Lupi Harnesses
Anonymous:
have never used a lupi or a halti or anything else 'arness' wise... I use a half check collar as that is what I was advised by the trainer to get, although it set to never tighten on her neck I wouldn't allow that. It doesn't tighten any tighter than a normal collar and that was ok with he trainer,
but now I am thinking halto or lupi might be the way to go...although a recent trip to pet shop showed me that the ones they stock are about £30...is that right?? cos Nicki's seemed really cheap in comparison, now I am not tight with money but if that fails and she doesn't get on with it, I have wasted £30...and I would rather not...catch me drift??..well anyway I would love to know of some decent stockists, mind you I spose its best to shop where I can try it on Jessie as you all know shes a tad lardy (well I think so) and she is probably in x x large size ::) maybe a trip to another larger store is in order... *tapping foot waiting for hubby to come home*

Hi,
Colin i have the same problem with William... he pulls no matter what i do...i spent a week getting no where except 3 doors down the road either way because every time he pulled i turned the other way where upon he pulled in that direction :-
He is at the moment on a normal collar but the noise coming from his throat is scary, i have tried the halti...he pulled...the lupi...it rubbed...sitting on the ground and crying ;) that didn't work so i am going back to a normal harness...it doesn't help the pulling but won't harm his neck.

Canine Chemists have Lupi harnesses for sale for under £6 & Haltis for something like £7, so it's probably worth you doing a search online Lynsey :) Canine Chemists have a site at http://www.hyperdrug.com/store/ though you might want to send for their brochure which is packed full of doggy items at good prices.

Boy are you right Colin ;D
The extending lead seems like the perfect option when you have a young pup and aren't ready to let them off lead in public, but I made a rod for my own back :(. When I first got Morgan I used it quite a lot but then we ended up with pulling problems. I bought a halti and put it on - couldn't even bring myself to attach the lead - he went MENTAL :o - I couldn't bare to see him so distressed and took it off straight away. If anyone wants to try it, it's brand new and free to good home!! ;)
Puppy classes have made a difference. Talking to him all the time keeps his attention, not to mention a pocket full of gravy bones, and a half-check collar ;D. He now only pulls for the first couple of minutes of the walk - till the excitement wears off - he starts to concentrate on the important business of sniffing. :)
P.S My vet advised against a harness as he said it would just let him pull in comfort and he'd never learn to walk on a loose lead :-. Mind you they do seem to work for some people. :)
