Tango and his harness

This is my boy Tango trying out the 3 in 1 harness using the front clip.

A little about him, some people know I volunteer with The Puppy Rescue Mission who works to bring over battle buddies for our military members. While Tango was not a “battle buddy” he was brought over from Qatar with his siblings by a PRM volunteer. Tango is a mix of Saluki and Canaan Dog, among whatever else lol. I say this because when exploring training options, it is important to consider breed. Tango is my sensitive boy. I could never put a prong collar on him and I would never even toy with the idea of an e-collar on him. I would lose this dog mentally and emotionally even using those methods correctly. Tango does not respond to any type of pain or correction. The goal is not to make my dog fear me.

Tango went through basic obedience during my mentorship using positive reinforcement/force free methods and this is what works for him and I. While I do do some NDT work with him, I stick to the basics using the “push” and “collecting” as well as box work.

Back to the harness. Walking Tango on a collar is a little bit of a nightmare. He is all over the place needing to smell this and that, cutting me off, pulling me left and right. Using the front clip harness, when he pulls, he feels discomfort on his shoulder which he does not seem to enjoy thus the pulling stops and he can walk loose leash next to me. If you prefer to use a harness on your dog, this is the one I would highly suggest. There is a back clip option as well but for those intense pullers, back clip is strongly discouraged. Message me if you’d like to know where you can get this particular harness
