The leashes, harnesses, and leash attachements we offer for enthusiastic dogs are a blessing for leash-challenged dogs and the people who walk them. These leashes and harnesses provide the handler with more comfort and control, and less physical abuse from being jerked around. The dog benefits by having less physical trauma to his neck, spine, and trachea; a safer more secure attachment to his handler so he is less likely to pull loose when lunging and head for trouble; and a higher probability of increased walk time since it will be more enjoyable for his human companion on the other end of the leash.

Training your dog to walk nicely on leash involves communicating to him or her what you expect and positively reinforcing and rewarding good behavior.

Some dogs have problems learning leash manners because they have too much pent up energy, some have been give mixed messages - allowed to pull sometimes and not other times, some are good on leash most of the time, except when they see a cat, squirrel, another dog, etc.

Along with easing the jerks and pulls and providing you with more control over your dog, the leashes and harnesses we offer for enthusiastic dogs can help you train your dog to walk nicely on leash. Some dogs who know they can pull their owners over or drag them along, will gladly do so when they want to go somewhere (to chase a squirrel or cat, go meet a neighbor dog, etc). These leashes and harnesses can give you more control over your dog so your dog learns he is no longer in control, and pulling does not get him where he wants to go. When combined with positively reinforcing your dog for good behavior on leash with treats and praise, your dog learns it is much more enjoyable and worthwhile to walk nicely.

Wildly enthusiastic, leash challenged dogs also need lots of exercise. These leashes and harnesses help to break the cycle of dogs who don't get walked because they pull on leash, and who pull even more because they dont get enough walks and exercise.

As your dog starts out pulling, these leashes absorb the pull, easing some of the pressure from your arms, shoulders, and back and from your dog's throat, neck, and spine; providing a more enjoyable walking experience for both of you, and a greater liklihood of longer walks, more often. This, in turn, calms your dog down enough so he can focus on learning how to walk nicely on leash.

All of these products have testimonials including some from Chiropractors acknowledging the benefits of these leashes to your well being. It is my experience that all of these leashes and harnesses are helpful for walking dogs who pull and training dogs to walk nicely on leash.
