Shout out to my goodest girl: the Staffy X Kelpie. I'm trying a new walking technique to reduce the pulling cause its all gotten a bit shit since kiddo joined us. She was always the better of the 2 dogs but with the new technique she had it dialed in within like 5 minutes. She was a nightmare on a lead when we got her so to see the progress she has made was just been awesome.
The other dog we wont be talking about here.
I donβt know much about dogs. But I saw a harness where the leash attached at the front of the dogβs chest. Maybe that was to turn them back around or to the side each time they raced ahead of the owner/pulled. Kind of as discouragement or to make it harder to act up.
Is that a thing?
Edit: Seems it is.
Itβs called a front clip harness
