Hi all,
I'm at a loss. I've done so much research and tried so many harnesses, but really can't find one that's a good fit for my dog. No matter how much positive reinforcement we do, he now hates all of the harnesses we've tried. I'm not 100% sure what bothers him about them, but my guess is that all of them end up having a strap that sits up against the armpit. I'm trying to find something that is soft (not just straps, but some kind of padding) because sometimes he needs to have it on for long periods of time, and sits a bit farther back on his body. He is most likely a lab/pit mix, about 65 lbs. I really need a harness because he's leash reactive right now, and just the collar won't do the trick.
I currently use the Freedom, but he absolutely HATES it.
Any tips?
Thank you!
