My 6month old Brittany puppy pulls on the leash like he weighs 200lbs. I have been recommended the easy walk harness and I wanted to know if anyone has used it before? I've watched a bunch of youtube videos on how to fit it properly and use it properly so I'm fairly confident there, but does it really work? I'm not expecting a miracle, I just want something to cool his jets so I can do more "heel" and leash training. Also, can I leave it on him when he goes in the kennel? Usually he has to go out to pee immediately when he gets out of the kennel and I don't know if it's too fussy to put on in a hurry.

I purchased one today and used it on our bedtime walk and it was wonderful! I was sure to bring a handful of poached chicken breast (his fav training treat), and worked on "heel" in addition to helping him get used to the easy walk. He took right to it and was walking at least near me within about 5 lunges forward. He was a little confused why he couldn't pull against me, but he didn't freak out like he did when I put the head harness thing on him (I took that back immediately).

Thank you all for your input and advice. I knew that it was a training aid, I just needed something to bring his focus to me in order for the training to work. I was constantly fighting for his attention, but this seems to bring him back to focus so I can teach him what I expect of him.

Since joining this forum about a week ago, my puppy has already started turning into a proper gentleman. Thank you all so much!
