Leads, Harness, Collars... Oh My?!

by Jeanette
(Colorado)

I'm struggling finding the best harness for my Aussies. I've tried a traditional harness but quickly found with their breed it just encourages pulling. We then moved to a gentle leader style but I feel I don't have much control when they become excited on walks. Any suggestions on what I should try next to make our walks more enjoyable?

Leads, Harness, Collars.

Look for HALTI products. They are the best and do not harm your dog!
Good Luck.
pulling
by: Dede

My new Aussie is 2 and was not walked at his previous residence, but she said he pulls. He pulls like a train. The Halti head collar works to slow him, but I'm wondering if he could ever learn to just walk along and sniff around sometimes like my other Aussie. Of course he gets to go like lightening on his own but even 45 mins. of that does not make him "normal" on the leash. I did the thing with the chain and the treats, He is able to tune in to that but his default drive is pull. What really mystifies me is that he is so sensitive, sweet, intelligent and precise when he is not going at blast rate.
Gentle leader
by: Devery

I bought gentle leader because the dog trainer told me that it would have a better effect on my Aussie pup and it works like a charm. He does not pull like before with the martingale collar and is learning to heel using treats and encouragement.
