It's a miracle!

Life with our dogs has now changed forever thanks for the Sporn Training Halter!!! Our neighbors told me about this "S & M" halter that their lab has been wearing that completely stopped her from pulling when you walk. I HAD to try this out after the boys almost pulled me off my feet the other morning in hot pursuit of a shih zhu. Thank goodness I had my running shoes on because it was either "sprint" or "be dragged."
So I was over by Petsmart and decided to try out the wonder collar. IT WORKS!!!! Tex finally understands how we want him to walk, and he seemed quite proud of himself for being such a good boy. Here's how the collar works--it looks (sort of) like a regular harness that a dog steps into to put on but the chest straps are a nice wooly padded material. The chest straps clip to the leash so whenever the dog starts to pull their underarms get constricted by the straps and they stop pulling. Brilliant!!!! It doesn't hurt him at all like a choke collar and he totally gets it!!! That's my good boy!!! Probably the best money spent on the dogs so far!
I know this is not interesting to those without dogs or those with dogs who behave, but for my life with dogs, this is nothing short of a miracle!!!!!
