No Pull Dog Harnesses: What Is It & Does It Work?

Most dog owners can relate when we say that dogs that pull excessively take the beauty out of dog walks.

Not only does it result in frustration for the owner, but constant pulling on the leash may also lead to potentially dangerous health effects for your dog. The result may lead to physical pain on your dog's chest and even introduce other bad habits.

There are plenty of products and techniques available that are said to prevent your dog from pulling while on walks. However, it's important to note that not all of them will work.

One such method which has proven to prevent most dogs from excess pulling is the no-pull dog harness.

What is the No-Pull Dog Harness & How Does It Work?

A no-pull dog harness works by merging a standard dog collar, along with a dog harness. The leash is tied to the front of the dog's chest in what we call a front D-ring.

The front D-ring works by completely removing the motion of the constant back and forth pulling and tugging from the walker and the dog. Instead of the leash being clipped onto the back of the dog's harness, it is flipped on their front chest.

If your dog tries to lunge forward, they will be gently forced to rotate back to you. After a few attempts of lunging, your dog will naturally realise that there's no point in continually lunging and instead either slow down to walk with you or walk at a slower pace.
