Freedom No-Pull Harness – This is the harness I recommend to walk dogs of all sizes. The Freedom Harness has both a front clip and a back clip with a leash that attaches to both clips for greater control and leverage with dogs that are pullers. The back clip is attached to a martingale loop which tightens the harness around the dog’s rib cage when it gets to the end of the leash, providing feedback that it has gone too far from the handler. Along with the proper training, this harness helps teach dogs not to pull. It comes in many great colors and sizes and is adjustable at every strap.
Clickers – Clicker training is the most precise method of communicating to your pet that they have performed a behavior that you like for which they will be rewarded with something they love, making the chances of that behavior being repeated much more likely. Using clickers to train pets helps build a strong bond and relationship with them. Just click & treat for the behaviors you like and your pet will offer the behaviors more often!
Training Book
One of my favorite books on dog training…“The Power of Positive Dog Training” by Pat Miller
