Article Title: Dog Training Harness
Author: David Beart
One of the many things you may want to get for your dog when
starting to train them is a good, sturdy dog training harness,
as part of your dog supplies to have. A good harness should fit
comfortably on your dog and have enough padding to prevent any
escaping or injuries that could occur while wearing the harness.
Having your dog wear a harness is a way to keep better control
when walking your dog. Pulling a dog by the neck using a choke
chain is really uncomfortable. Also a tugging dog will prevent
itself from getting enough oxygen when it's pulling on the lead,
and we certainly do not want that! You do not want the dog to
get scared of wearing a collar or harness because of something
like that happening. Do not get frustrated or tug on the
harness. Heel is pretty easy to teach with the correct method.
Tugging on the harness will hurt the dog and get him confused.
This is the same with yelling. In taking your dog for walk and
in training your dog, there is much more considered necessary
than just a good dog trainer and an obedient and intelligent
dog. You will need a lot of dog training accessories, but
generally the most popular of all of them will be the dog
training harness.
A dog training harness was made to take the place of dog
collars. Usually, time-honored dog collars can cause irritation,
choking, and coughing for a dog when the pressure is applied if
the collar is pulled while training or walking. Dog training
harnesses help your dog escape such dreadful circumstances. A
dog harness is placed over the dog's upper body such as the
shoulders and ribcage. Its grip extends to the dog's front legs.
As a result, the dog escapes choking since the pressure exerted
while pulling is evenly distributed throughout the upper body of
the dog. The pressure is then relieved and the dog escapes
irritations caused by pulling. Also, the dog can freely bark,
catch and track things without the restraints from the collar
irritation. These harnesses come in various designs and sizes.
This wide variety is one of the reasons why many dog owners find
it very difficult to choose the right dog training harness for
their lovable pooch. Regardless of the size however, the most
important rule in choosing the right harness is to make sure you
put function and not fashion first. Make sure that the dog
training harness fully serves its purpose, that is to be able
help the keeper/trainer control, guide or manage the dog's
behavior. The most popular types of dog training harnesses are
those that are made of leather. For dogs that belong to the
large breeds, the commonly used harness for them will be made of
more durable materials. Another factor to take into
consideration when choosing the right dog training harness is
the dog's temperament and breed.
Comfort for both the dog and the trainer is a vital factor to
be considered as well. The training harness should be one that
the dog wants to use. It should be lightweight and it should be
hypoallergenic to the dog. It should not pose any threat to the
health and the growth of your dog. In addition to that, the
right harness should be able to ease your problem in controlling
a rather stubborn pooch when exposed to strangers or when you
are outdoors. The right dog training harness is often expected
to be the favorite training equipment of both the dog and the
trainer. Last but not the least; a dog harness should be durable
and strong. It should be able to handle the pressure of puppies
that are hard to control, or those who simply have aggressive
behaviors, or who get easily over excited. It should also be
able to resist the pressure and strength exerted by larger dog
breeds. In order to start getting your dog used to wearing one,
it helps to put him in the harness to get the feel of it. Let
him wear it while you walk him on leash the first time. Do not
leave a young dog, or any dog for that matter, unattended with a
harness; they have a tendency to chew through them, or get
themselves caught on something and into trouble. This really is
one of the more safer methods of training one can use with their
dog, and a dog that is safer and happier will learn better in
the end.
