Although a dog harness is used in walking your dog, by no means does it replace the leash. As a matter of fact, the harness and leash are used together. The most commonly seen method of walking a dog is by attaching a leash to the dog’s collar. This works just fine, but when you pull on the leash during a walk or training session, it puts a great amount of pressure on your dog’s throat. To better understand this, try to imagine a cord wrapped around your leg and someone trying to drag you around by pulling on it. Doesn’t sound all that pleasant, does it? So imagine how a dog’s neck must feel when being yanked around by a leash. It’s not exactly the most comfortable feeling. This motion is not only uncomfortable, but can also be damaging to the dog’s windpipe.
