hi i was in cary today, (actually everyday for now working) and saw someone walking a bueatiful white grey down cary parkway this afternoon. (i think its cary parkway its near apex rd. that place really confuses me) im just wondering if its anybody on the board. my question to them or anyone who can answer, is it appeared they were using a harness instead of the usual leash on the collar. i was just curious if this would be easier to use. dash has learned to do much better and wlks well but i was just curious if this makes it any easier.

Hi,
I went to a harness on my Rohna and it made a world of difference. She was such a puller my hand would get sore. I'm so glad someone told me to try a harness. You won't regret it.

I've also talked to people who went back to the collar from the harness because they felt they had more control, including myself.

I use a harness on Flame. He walks with a limp and I am worried about his back. I used one on Mem when she first came.
