My lab bella is a rescue dog and still very very excited when it comes to 'walkies' but unfortunatley its more like her taking me for a walk! if u get what I mean I brought her the halti (the one that goes round the nose) but It was broken within 2 months. I got chattin with a guy with lab's at the vet and he reckonmended the LUPI Harness. Anyone know if this'll work or have any other surgestions please share, thanks. She is well trained just gets giddy when lead comes out.

Not because she pulls - but because an ordinary lead and collar make her cough. I think it is a good thing, and yes I can see that it would work very well with a dog that pulls - without choking it to death as nothing is near the throat. ____________ Dog: Katie Rabbit: Buffy and Georgie Hamster: Kipper Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2007 8:45 pm shadylady TopDog Joined: Dec 21, 2006 Posts: 1490 Age: 22 No.Of Pets: 10+ Pet Types: dog 2 hamsters 2 snails 2 guinea pigs 3 cats and 6 rabbits Karma: 36 Thank Medals: None 6571 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: i dont have a lupi harness, i have a nylon harness i think its nylon anyway.. its great i should of got one when my dog was a puppy because the dog is easier to handle and its great as the dog is not pulling it and choking or wheezing, and if your dog trys to pull on a harness it not gonna get very far as the harness has control of the dogs body, not just the dogs head.... ____________ Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 10:26 pm annestaff TopDog Joined: May 10, 2005 Posts: 2083 Age: No.Of Pets: 3 Pet Types: SBT Karma: 5 Thank Medals: 1 (View more...) 721 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: I have lupi harness's for mine but found after a while they mastered the art of dragging me around again so back to square one I have invested in 3 canny collars to use when I take all 3 out together and found they are brilliant Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 8:27 pm poppydog83 TopDog Joined: Feb 07, 2007 Posts: 682 Age: 24 No.Of Pets: 7 Pet Types: 3 dogs,1 hamster and 3 rats Karma: 8 Thank Medals: None 2564 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: For our labx we have the halti. Its great he doesnt pull at all. We did have a harness but he started pulling with that on which is why we got the halti in the end Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 10:23 am kat_9989 Puppy Joined: Mar 01, 2007 Posts: 15 Age: 22 No.Of Pets: 4 Pet Types: dog,rabbit,snake,rat Karma: 0 Thank Medals: None 136 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: thanks for all your sugesions, very helpful Been looking round on net and think i might try a full body harness as seen pics of lupi and considering how quick the halti broke I dont think the lupi would stand a chance with bella will let u know how we get on xthanksx Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 10:27 pm pollaton Cat Expert Joined: May 10, 2005 Posts: 2256 Age: 33 No.Of Pets: 1 Pet Types: saint bernard Karma: 2 Thank Location: belgium Medals: None 157 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: i have tried harnesses with my dog and it is a disaster waiting to happen. it gived him full body strength when he pulls. at least with a head device you will have complete control of his power. 80 % is through the nose. guide the nose and the rest will follow. ____________ Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2007 9:21 am littlelab Moderator Joined: Jan 07, 2006 Posts: 2490 Age: 36 No.Of Pets: 5 Pet Types: 2 Dogslets and 3 Kittys Karma: 22 Thank Location: Essex Medals: None 13043 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: I agree with Michelle here Harnesses were deisgned as equipment for sledge dogs to enable them to pull, which means its not a good thing to have on a dog that alrteady pulls! My suggestion would be this.. Get your self a training lead, the long one, attach this to a normal collar and wrap the long part of the lead around the chest of the dog and back into your hand, you now have a braking system, also you are SHOWING your dog where you want it to be. Start off slowly, a few steps, use the close or heel word and reward when they get it right, perisitance is the key here. I am afraid, Halti's and gentle leaders do not generally stop a dog from pulling, they just ride up into their eyes causing the dog to fight them. If you still need to use the halti, use 2 leads, one in your right hand attached to the halti and one in your left attached to the collar, you then have far more control. ____________ Natalie and Co xxx Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2007 9:51 am jacque Puppy Joined: Dec 09, 2006 Posts: 30 Age: 38 No.Of Pets: 8 Pet Types: dogs, hamsters fish Karma: 2 Thank Medals: None 26 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: The lupi harness works differently to a usual harness, you would have to see one to see how it works, but they will stop a dog pulling.
