The Gentle Leader solved that problem. I walked him with it for about 2 years, and then one day decided to try a standard harness to see how he would do and I'm happy to report that he walks great now, no more Gentle Leader!<br /><br />Another trigger I've noticed to him pulling is his excessive need to mark his territory. He had specific spots that he would consistently mark and when we were coming up on them during our walk he would start pulling to get at it. I nipped that in the bud by limiting his marking. Now, instead of every few minutes stopping to mark, I limit him to only certain spots, which has further improved our walks!Nadine, Chewy and Lilibellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07244760839778594485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078842889642954761.post-47195894598560937602013-08-18T01:37:58.097-04:002013-08-18T01:37:58.097-04:00Hey....

I now use a top clip harness on Dex which is apparently the worst thing for pulling, but after over five years, we've found an agreeable walkie routine that rarely includes pulling, so all's well. But we work on leash skills all the time.<br /><br />I've never been a fan of the gentle leader nose or chest clip harnesses. Glad you found something that works. A hound on a scent is a pulling machine.<br /><br />Mango MommaDexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238751458587219022noreply@blogger.com
