Review: Freedom No Pull Harness
(Wiggles, Wags and Whiskers, Inc)
Available
in the Madison area at Nutzy Mutz and Bad Dog Frida
What: This is a harness designed to decrease
pulling and give you more control over your dog while walking on leash. You can also order a special leash designed to
attach to the harness in three different ways (a ring on the dog’s back, a ring
on the dog’s chest, or both rings at once).
Why: It takes some time and patience to teach your
dog to walk politely on leash. A special
harness like this can help you walk your dog more easily without thinking about
training, and without letting your dog be rewarded for pulling.
The
Paws Up: The
harness definitely worked to control pulling in a 55 pound dog that is
typically a moderate puller. One nice
feature is the velvet lining on the chest strap, since the nylon of other
harnesses, such as the Easy Walk by Premier, can cause some chaffing under the
front legs. There are also different options
for attaching the leash, which is great!
For times when you need extra control, such as walking through a crowd
or if your dog has issues seeing other dogs or people while walking, attaching
to both the chest and the back gives the most control. And if you want to give your dog more freedom
to sniff and explore, attaching to either the back or the chest decreases
pulling enough to keep the walk enjoyable.
The
Paws Down:
Unlike some of the other anti-pulling harnesses that can be fastened around
the dog’s chest/back, this harness does have to slip over the dog’s head, which
could be an issue for some dogs.
However, most dogs can be helped through this by using some tasty
treats.
