Accessory Review: How to Use The Easy Walk Harness

I use the Easy Walk Harness a lot during the socialization activities at Howling Woods Farm. It is quite effective for pullers, though it can be a challenge to control very strong dogs in small spaces with the harness alone, especially dogs who become over-excited in the presence of other dogs.. However, it's fine for leisurely walks without distractions.

The harness is designed for pullers, but I also use it on shy animals because it's less stressful to get them in it when compared to other harnesses. Traditional harnesses require placing something over the head and lifting feet and legs. But... know shy animals can back out of the Easy Walk, so I always attach a backup clip to a collar.

The Easy Walk Harness is designed to attach to the leash at the front of the chest, NOT THE BACK, like regular harnesses. The front clip keeps dogs from pulling because it throws them off balance, which they don't like. It's also supposed to fit snug around the waist.
