The 10 Best No Pull Dog Harnesses (2019)
The tug of war between a dog and his owner is quite a natural scene when they go out for walks, is it not?
Well, if you are a dog owner, you will know the pain that this can easily cause to your arms. Sometimes it can be a hassle trying to keep up with our very furry and sporty friends, and keeping up with their activity levels can be quite a difficult thing.
One way to control this would be by using a no pull dog harness till your dog is trained to not pull.
How Does a No-Pull Dog Harness work?
Well, it applies a pressure on your dog from the opposite sides, and this, in turn, helps to bring your dog’s attention back to you.
Types of Harnesses
There are three main types of harnesses that are available in the market based on your needs:
Back Attachment Harness
In this type of harness, the leash is attached at the dog’s back, behind the shoulder (blades to be specific).
This Harness is best to use if you want to shift the pressure away from the neck for example, in a case where your dog is injured.
Otherwise, this may not be a very good option, especially because dogs find it more comfortable when pulled from the back.
Front Attachment Harness
The leash is attached in the middle of your dog’s chest in the front, and it stops your dog’s pulling because he will feel a tug on the front every time he pulls.
You can use front attached dog harness to train your dog to stop pulling but, do not use this while you guys are out on a run because the force may be too much.
Head Collars/ Head Harness
This is the type of collar which can be used under most circumstances and is highly recommended. Unfortunately, due to the way it is placed on your dog, it will take quite a while to get used to it.
This harness should fit around your dog’s head. And when pulling they will be turned towards you due to the position of the head collar.
