Frequently Asked Questions

A good training harness will fit your dog snugly without digging into their skin. It will also allow you to control your dog during walks better so that you can teach them not to lunge, jump or run when they get excited. Any dog harness that meets these criteria will be a great option for you and your pet. For more information on shopping for a dog training harness, take a look at our guide on choosing the best dog harness, collar or leash.

The answer depends on your canine. If your dog has a calm and subdued personality, you may be able to walk them just fine with a leash connected directly to their collar. However, if your dog likes to run after squirrels or lunge at other dogs during your walk, then a no-pull dog training harness can give you the control you need to discourage this behavior. Many puppies train better in harnesses as they learn how to walk effectively with their pet parents. Larger breeds that can be more difficult to control may also do well in harnesses.
One other big benefit of a dog training harness is that it spreads pressure across a dog’s torso instead of pulling across their sensitive throat. This can make an easy walk harness a good choice for any dog with breathing issues—including breeds known for sensitive airways, like pugs. You can find all your essential dog training supplies and equipment for puppies and dogs at Petco.

Many dogs will pull against their leashes in their excitement to explore the world around them during walks. Aggressive pulling—especially from larger breeds—can make it difficult for pet parents to control their dog if the leash is only attached to the collar. An especially strong dog may even injure a pet parent or themselves or break loose from their walker’s grasp.
A no-pull dog training harness can be the right solution in such situations. A dog harness wraps around a dog’s torso, giving the pet parent much more control over their dog. When their dog begins to pull, the pet parent can use the dog training harness to stop the dog’s forward progress. With time, training and the right easy walk harness, most dogs will learn not to pull. Take a look at the nine best dog harnesses for small and large dogs to find out more.

Our puppy does not understand the leash and when we hook it to her collar she flips around and acts crazy. We want her to get used to it but she is going to hurt herself. We want to get her a harness but what is the best type of harness for a puppy? Some have soft material versus some made out of thinner collar materials. Which is better?
Jenny tends to pull when walking on a leash. Any good recommendations for a good harness? Thank you.
We got a front hook harness for her, will it be ok?
I've been working with a trainer to make it easier to walk my dog since it became very difficult with him trying to bark aggressively to any dog he sees. He'll pull the leash a lot to try to get there and it's quite a scene.We've tried no pull harnesses, prong collars and there's no use. Trainer mentioned acquiring a halti or gentle lead to help me ease him. He was bitten by other dog when he was a puppy and that's why he's so anxious.It only happens when walking. Is this leash a goodsuggestion?
PULLING: Off-leash, she walks alongside me. Outside, she wears a comfortable harness(pictured). •I stop and use sit command. If I verbally praise her, she jumps right back up and back to pulling. She doesn’t do treats. If I don’t praise her, she’ll stay until I begin to walk again and she’s back to pulling (repeating steps during entire walk). •Gentle leader. She will not walk and acts too ashamed.
My miniature dachshund is almost 5 months old and we currently walk him with a collar and lead- which would be better - a collar or harness? I know this breed can have back problems so just wanted an experts opinion.
I just purchased the no pull harness for my puppy. How Long should I be using it for? Is there a point when I can transition to a regular harness?
I'm currently looking for a new harness for my 8 month old puppy. What kind would you recommend to be the most comfortable for her? She's always in her harness, except for night time, so I want her to be as comfortable as possible. Thank you! :-)
So we are going to use a remote collar to train the puppy to never chew the chainlink fence she doesn’t do it often . A trainer on YouTube Solidk9 training recommended. I think it’s better to have a mild stem correction than broken teeth one day. Also going to use to work on her recall she is 80% reliable everywhere but backyard that’s 10% she comes back. What brands on amazon are good? And how do I condition her to the collar?
Going to use a easy walk harness. She pulls on way into dog park and in new situations (off and on pulling not too horrible) would it teach her no pulling ever or just with it on? I read it’s on of the tools that are actually helpful in loose leash walking. I already taught her the leash needs to be loose to go forward and she listens fairly well.
We adore our rescue dog and I love to take him on walks but although he’s great with people, he’s very unpredictable with other dogs and he’s extremely prey driven. So much that my 13 year old can’t cntril him if he sees a cat or bunny or something. What do you recommend as far as a harness or collar that will help control his pulling and lunging so that we can enjoy our walks with him more? He’s about 60 lbs, by the way.
What harness is the best and most comfortable for my dog. It would also have to work with a tie out stake. The one i have she just pulls right out of it. I think it might be a little big but the next size down is to small. It is the vest kind. Maybe thats the problem. Could you help me please. I would appreciate it. Thanks so much.
