Description
I talk about harnesses: Back-fastening harnesses and front-fastening harnesses. Harnesses which have a Y-front, versus those which barricade the chest. Fit. And gape-age (I made that word up!) at the shoulder, as something to avoid.I discuss the recent history of harnesses - and how the force-free dog training scene has been transformed by the appearance of the front-attachment point.I talk especially about using a harness when it comes to gundog training and some of the conflict (internal and external) there - including when to use a harness and when to use a slip-lead.And then I review the new super-duper DOGCopenhagen Comfort Walk Air harness, which is my current fav harness.During the episode, I mention Emily Larlham's great article 'Is it harmful to attach a leash to your dog's neck?'.
