You take Dear for runs instead of walks now. Just think what you could do with that harness. He would never stand a chance of ever getting you to do what he wanted.
If he’s serious about his dog heeling, he’s doing it wrong. You stop moving, give the leash a smart tug & stop the dog, then guide it to the heel position & say “HEEL!” Walking as the dog pulls you along & you say “Heel”, teaches them that heel means move.

The leash is supposed to be long enough that you can stand upright.

As a dog trainer, I have found that training the dog is the easiest part of the job. The hardest part is training the owner.

Fred …Perhaps this is the first use of the harness ;-)

My wife bought “head control” harnesses for our new terriers. They do help.

A harness is safer, too. It prevents choking!
