Compulsion trainers don't want you to use a harness because they don’t understand how to communicate with a dog unless there’s something around the dog’s neck 😬 Follow to learn the better, modern way to teach your dog!

My 15 month old Shiba Inu is so lazy!! We have to pull her forward. She hates walking and just plops on the ground and refuses to walk
Harnesses were designed to pull sleds. They pull humans just fine.
You being OK with having a dog pulling on a harness (which lets a dog use all their strength to do so) is probably because you’re an able-bodied person that can handle that. Not everyone is so lucky.
I’m disappointed you didn’t mention a face halter. I used that for my dog because I didn’t want her pulling me over and causing an injury, and I didn’t want to place pressure on her neck while training her to walk politely.
Sounds like you don’t know how to train your dog, to not pull. Funny I have a 115lb and 95lb pair of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, that use harnesses since DAY 1. And we walk them daily in the neighborhood. And sometimes I walk the bigger one with another dog that is reactive to other dogs, they are tethered together and guess who does the lion share of keeping the reactivity in check? Ain’t me, there lil Missy!!! Train your dogs well, and the harness is much more the better solution. BAR NONE!!!!
Balance harnesses have a loop on the chest and back so used with a double ended lead means that if the dog pulls it just turns them into you, so dog learns that pulling literally. gets them nowhere.
There are only a few breed of dogs bred for pulling a sled.
So the problem lies only with those breeds.
The harness is not the problem.
It can be a sled pulling breed dog tho.
But even those you can train to wear a harness.
@T Jzack cant walk his 3 years old dog on an harness withouy pulling….and you listen to that “trainer” lol
Yes, sled dogs wear a harness. But there is no research that demonstrates that dogs pull more on a harness. I am not “disabled”, but I’m not quite “able bodied”, either. I had a traumatic brain injury and I have difficult walking and maintaining balance due to the location of my brain injury. I walk with a cane (and use a walker on bad days). I use a harness with my dogs. I also work with Great Danes and Irish Wolfhounds in rescue (not as much since my accident). However, I still do get them that aren’t used to walking on a leash. I do use a head halter with those dogs until they have been trained to walk calmly on a leash Our education with these dogs is they go to “elementary school” with the head halter. They “graduate” to middle school with a no-pull harness. They “graduate” to high school with a regular harness. That is our goal–to get the dogs walking on a regular harness. I can walk these dogs once trained even with my walking difficulties, a cane, and my balance issues. So a head halter is a good “tool” to use before the dog is trained. But it isn’t our “end goal” for the dogs.
My dog used to pull so hard in a collar it made her sound like she was breathing peanut butter. she actually pulled less in a harness.
Ye I had a American Staffordshire terrier almost killing himself on a chokechain.
He really didn’t care.
Because leading a dog on a collar will cause damage to the throat! Why even do it it’s common knowledge, put a collar on a human tell them to pull….they will know how a dog feels
@Whiteeagle 888I do use a slip chain in obedience trials if u put it on the wrong way which sounds like u may have not sure, upside down P is the way but!!…from a pup the doggy has to learn to lead on one, I have a maremma only use slip chain during trials majority of the time she’s off leash anyway working
Them: “Harnesses are made for pulling sleds! They’ll make your dogs pull!!!” Me: “Your shoes are made for running, and you’re still no Usain Bolt.”
Pshh, every time I put those shoes on all I wanna do is ruuuuun!! I mean, slowly cause I’m slow, but still. Running is great 😍
THANK YOU OH MY GOODNESS. I can’t count the number of people who told me a harness would make my dog pull more… he pulled regardless. A harness allowed him to not hurt him self since he was pulling anyway. He doesn’t pull much at all now but still wears his harness every time just in case!
Our 2 yo rescue dog pulls. Trainer wanted to use slip lead and when that didn’t work, recommended pinch collar. Decided to try another training method. Gradually building trust and getting results using a harness and type of no-pull leash. She is much happier and so am I!
They do it because it makes sense that you want pulled. Dog have logic.
Keep doing your thing man, you’re always a solid resource for dog training
Harnesses that lead from the front are the best!
I have never and would NEVER lead a dog on a collar, the damage u can do by them simply pulling slightly is unreal.
