I have read and tried the loose leash thread on here with no responce. My puppy still pulles as soon as the leash is loose again. I have however noticed that he hates it and will walk loose leash if the leash happens to go under his arm pit. Do they make harness like this? Any other suggestions on collars or harnesses that would help me out so he will quit pulling the leash and me on our walks? Thank you in advance on any advice.

There are a lot of answers to your question (everyone has their favorites), but I tend to favor the design of the "No Pull" harnesses from http://www.tugnhug.com.

Wow there expensive but I guess I may try that. Im going to see what other people have to say first.

jiml,

I tried the Premier Easy Walk harness, but it kept loosening up when I used it (it was adjusted exactly as Premier advised). I ended up returning it. YMMV

jessieanne,

If the Tug N Hug harnesses are too expensive, have a look at the Bonafido Training Leash http://www.bonafido.com for an inexpensive (under $20) solution that does work quite well. They are "bare bones", and use polypropylene rope which can be a little rough on your hands (they do sell an insert for the hand loop) and work with you dog's regular flat collar, but they do work quite effectively. The "Weiss Walkie" is essentially the same thing but a little more expensive.

Sometimes if you fit them inside out, this prevents the slides from moving. Just a tip for anyone who may be having the same problem.

I have used a few no pull harnesses. None fit as well as a regular harness. Of the ones I have used I liked the primier the best. My wife used to turn it upside down once the dog stopped pulling so the buckle was on top like a reg harness.

the Bonafido Training Leash looks interesting but I hesitate (maybe its just me) to buy anything from a company that cant take a clear pic of their product.

Wood lark that looks like a leash I could just make myself it I bought all the pieces! Good lookin for me. So many ideas now dont know what I want to do first lol/ I think i might save the money and buy the no pull harness but still not to sure.

I can't say it would be the same with a puppy, or even all adult dogs, but I found my guy walked much better with a regular harness compared to a collar. It was like I was walking a different dog. He still pulled some, but far less than he did otherwise. You might try a regular harness and see how he does before spending the money for something more expensive.

I use a standard off the rack collar from Wal-mart and an off the rack leash 6 ft leash for both of my guys. Nothing fancy.

I'm still looking for the best collar for Tucker. I have a slip lead, a martingale collar/leash combo, a Sensible Harness, a Gentle Leader Head Collar, a flat nylon collar, a 4 ft and a 6 ft leash, as well as (3) 20 ft cotton drag lines.

Since Tucker is 95 pounds and still growing, I'm no longer comfortable with only using a flat collar -- the risk of neck injuries when he hits the end of the line are much greater -- for all situations. He walks on a loose-leash, but we haven't tested this under high distraction. At those times, I use the body harness. In class, I use the head collar because that's what the trainer wants. Around the house I use the flat collar.

Fleet Farm leather leash and rolled leather collar. On rare occasion I will put a Herm Sprenger fur saver collar on.

Also Petedge has some nice collars and are very reasonably priced.

$10 It works good for Nellie. It even has the sherpa fleece for the arm pits

How easy is it to put on the dog? That's what I like about the Sensible harness, it's a no-step harness.
