Do dogs pull harder on a harness?

Answer 1

Yes, a harness actually encourages a dog to pull more than a regular collar does. Harnesses also make it easier for a dog to pull. ---- If a dog is trained properly not to put than a dog Harness will make no difference! It does not encourage a dog to pull it simply makes it more comfortable for the dog rather than being choked by a collar. If you are having trouble with a pulling dog try training it.... When i start to train a dog i always say a short walk without pulling is far better than a long walk pulling! What you do is you start walking with your dog, if it pulls forward you stop, wait for the dog to come back to you (even if this takes a while it is worth it) when the lead becomes slack start to walk again *if the dog does not come back towards you then walk back so the dog will automatically turn around to follow you causing a slack lead therefore you walk forward again. Repeat until your dog has pawfect heelwork! Patience is the key to succeeding in this training! ----
