So here is our new bundle of fluff  meet Jax, 7 1/2 weeks old now. I am wondering if anyone has any preference or suggestions as to the best harness they have found for waking a large breed like these guys? I looked at one called the "joy harness" that people use on sled dogs. Or" pug life harnesses"? Any opinions or suggestions I would love! Thank you so much  Claudia pink and family -- Sent from Outlook Email App for Android

Hi highly recommend the perfect fit modular harness. It comes in three parts and it’s a bit expensive but it’s the best harness I found, and I’ve gone through many https://www.cleanrun.com/product/perfect_fit_modular_fleece_lined_dog_harness_girth_strap/index.cfm Barbara Burton-Werle, CNWI NACSW (TM) Certified Nose Work Instructor, Certified Wag It Games Instructor, PetCPR+ Certified > On Dec 15, 2020, at 12:54 PM, Claudia Pink via NewfLink <newflink@nsnewf.org> wrote: > >  > > So here is our new bundle of fluff 😁😁 meet Jax, 7 1/2 weeks old now. > I am wondering if anyone has any preference or suggestions as to the best harness they have found for waking a large breed like these guys? > I looked at one called the "joy harness" that people use on sled dogs.

Congratulations! I have heard mixed opinions on harnesses. One frequent opinion is that harnesses actually do the opposite of what you want, meaning they teach a dog to pull. We use a martingale style collar. My son, who was 18 at the time, taught our newf to walk a perfect heel in about a week. He just simply stopped walking and changed directions every single time Fulton pulled. It took a lot of patience, but very worth the work Fulton was 10 weeks old at the time. Good luck with your fluff ball! They are the best breed in my opinion.

I have the same concern regarding a harness until he learns to walk politely on a leash….When we went to ‘puppy kindergarten’ the instructor said the harness doesn’t teach etiquette with regards to walking with out pulling…I had get a leash….After a year of painstaking training….He can now walk nicely with a harness….I picked mine up on Amazon…I love it… Vickie Gunny Bear and Stella Rose From: NewfLink <newflink-bounces@nsnewf.org> On Behalf Of Karen Butler via NewfLink Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2020 2:51 PM To: bethoven-mn@msn.com; Northstar Newfoundland Club <newflink@nsnewf.org> Cc: Karen Butler <karenb564@aol.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [NewfLink] Best harness?
