That’s the link to it! Definitely a simple option and it works pretty well!

PetSafe Easy Walk Harness

Alternately, you can try the Freedom Harness, which works better for some dogs.

I run with my dog (lab retriever), and she does well with a harness. Less pressure on her nose :) http://www.amazon.com/Premier-Harness-Medium-Black-Silver/dp/B0009ZD3QY

u/Twinrova · 2 pointsr/dogs

This is the one I use.

u/settersrclowns · 2 pointsr/dogs

Similar to this. The loop goes across the chest.

Walking with the leash attached to the collar can be harmful. This is an interesting article with a lot of information that explains the potential issue that can arise from using a collar. A dog can receive neck injuries, ear and eye issues, hypothyroidism, malfunctioning in the forelimbs' nervous system, and behavioral problems. It concludes by urging dog owners to buy a harness.

Also note, many think that harnesses make dogs pull more, but this isn't true. The harnesses with an attachment point in the back are what do this because it gives the dog more leverage. If the only times your dog is pulling is when she panics, then using a back attachment point is viable, but you want sturdy harness with a grip then.

​

If you are interested in some alternatives (based on the information you've given), here are some I'd recommend:

Simple No-Pull Harness - I used one like this at one point. This one is really lightweight and non-obstructive. If you need a harness that doesn't restrict movement at all, this is the one. The attachment point in front is what makes it so the dog doesn't pull.

Gentle Leader - This isn't a harness, and it certainly isn't a muzzle, and it works well. I used to have a Boxer, and I used this for him. It stopped him from pulling, and if he did pull it just brought his attention back to me. Overall, it is useful and performs quite well.

RUFFWEAR Front Range - I use this one now and it is great. This one is fairly simple, it can get dirty if you go through a lot of water, mud, or the like, but mainly performs well. It has attachment points on the front and back, reflective trim, can be hand washed, and has a neat little pocket where you can attach ID tags. Plus it has a good amount of padding that makes it comfortable.

RUFFWEAR Web Master - This is one I have also used and it has done a lot for me, so I may be biased, but is a wonderful harness. I mainly use it for hiking only because there are too many noises in the neighborhood that could spook him (thats's where a front attachment comes in handy) My boy, Odin, doesn't pull much when we hike, so I can get away with the no front attachment point. It has three straps instead of just two, reflective trim, can be hand washed, and has a really sturdy handle, but it doesn't have the little ID pocket like the Front Range (not a big deal though). The handle is what is unique for this, you can use it to lift your dog (especially when hiking) or just hold them still. I also have a nervous dog, and sometimes if he gets spooked I will use this to hold on to him and calm him down.

​

Honestly, my favorite brand is RUFFWEAR because of their harnesses and all the other gear and toys they have, but Gentle Leaders and that Simple No-Pull are both good options instead of a collar.

There’s a harness called an “Easywalk” that attaches on the chest. When you pull back on the leash it causes the pupper to sit back and sometimes sit down

We used a halti collar when training our shepherds to run next to the bikes just for some added security that they weren't going to dive in front of it and cause an accident. Front clipping harnesses are also really good for this sort of thing, especially if your dog is already known to pull on walks. Young dogs especially seem to struggle with spacial awareness and like to tangle you up in the leash so be mindful of that. To make it easier for the dog I think it's best to train them to run on only one side. I picked left since they're already trained to heel on the left side.


The most important thing, and I cannot stress this enough, is not to let the dog's nose get ahead of you by more than about two feet. If the dog is not watching you, there's no way they can see you start to turn or stop and most likely they aren't paying enough attention to hear voice commands either. For turns I use verbal and hand signals so the dog is clear on where I'm going, plus you never know when a passing car might drown out a verbal command. I use "halt" to signal sudden stops because it's rarely heard in normal conversation.


I know it's appealing to let your dog pull you along, but it's very dangerous if your dog isn't 100% attentive to verbal commands outdoors. They can pull both of you into traffic or over obstacles that aren't traversable with skates and that is something I'm not willing to risk personally. If you are always beside your dog and therefor always within their sight, it's a lot easier for them to focus on you.

Yea I found this:

What kind of treats do you recommend for training?

Your right the amount of strength she has, she doesnt care about injury at all, its like a small bodybuilder on speed when walking her.

u/iheartzombiecats · 1 pointr/beagles

https://www.amazon.com/PetSafe-Harness-Medium-BLACK-SILVER/dp/B0009ZD3QY I've used this for my beagle mix for the past 5 years. They last about 4 years, reduce pulling to almost zero and can be fitted that it just slides over their head and gets buckled behind their arm pits.

There are various types of harnesses just like this that had padding for the pits and belly to avoid rubbing.

u/trexmafia · 1 pointr/puppy101

I use an easy walker harness on my pup (https://www.amazon.ca/PetSafe-Harness-Medium-Black-Silver/dp/B0009ZD3QY) and it clips on the leash in the front. I found with my pup that harnesses which have the leash ring on the back were actually making his pulling worse.

u/Peekman · 1 pointr/Dogtraining

I had a dog like this, none of the training methods would work. We ended up just buying the EasyWalk harness.

The harness makes it so that if he pulls you can easily flip him around and make him stop. Eventually my dog got used to it and would walk normally, although I still liked to use it because if he saw a rabbit or one time a deer, it's much easier to control him with the harness.

u/BronsonBuster · 1 pointr/Dogtraining

Easy walk harness, specifically the one where it connects at the front - https://www.amazon.com/PetSafe-Harness-Medium-BLACK-SILVER/dp/B0009ZD3QY - Amazon could probably have it to you tomorrow :) I use the medium/large on my 80 pounder.

u/ossger · 1 pointr/husky

I use the petsafe easy walk harness with mine. It's been solid for over 2 years now. She's 40lbs and wears a medium.

u/baghead2025 · 1 pointr/running

Does your dog heel when you walk normally? Use the halti (or get a Gentle Leader collar, better IMO) and use your normal leash correction and the 'heel' command to get the dog into place. Obviously a lab will take a little longer to learn, but they'll pick up what you're putting down.
