I found a harness that finally keeps Maeve (my strong 80lb golden retriever) from pulling when we walk. She would pull so hard she could tow me up some huge hills in our neighborhood and she occasionally gave me shin splints. This harness is the Holy Grail for a dog with poor leash manners. We've been having some good walky-walks. Used to be loathe to walk her since she was so difficult to manage.

Fiona, the 7-month old, is good on the leash, although she will lolly-gag after a bit. Sniff sniff, what's this? Stop for mommy to give a big hug and smooch on the head! She loves to get the leash in her mouth, and strut her stuff. "come with me, mommy, I in charge now!" She moves like a show dog!

There's nothing as wonderful as a golden retriever on a walk! Smiling furry face, swinging feathers, tail wagging, paws gliding.
