As a small dog you would be surprised at the amount of force I can produce during a walk when I want to. And while I wouldn’t say I’m a “bad” puller, it got me thinking about what products are out there for dogs that do like to pull. I stumbled across the Petnovate Pull Stop Harness.
The Pull Stop Harness is a no pull dog harness that uses your pet’s own pulling force to act against its front legs. When your pet pulls to a point that it’s walking faster than you, the force that you begin to feel at the leash starts to act against your pet’s front legs, which slows your pet down and thus reduces the pulling altogether. Pull Stop does so without applying any squeezing or discomfort to your pet.
While I’m not sure how well this would work on a small dog (although this does come in small dog sizes), I bet there are some big dogs out there that could benefit from a product like this!
Petnovate also makes a no pull and no jump harness:
You can fetch the Pull Stop and Jump Stop Harnesses from Petnovate for about $20 – $30.
