Awwww, poor Scrubs Laughing

Cute photo though. Very Happy

Personally I would find a trainer who will work with you and Scrubs without that collar. JMO.

Poor Scrubs. However I own a pulling machine too and it will be nice to give your shoulder a rest at least for a while Laughing

I bought 2 of these at a dog show and they're really good. They have a fleece lining next to the dog so that they are really comfy and I can use them. Having purchased all sorts of others and never been able to get them to stay on I was impressed at how simple they are.

Having tried nearly every form of collar/head collar and harness on the market over the years....and not really being a fan of harnesses at all untill now Wink

I decided to give the one that welfare sell a go and I am VERY impressed,
It's easy to use and kind to the dog.

Head collars are excellent...but most Dallys hate them even after years.

I have worked really hard with Daisy on a neck collar and she is really good MOST of the time...but for those occasions when there are a lot of distractions...in her case squirrels Rolling Eyes it really gives your shoulders a rest from the lunging.

Mr Spotalot announced a huge ''''OH NO...Not another waste of money''''
when the harness arrived and he has just done his first walk with it and has pronounced it''''VERY GOOD''''praise indeed Shocked Very Happy

I've found headcollars useful.

I mostly use harness now (not any pull ones though) and do a bit of walking nicely practice, Cooper very rarely pulls on the lead now (he used to be awful) and I can even get the Spaniel to walk nicely occasionally Laughing

I would like to 2nd the harness from Dalmatian Welfare, definetly a marked improvement from some other 'anti pull' attempts we have tried with previous Dalmatians.

I can recommend the one from welfare, admittedly it was a bit of fun trying to get it on Ballach the 1st, 2nd and 3rd times, just a bit too close to his teeth Smile

He actually has a nice trot / walk when he is wearing it now.

We even use it with his collar without any problems, this is handy when he is running off lead and want to quickly pop him back on lead.
