Bailey wears a harness on our walks. She doesn't pull until Tyson decides he wants to play with bunnies or something, and she tries to join in. I usually let her LOL.
I have noticed after our walks, her "top" nipples are a bit raw and irritated from the harness. She doesn't seem to mind any, but I don't want to cause her any harm to them, or give her any discomfort. She doesn't mind the harness at all.
Is there a harness I can use that some how goes under her legs and up over the shoulders so it won't rub them? It isn't too tight, just rubs. I bought some little strap cover things for baby seats, which have velcro, but doesn't really help.
I am not comfortable walking her with just a collar as she pulls badly with the collar, and not at all with the harness.
Thank you for the suggestions.

sam wears the "easy walk " of course he is a boy - but i think the way it fits would help that problem - any pet store will let u try them on ! check it out

Thank you so much! I totally forgot about the gentle leaders in a harness!! I will be trying one on her for sure.

I ended up getting her the "muzzle" gentle leader. She didn't mind having it on, so that was a great solution.
Thanks for the idea Samsons!!

I used the seat belt protectors from our daughters car seat that she outgrew. Preston would get the fur worn off the outside of his front leads from his gentle leader harness. These velcro on pads did the trick. But I get funny looks as he is a boy with a black harness and pink pads on the side :)

I did try those. They helped a little bit. She is a puller, so I think until I get that under control, a harness won't be a great idea. I have been working with her at home, and when on walks I was using the muzzle gentle leader. She kept fighting with it on our walk. I got the gentle leader harness out, put those velcro pads on it and it seems to be working a lot better.
