Boxer Buddy
Our easy walks tend to slip down so the dogs (when pulling very hard), can get their feet out of them. This only really happens when they see something really exciting, and we are working on training them not to do this. We feel like we're also constantly retightening the martingale part at the front of the harness, as it slips loose. Both of our dogs martingale parts are at the tightest they can go - maybe that's the problem? Maybe we need a smaller size for them?
We've tried attaching the front park to the collar, however the collar then pulls on their neck as they walk we feel like. It looks uncomfortable.
Anybody have any better solutions? Even a better harness?
I'm really tired of shelling out endless amounts of money for a more comfortable way to walk these two! I'd like to avoid any halters as well (we do long hikes in the woods, sometimes on 26 foot flexi-leads when they're running around fields, so we don't think halters would be a good fit for us).
Also, after long walks my pups arm pits are usually a bit reddened. I was going to buy some sort of padding to place underneath to prevent this. Has anybody had any luck with this?
(If you see any past posts - we do use prongs for our one guy in training class only. We've had numerous issues with him, and the prong is REALLY helping us in training - we do not want to use it on walks though - soon hopefully we won't need it in training, either).
