Is your dog a strong puller? Do you dream of a peaceful, relaxing walk without the constant tugging? Are you currently using a harness with the leash attached to your dog’s back, or simply walking them by the collar?
If you answered yes to any of these, we’ve got a solution for you!
You may have heard that certain harnesses can encourage pulling—and this is true, but only with designs where the leash attaches to your dog’s back. Think of a team of sled dogs, where their pulling harnesses are designed to maximize strength by attaching to their back. Unless you're aiming for a skijoring adventure, a back-attachment harness is not ideal for everyday walks.
While there are various tools available to reduce pulling, we’ve found that the most effective solution is the PetSafe Easy Walk Harness. Many of our customers have experienced immediate improvements in their dog's walking behavior.
The best part? Dogs typically adjust quickly to the Easy Walk harness. Unlike other training tools that apply pressure to their nose, this harness sits comfortably around their body, avoiding any discomfort to the sensitive nerves in their snout.
So how does it work?
“The Easy Walk® Harness is designed to gently discourage dogs from pulling while walking on a lead. Unlike traditional collars and harnesses, the Easy Walk® does not cause coughing, gagging or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone. The unique front-chest lead attachment stops pulling by steering your dog to the side and redirecting his attention towards you. The quick snap buckles make the harness easy to put on and remove, and 4 adjustment points provide maximum comfort for your dog.”
