Freedom Training Dog Harness-M(1IN)-BLACK

Cannot say enough good about this. The Gentle Leader nose harness had worked for ALL of my dogs before my current young one. Nothing worked for his excessive pulling, and we were in training classes from the time he was 12 weeks old.

Finally, I saw this harness in a new training class and decided to try it. The difference was the harness hooking in the front, putting pressure on the breast plate to "stop" the pulling. And I used the double hook leash (shorter version) to keep the dog closer to me and to have more leverage.

It was not a miracle of perfect walking, but it really helped with control and practice.

I have machine washed the harness (in a lingerie bag) several times, line dry. The velvet lining is one of my favorite parts on the construction; it does not break my dog's hard coat and appears comfortable on him.

I bought a second harness for my older dog who walks well on a leash because of the quality and comfort of the product. It takes some practice to learn how to put in on and off quickly, but that's a small price to pay for such a great product.
