This is because the harness in the figure of eight transforms a forward movement into an upward movement. Many dogs are not built for a head collar or a regular harness, particularly short-nosed dogs and dogs suffering from cervical pain or with a fragile backbone. before when Wilbury had a normal collar he was pulling so much he was nearly choking himself, now we can all walk with ease!

You can't imagine how frustrated I was, after thingking 'that harness looks great' and not being able to find it! Lot’s of dogs have shorter noses which means restraints like a head collar or muzzle won’t easily fit.VAT stands for value-added tax, which is charged on most goods and services within the European Union. In addition, the harness is suitable for dogs with neck or back complaints, because these are not burdened by the upward motion of the harness. This simple figure-of-eight harness converts forward motion into an upward lift encouraging the dog to stop pulling. I do find that having the dog on a half choke or choke, my arm still gets tired from the correcting, but with the Walkezee, its not like that.

The handy anti-pulling leash is also ideal for short-nosed dog breeds, such as the pug or bulldog, that cannot wear a headcollar. In my opinion there are only two animals that should wear a harness Husky dogs and Clydesdale horses it TEACHES them to pull.

As for the soreness - doesn't seem to be affecting ebbie at all - maybe cos her fur is so thick, or maybe it's because it's slightly too big so loosens as soon as she doesn't pull. I've had other cocker owners telling me I'm wasting my time even attempting to try and curb pulling cos that's what cockers do. I'd love to find one that is suitable for Cockers as I'd use it on Jasper so I could take them both out together by myself!
