, it all makes sense.

NOTE:  You can purchase a regular or a martingale collar these both work extremely well but these go hand in hand with correcting a dog when they are pulling, walking you –  you can also purchase the “gentle guider” which will help as well if you don’t know how to properly correct your dogs behaviour.
