[Dailydrool] Harnesses

[Esther Strom]

Basil is not a puller, but a few of the fosters I've had have been very 
big, strong pullers. I've found that the front-ring harnesses work 
really well. If the dog tries to pull, the fact that the leash is 
attached to the front of their chest means that they just get turned 
right back around facing you. That said, you do have to make sure this 
kind of harness fits really well, as they can twist out of them if 
they're not properly fitted.
