Mikki Dog, Puppy Anti Pull Harness Halter -No More Pulling, Tugging or Choking -Fit all Leads,Black -Large

So, how could this flimsy lightweight cord and toggle affair possibly control my lunging Staffordshire bull terrier?Not difficult to fit, we set off on our evening walk ( in the dark, so as to avoid other people/dogs, as is our custom - the irony is we then tend to meet only other poor souls who have a similair issue!)By the time I had crossed my patio and opened the garden gate, I noticed something different.A few half hearted pulls from doggie later I was grinning from ear to ear, and mouthing OMG!!! at my husband.We walked for 25 minutes with a totally different animal - compliant and relaxed beside us, despite my fizzing with hope and relief ( sooooo embarrassing have our walks been for the past 4 years)One interaction with other people was noticeably easier - our dog sat down and waited for them to pass. Good grief!This is only the first use, but I was so stunned I had to come and share.Will update in a while to see if this continues.The there was no chafing from the cord that goes under the legs, but I did make sure that the protective fleece sleeves were in the right position. Could imagine that if they slipped on a long walk it might aggravate after a while.This may well be the best £8 I have ever spent. Fingers crossed!Update: after a couple of weeks use this has proved very successful. No pulling, and even on the old lead the odd couple of times without the Mikki harness, he has been better behaved. One slight disadvantage is there is no control over him from the front, so pulling him away from sniffing trees is tricky, but this is only a minor issue and would still urge anybody considering to buy one!! Walks are now relxing and enjoyable- result!!

We bought this harness because our 30 kg Labrador has a huge reaction to cats/mice/rats/hedgehogs and all the wonderful animals that move around city without you noticing them. Without this harness he pulls like mad when he sees or smells potential prey. With the harness he pulls once and stops immediately. Even the initial pull is much weaker than it used to be. There are no special moves, orders or training we did before we saw this reaction so I would say the thing works great. A week into it's use I can say we can see substantial improvement, he knows not to pull while hes wearing it. Don't expect miracles, the dog will still try to misbehave with the harness on, it will just be a lot (in our case at least 90%) easier to control any unwanted behaviour and it will take only one or two easy corrections to get them to behave.There is an independent collar and some string things that actually do the work of controling the dog and the cons are that it is a bit fiddly to put this strings on and off. I don't use them all the time because it does seem to bother him a bit while he walks with it. That said, even the instructions recommend using it for 15 mins so i would say it works according to design.All in all I would recommend you try this product if you have problems with dogs constantly pulling in one way or another, if it doesn't work you get a pretty collar so in any case it's not a waste of money :)

It actually worked for my lively young Springer!I was surprised as she 'loves' to pull.It is a bit of a mission to get on though - both when she is excited for her walk and has ants in her pants, and when putting it on after her off lead walk when she is wet and muddy and I want to get her home/need to have her on the lead quick. But that's to be expected by the very nature of it.And carrying it around on your walk is somewhat annoying. When I had just a lead, I could put it in my pocket or hang it over my neck or round my waist etc. With this, I walk around with it in my hand folded into 3 as best I can as it wont go in my pocket along with her poo bags, whistle, my mobile phone for taking photos of her enjoying herself - I can pretend to myself I am going to collect my imaginary horse.I notice people have asked if it can be left on but just unclip the lead. I would say absolutely NOT because: If you have it on correctly, (i.e not to tight or loose), if the dog bends her legs (lies down, crawls under things) her legs can come out, because when she is not pulling, the straps are loose enough (rightly so of course). The second and most important reason not to leave it on is obvious and this shouldn't even be considered: it is potentially dangerous to leave loose straps/loops on a dog, simple as that. You cant have it all ways!So that being said, I still like it! She seems comfortable and stays to heel without pulling - although with a really tempting target she does lunge forward but retracts when she feels the tug under her arms....but then starts pulling again; however this is much better than a dog pulling with only a collar, where they completely lose their minds and chose to choke themselves rather than just arrive at that point 1 second later!It's worth carrying around and it's worth the hassle of putting on and off. I'm getting better at it.

Didn't really expect this to work as I'm going to be brutally honest he may look cute in a santa hat but he's a total bellend out on walks. The list of things that make him pull is long and includes the usual cats, pidgeons and any small dog that looks like a chew toy. Now I'm going to whisper this omg it works. The very first time I took him out he didn't even attempt to pull he walked like a dream and was like a new dog (he isn't I checked) and a few days later when we saw a local typical cat (you now the sort.. I'm a cat n I'm hard il kill u in ya sleep) he instantly tried to pull and was stopped in his tracks, what followed was a dirty look and we then carried on with our walk. I have tried several harnesses, head halti and martingale collars and at last I've found something that works. Harness is great quality and feels strong and there's plenty of length to extend to go over his coat, the only one thing I find annoying is the pads that go under his arm pits (legs) move and he notices and starts to try to bite them, I've solved this by simply positioning them correctly and popped a few stitches through them and now they don't move. All in all I'm very pleased and so is maverick.
