Hey guys,
Mumble and I are still working on leash walking, and we're making some really great progress (yaaaay!) baby steps, baby steps.
In the meantime, I worry about his neck. I've been walking him on a flat collar because his breeder told me that's what he's used to. I'm not jerking him around or anything, so he's not in immediate danger, but he does have a bit of a tendency to pull, so I worry about damage happening over time and I want to get a harness.
I've been looking for one that clips to the leash in the front because it would be great to help with the training, but I'd also like the option to clip in the back for other situations. There doesn't seem to be an awful lot of harnesses that have both.
I like Wiggles Wags and Wiskers' Freedom harness. One thing, though, is that it says it gently tightens around the dogs chest to discourage pulling. My dog is all of 7 pounds, so his pulling is just a matter of manners and he won't be dragging me anywhere, so I'd rather him be comfortable. Am I just being too sensitive to the wording of the description? Would any harnes "gently tighten?"
If anyone has opinions on the Freedom harness, or knows of another harness that can be leashed in the front as well as the back, please say so.
Thanks!
