Many people want to “master” the walk and want more control than the traditional collar and leash provides. Harnesses are a good way to encourage or discourage your dog from pulling. Once you decide the activity you want to do with you dog, you’ll want to choose an appropriate harness.
Standard Harness:
Harnesses that attach on the back are best used for active dogs and humans. With the leash on the back, the dog can easily dig his or her feet into the ground to pull. Consider using these types of harnesses when jogging, or safely biking with your hound.
Pulling Harness:
Harnesses that attach on the back with padding on the front are made for speed. These harnesses allow the dog to pull and run fast without discomfort. These harnesses are best for people who can safely skateboard or rollerblade with their dogs at a fast speed. In colder climates, these harnesses are used on sled dogs. When engaging in fast pace activities, the human must be able to keep both the dog and him or herself safe and know how to quickly stop.
No-pull Harness:
Harnesses that attach on the breast are the best harnesses for your daily walks. Because the leash attaches in the front, when the dog tries to pull, it is redirected to the side which acts as a deterrent from pulling. Use these harnesses when you are walking your dog around the neighborhood, in the park, or any time you want to walk at your pace and enjoy the view.

Hello Fernando ,
This is from Carol Sauer, April’s mother. Peanut is here in the great cold , wet northwest. Both of us are tired of that , but that is not my worry. Peanut has recently had oral dentistry and had 4 of his chewing teeth removed. He is recovered almost completely. I am concerned about what food will fill him up and what can I create of buy that will fill him and give him the weight and strength to live a full and enjoyable life. He is really a emotional support dog. He goes in with me wherever we go. He is well mannered and intuitively knows how to handle himself.
Whatever you suggest for food will be greatly appreciated by both of us.
Thank you so much.

Nature’s Logic is a good kibble choice. You may want to soak the food in water for 5 minutes to help soften it up.
