Try A Leather Dog Harness
For A More Pleasant
Walk Around The Block!

A leather dog harness is the most popular of all the dog walking harnesses available. As you might guess, the reason is that they are considered more stable and longer lasting. Other types of harnesses include the gentle leader and the head collar.

Not many know it but, a dog harness really helps teach your dog his walking manners, avoiding a tug-of-war every time you go out! Better still, a dog pulling harness, as it is sometimes called, is more comfortable for your dog than a leash during training sessions. They work well with big strong dogs, as well as the feisty little tuggers, but if a leather dog harness is not your choice, you can certainly choose another fabric or a even a different type of no pull dog harness. We have described some other popular harness below.

Many dogs resort to tugging when you are trying to give them leash training. As a result, this pulling can cause damage to their spine and trachea when they pull too hard on a collar. Breeds with short necks are even more vulnerable to this type of injury. On the other hand, a dog harness, unlike a dog collar, fits around the front legs and low on the torso, taking the pressure off of the neck area.

Owners report they have much more control with a leather dog harness than a regular collar. Yet at the same time, this is a much more gentle way to teach your dog his walking manners.
