<html><P>This is Abby's Mom - Marin. I have used a Gentle Lead on Abby. It is a harness (not muzzle) that goes around the nose. I have found that when she is getting ahead of me and starting to pull, I pull back and it automatically turns her nose towards me. Wherever the nose goes, the body follows. It has made a huge difference and we both enjoy our walks much more now. It doesn't do anything for flat bassets though. My dog trainer recommended it to me.</P>
<P><BR>I would love to hear more droolers' experiences with harnesses and which ones you use for your hounds. I love to walk my girls, but I usually end up feeling like I've been put through that medieval torture device where a horse is strapped to each of your limbs and then someone yells "GO"!! If I can find something to help me walk them and not suffer whiplash, that would be super! (it's not that bad, I'm MOSTLY kidding) Plus we should be<BR>getting our first fosters very soon, and it would be nice to walk a pack<BR>of dogs and somewhat resemble the Dog Whisperer's techniques. Or at<BR>least give the impression that I'm walking the dogs and not that the<BR>dogs are dragging me by the arms to the next smelly adventure! He he <BR><BR><BR><BR></P></html>
