Best Equipment for Dogs that Pull
Exhausted from your dog constantly pulling on leash? Tired of your hands hurting trying to hold on? Ready to give up on walks all together? Here is the system that I use: some of the best equipment for dogs that pull.
How do anti-pull leashes work?
A "Y" front harness with a front and back connection point is ideal for use with a double ended leash, allowing you more physical control over your dog while you work on training.
Out of all of the dog equipment that I recommend, a well fitting, comfortable harness is the most important, and a "Y" harness with a front connection point is the best equipment for dogs that pull.
What about a no-pull harness?
Most no-pull harnesses work on the theory that restricting a dogs shoulder movement will restrict pulling. I can tell you from experience that they don't work, and in fact, can damage your dogs joints over the long term.
Think of it as trying to prevent someone from running by tying their shoelaces together...
There's no replacement for training, but here is equipment that can help you while you work on loose leash walking. All equipment that I've designed & tested!

Paracord Leash
My daily use leash comes in 4', 6', and 8' lengths, but I recommend the 8'.
Heavy Duty Waist Belt
You won't find another belt like this - with a buckle that has over 500lbs break strength. I've used mine twice a day for years walking and hiking my 85lb critter chaser - it's still going strong!
Adjustable Long Line
Adjustable leash in lengths of 10' or 15' is perfect for changing conditions, my husband and I use ours daily for hiking with our dog.
No-Pull Leash
Convert any harness with a front and back connection point to a no-pull harness.
