Ancol/Pure Dog Listeners - Stop Pulling Dog Training Harness & Lead Set - Large Size 7-8 (inc DVD)

The most amazing bit of equipment I've ever had.This harness defies all logic, the dog cannot drag you or defy it, and it's so gentle. To look at it, you think, "what the hell", but it really does work.I rescued a 2.5 year old Spinone at 45kg in weight, he needed a halti harness around his face to control him, even that didn't work so well as he kept trying to get it off and not concentrate on you. I put this harness on him, and the difference was instant, he tried to pull and got confused as it was pulling from his side. I kept stopping when he made any pulling, and he walked back, and we started again, repetition all the time, and it worked My crazy drag-you-over Spinone now walks to heel in under 4 weeks. He's delightful nowDo you want to know something else; I'm disabled and use 2 walking sticks, I'm not the most stable person on their feet, but this harness has made it possible to have him as I love big dogsI'm still trying to stop him from walking in front of the sticks about every 10 steps he gets a little in front, but I stop, and he walks back to my side. I use with a halti lead that goes across my body as I'm unable to hold it in my hands.What I am angry about is the sizing; there are no correct measurements on the postings, all the sellers have to do is take a picture of the back of the packaging, where the sizes are very clear and precise, because I read the sellers' measurements, I ended up with a size too big, but I had no choice but to use it until I ordered a new one. Amazon need to look at thisMy last assistance dog died very unexpectedly, and now I have a new Italian Spinone. Again, a large dog pulling on a lead. My immediate thought went to the "happy at heal", but I had given them away. I bought another and I'm not sorry.My disabilities are worse now, I use a forearm walker I can't hold anything, but with my halti lead across my body and the new happy at heal harness it's working again. I stop and to a circle with my walker and now he knows, every time he goes in from, the slack has become a tight pull around we go.I need to attache "assistance sog" on the harness but there nothing so I've to to think of something.

We have a very stubborn, and strong Boxer/Staffy cross who despite three years of trying to teach him manners on the lead still pulls terribly. He only walks nicely at the end of the walk after he's had a run around the field and is tired out.Granted, he only has vision in one eye, so he pulls when he smells something interesting or sees something on the other side of the road he can't make out, but still, as you all know, a pulling dog is not very nice to walk and can really get you down.Ok, so we also have a mad young Collie who is great off the lead, but also pulls sometimes on a lead, so walking with two dogs who seem to take it in turn to be good cop bad cop with the pulling is a double thumbs down.We have tried other brands of collar and harness from a Gentle Leader, to a Canny collar and so on, and nothing really has worked.All i can say is this Ancol harness works. It's brilliant. Because the design pulls under the dogs arm if they pull, it really does stop them from trying to. The thing is with other anti-pull collars etc, i have always thought they are flawed in design as they mainly rely on trying to counter-act the dogs pulling with putting pressure around their neck or face. The neck is the strongest area on a dog though, so no wonder they haven't worked.I have read on with envy and puzzlement at reviews of the many products we've tried that say they stopped their dog pulling, and now i am so happy to be leaving a review saying a product has finally helped stopped my dogs pulling all the time. Norman the Boxer cross is even getting a little better just on his normal collar as a result- only a tiny bit may i add, but time will tell with continued training (moaning) and use of the Ancol harness.We were a bit peeved that the first harness package we brought for our Boxer/Staffy cross did not have the instructional dvd in as advertised, but the second one we brought (after being so delighted with its results on the first dog) did have the dvd. Very sloppy from the manufacturer/retailer. There is a Youtube video kicking about showing you how to use the harness we only found after we worked out how to put the harness on through common sense.In summation- this really works. Hallelujah is all i can say.

Easy to fit, my dog doesn't pull as hard as she does if not wearing it, though it doesn't stop her altogether. She hates wearing a harness but tolerates this one better than other styles I've tried on her
