Choosing a Dog Harness - Best Ones and How to Use

You in the market for a harness? Well stick with me and I'll give you the lowdown on what to get, why, and how to use it best. Ian here with Simpawtico Dog Training and before we jump into the ins and outs of harnesses, please make sure you're subscribed so you never miss any of our videos. Also don't miss my specific recommendations for which harnesses to buy at the end of the video. Although dog collars have been around since ancient Egypt we are not really sure who the first person to harness a dog was. In Canadian Thule sites from around 1000 A.D. there's archaeological evidence of dog harnessing. There are historical records in Arabian literature of the 10th century regarding the use of sled dogs in the subarctic. And in the 13th century Marco Polo wrote about seeing dog sleds in the steppes of Siberia. Even the Chinese wrote about dog sleds in examples of their 14th century poetry. At any rate harnesses have gone through roughly three birthing periods: the first was when we harnessed dogs to sleds. At this point dogs were working animals, not companions. The sleds allowed us to traverse ice, snow and even muddy conditions that precluded horses or carriages. The second was when we developed smaller breeds and dogs started moving into companion territory. Dogs were being bred to hang out rather than work and harnesses allowed us to pull them to safety without breaking their necks. The third of course is the modern age where harnesses of many, many types are available at most pet stores and dogs run the full gamut for everything from working animals to companions. Nowadays there are so many configurations and intended purposes you got to go in knowing what you need. That's what this video is all about. Today there are essentially two main categories of harnesses: body harnesses and front hook harnesses. Each one serves different overall purposes. Let's first talk about the main reason people get harnesses in the first place: because their dogs pull. Now, you've probably been told you need a harness at some point by a well-meaning pet store employee or friendly neighbor. However putting a body harness on your dog will just make pulling worse. You've got to come at the problem from a different angle–literally. When your dog's wearing a body harness and they start forging ahead, it's natural for us to hold them back, even to try to pull them back. Since harnesses were originally invented to attach dogs to dog sleds, then by design a harness redistributes pressure onto the dog's frame. In essence this makes it more comfortable pull. Thus, the problem just becomes a test of strength and reduces it to oppositional forces. With the dog's lower center of gravity and powerful back legs you're going to have a struggle no matter what kind of dog you have. Let's do this smarter. Let's not try to muscle the dog into compliance. Instead of oppositional energy it's much easier to convert it to rotational energy. This is the principle behind the front hook harness. If the dog pulls the harness starts to turn their body around and the dog won't go in a direction they are not facing. Bottom line: a front hook harness is the best choice for a dog that pulls, not a body harness. As with any training tool though the ultimate goal is to use it as a weigh station and phase out of the tool over time. A well-mannered, nonreactive dog that walks nicely unleash could then go back to a flat collar or body harness. Likewise, there are definitely instances when a front hook harness is an inappropriate choice and a body harness is better. The two most prevalent examples for the modern pet owner are if you tie your dog out or when you're traveling in a car. A body harness is far superior in these instances over a front hook harness or even a collar. A back hook body harness is also better if you engage in athletic activities with your dog such as jogging, agility, frisbee or fetch, or dock driving. A front hook harness can somewhat impede the full range of motion in the shoulders. Also if your dog is well-trained and walks politely, using a body harness is really a non-issue anyways. I in some cases, especially if you live in hilly areas, you may want to train your dog to pull. Any dog trainer worth their salt knows that putting an annoying behavior on cue builds an off switch for it. Training your dog to pull when you want can help cease pulling at other times. A body harness is best in this regard. So let's break this down a bit: the pros of a front harness are that it's the best option for helping train a dog to stop pulling; it's easier to put on and remove (most of the best brands are lickety-split on and off). On the other side though they can be chewed up if they're left on so they're not recommended to be worn all of the time, and they're not recommended for tying out, riding in the car, or for athletic activities. The pros of a back hook or body harness are that they can be worn all the time. They are appropriate for tying out or for securing in a car; they're better for athletic activities with your dog, and they're good secure safety for smaller dogs, perhaps even the best choice for toy breeds. On the downside though they're not recommended for a dog that pulls, and they can be a pain to get on and off. Now there are also many body harnesses and they're labeled "no pull." These use interesting configurations of cords and straps to put pressure on different places on the dog's body. I've given many of these a series of test runs over the years and they're all pretty hit-and-miss in that regard. Plus they can be overpriced and complicated to get on. As I've said many times before i'm an adherent of the KISS principle: keep it simple, stupid. I don't like having to maneuver a dog around a lot just to get this stupid thing on. I don't want to have to mess with that. I want the harness to go on and off lightning fast. So for example the Sporn no pull harness: it's about 50/50 effectiveness. And for massive dogs it's pretty useless. There's also the Freedom No Pull harness. It's not bad but their system like many others relies too heavily on the hardware. Two leashes? that's absurd and gimmicky. Keep it simple, stupid. Leverage is the key, along with solid training techniques. Any company that promises to do the job for you is lying. Here are my harness recommendations. As far as front hook harnesses go the Softtouch SENSE-ation is my favorite it's durable simple and effective. The Petsafe Easy Walk is my second choice. It's also a pretty darn good harness. For body harnesses the Kong Comfort Control Grip is my favorite overall. The handle allows the dog to be restrained, lifted and even secured in a car without any additional equipment. Both the Four Paws Comfort Control harness and the simply wag dog body harness for little guys have breathable mesh that offer support and less chaffing. These may be your best choice overall for small and/or portly dogs. There are also some nifty hybrids out there that offer dual connection points for the best of both worlds. For example the Ruffwear Front Range harness is durable and well-made and features dual connection points on the back and the front. It's suitable for walking training and riding in the car. This is one of the highest rated hybrids on the market right now incidentally. There's also the Kurgo Go-Tech Adventure harness. Reviews are fifty-fifty on the overall durability though so use your discretion if you have a strong dog. Links to all of these harnesses are in the description. So good luck choosing a harness if you need one. Here's a question: what's been your experience with harnesses and what harnesses do you recommend? Let's connect in the comments. Don't forget to thumbs up this video if it helped you out and as always keep learning keep, practicing and i'll see you soon. Thanks for watching!

The BEST ECollar for Your DOG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyzioprjgJM&pp=ygUbZG9nIHRyYWluaW5nIGNvbGxhciByZXZpZXdz

My favorite e-collar in the world and the very very best e-collar i've ever tried is the martin systems chameleon, 3b and micro b collar. Let me tell you why. First of all, the extender moves the prongs out to the side of your dog's neck. So there's no risk of arcing because you're getting a much better connection with any standard e-collar. When you only have two connections trying to connect to one point in the dog's neck, you have issues where it may not be connecting and you have to cinch the collar. Very very tight, which is uncomfortable for your dog. The martin chameleon has solved that problem really quickly and really really simply another great feature contact measurement. That means, when i turn this collar on you're, going to see a series of lights flashing. What those lights are telling me right now is: i have no contact on the dog's skin or on any skin. So if i were to just touch here, you can see, even though i'm touching two prongs, i'm not getting a solid connection, because i'm touching two reds. If i touch two blacks same thing, but if i touch a red and a black, i've got solid connection, take it off again: red and red red and black i've got a connection. The most important thing for your dog is that the collar connects to the skin. So that the contacts are solid onto the skin, therefore, taking away the risk of arcing the collar arcing, the collar means the contacts are not connecting to the skin and the electricity is jumping from the contact to the skin. The feature of this collar can be completely dialed in via an app doggify which allows you to modify every single one of the settings in this caller, including the amount of stimulation at each level means you can take a number one, two, three and four and set Them to any different stimulation, you want very, very low settings very moderate settings very, very high settings easy to adjust simple to use. Both of these colors are extremely lightweight the lightest weight colors i have ever seen, and that's one of the things i always look for in a collar. I want it to be lightweight which makes it almost transparent to the dog, along with the standard options that most collars have, which are momentary, stimulation, consistent stimulation tone and vibrate. Some collars have a ramp setting. Now these collars have a ramp setting, but they also have the ability to turn off all stimulation settings in the collar. If you were to travel to a territory where e-collars or simulation collars are not allowed, the collar can be used simply as a tone and vibrate collar in any territory that doesn't allow a stimulation collar. When you return back to where you live and you're allowed to use the stimulation, there simply get back into your dogfight app reinstitute the settings to be able to use stimulation and you're back in business. Both the collars function with either of the remote controls from martin systems, the pt 3000, which you can see this one, is very, very old. I'Ve had it for at least 10 years still works perfectly or the brand new one. They just sent me a couple weeks ago. The k9, which is an amazing and beautiful unit to use, has an amazing color lcd screen very, very durable. The antenna is solid, not going to break off. This remote also allows your collar to function in another way and that is in a decreasing ramp. So you have an increasing ramp where you can go from any number say three, four, five, six seven! This one allows you to reverse that to go from seven six. Five four three, an amazing feature either. One of these is great. You can use this remote with up to four different colors, this one you could use with two different colors, so you could put one collar on this side and another on this side. So, as you see, there's a little blue nail polish on this side, yellow nail polish on this side. That means this side here is goofy's collar. This side here is maya's collar and i'll, always know where i am correcting and where i'm stimulating and i saved the best feature for last. This is the feature i've loved since i used my first martin collar over 10 years ago, and that is this little thing right here. That is a finger. Kick the most amazing revolution. I have ever seen in dog training this little button. I can program to any button on my remote now. That being said, i have to confess to you that i have a whole bunch of finger kicks that. I have programmed to every single button on my remote control, which means the remote control goes into my pocket. I work my dog with a single button. Look how small that is! Look how ergonomic it is. It'S so easy to use a couple great features about that. I can still use, treats and feed the dog. I can still use toys and play with a dog. I can still praise my dog, my hand is not consumed by holding the remote control for the dog. My hand is now free to do my training, my interaction with my dog and it's exactly the picture. I want my dog to see nothing in my hands. Nothing to affect our relationship, it's a game changer when it comes to training. Your dog i've put a link in the description down below where you can order complete kit with the remote the collar and the finger kick as well as individual products, i'll list them all down below. You won't be sorry. It'S worth. Every penny you'll spend you

  The coolest dog collar we have found so far. The collar is similar to a fashionable belt with nice colors and patterns. It has a steel buckle just like any of your belts with holes to adjust the size of the collar. Instead of a normal D ring for attaching the leash, the collar has a bottle opener which serves as the attachment point of the leash and a key for opening bottles. The top feature of this product is that it is the best waterproof dog collar. It allows your dog to swim and play in the water with the collar around his neck without worrying it will absorb water and annoys him when he is out. This waterproof material is odorless, and it doesn’t get moist creating a good environment for bacteria, so it is a practical one. When you are back from playtime with your dog in the garden, you can easily wash the collar under running water or wipe it with a moisture piece of cloth. The collar has 3 sizes and many color options. All come with an average price of 15$. You can get a leash with the same pattern too.  

If It Barks Martingale Collar

Source:  Amazon.com.au

  A nice safe alternative for choke collars if you believe choke and prong collars are too cruel for your dog. Martingale collars are ordinary collars but part of the collar is a second small loop with the D ring attached to it for connecting the leash. This dog collar is suitable for dog training and outside walks because when you pull on the leash, the smaller loop tightens but till a certain fit, supposedly the size of your dog’s neck, so it won’t choke or harm your dog. And that is why you should buy the right size of this collar Since it is a dog training collar, the material is a durable washable material, and the D ring and tri-glide are also of good material. So, in terms of quality, this dog collar is the one. Regarding colors, you have about 10 different color combinations to choose from, you can also choose a collar with a plastic buckle or without. Maybe the drawbacks of this dog collar are that it is wide so it won’t be suitable for any dog, and its price compared with other dog collars is high, it costs around 32$.  

EzyDog Neo Classic Wide Dog Collar

  EzyDog Neo Classic dog collar is definitely one of the best dog collars for large dogs. The features of this collar are too many, the most important things a dog owner is looking for in his dog’s collar are probably a good material, a nice design and comfort wearing. All of these features are in this collar. The material is good and withstanding, it is made of polyester with padded soft material from inside all around the collar, and even the buckle won’t touch your dog’s skin. It is waterproof but not odor-resistant although it doesn’t retain much odor. It has reflective thread stitched to the collar, so it serves well at night. There is a separate ID tag ring and the usual leash ring, both are made from good metal. The adjustment system for this dog collar is a little bit different, it has a Velcro sizing snap, so you fit the collar to your dog’s neck once, and you can easily get it off and on with the normal plastic buckle. Available in four sizes and four colors with a price of 32$, this collar is a perfect choice for everyday use but not for small puppies.

Seresto flea and tick collar

Source:  Amazon.com.au

  Fleas and ticks are a nightmare for dogs and their owners. How about a flea collar that can help you get rid of fleas and ticks? The collar is not a permanent one, it has medical ingredients within and it will produce these ingredients over a period of 8 months. These ingredients will kill the fleas and ticks and prevent them from reaching your dog’s body all along this period. Not to mention that the ingredients it produces are odorless, so the whole process won’t be annoying for your dog. So the dog protection collar is for the treatment of fleas and ticks and at the same time prevents them. If you want year-round protection you have to buy this collar every 8 months. The best thing about this dog collar, besides of course being a kind of relief to fleas and ticks, is the ability to put on this collar along with any other customized dog collar for style. Seresto dog collar has two sizes for over and under 18 lbs. dogs, both are 46$. This dog collar is of higher prices than normal ones, but with the treatment feature, you may want to consider it.  

Final thoughts on Top 8 dog collars

You may think you need to buy more than one collar for your dog, it will be a good idea if your budget allows for that.

For normal uses, Soft Touch dog collar is from the perfect qualities you can get, and for cheaper options, LupinePet is a good idea.

Consider the size of the collar, most of the Top 10 dog collars are adjustable but even with the range of adjustability, collars mustn’t be too tight or too loose. Your dog’s neck must fall in between the widest and narrowest adjustability range of the collar. Having unique dog collars and leashes is nice, but before taking the buying decision, put your dog’s comfort in mind too. Think if your dog has any problems with any kind of collar materials because, at the end, the collar will rest around his neck

Keep your dog safe when you are driving

One of our roles as a Pet owner specifically dogs is to ensure that they are safe at all times, whether that be around the =home , out walking or more often in the car on the way to somewhere to walk, exercise or simply out for a drive.

It is important to tether a dog in the back seat of a car for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it is important for the safety of the dog and the driver. A dog that is not properly restrained can become a distraction to the driver, which can lead to an accident.

Additionally, if the car were to be involved in an accident, an unrestrained dog can become a projectile, potentially causing serious injury to the driver, passengers, and the dog. Tethering a dog in the back seat also helps to keep the dog calm and secure during the car ride.

Dogs that are not properly restrained can become anxious and agitated, which can lead to barking, whining, and other disruptive behaviors. This can be distracting to the driver and can also be a source of stress for the dog. Tethering a dog in the back seat also helps to keep the car clean.

Dogs that are not restrained can roam freely throughout the car, which can lead to dirt, mud, and other messes. This can be difficult to clean up and can also be a source of unpleasant odors. Finally, tethering a dog in the back seat helps to keep the dog from jumping out of the car.

Dogs that are not properly restrained can easily jump out of an open window or door, which can lead to them getting lost or injured. In conclusion, it is important to tether a dog in the back seat of a car for the safety of the driver, the passengers, and the dog.

It also helps to keep the dog calm and secure during the car ride, helps to keep the car clean, and helps to prevent the dog from jumping out of the car.

Over time owners of the dogs we have should be looking to provide both a cover for the car seats, lets face it they are part of a damn expensive car and getting them scraped and torn is not part of the deal. So while we have provided a tether to keep the dog secure it may also pay to provide a car carpet or cover to add to the safety of the dog in the back seat. One of the methods we use is to provide a car seat cover

We understand that there are many alternatives and we have a few in the Puppies Online Shop that may be of benefit , failing that simply click on one of the products listed and look through the total lists at Amazon.

What is the Harsh Truth About Very Good Dogs

Harsh Truth About Very Good Dogs

 

Don’t worry, though. They’re still good dogs.

    

.. You know how your heart melts whenever a pup raises its eyebrows? That’s no accident. While research on non-human animals has long suggested that facial expressions are involuntary, it turns out dogs may be different, and like humans, able to control their facial expressions to get what they want. Are you really surprised? 

 In a 2017 study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers tested whether dogs illustrated the “audience effect.” They found that dogs reacted with more noticeable facial expressions when humans were around than when there were no humans around, suggesting that dogs use facial expressions to voluntarily communicate.   

A team of researchers at the University of Portsmouth Dog Cognition Centre devised an experiment to investigate whether dogs’ facial expressions are subject to audience effects, which simply means that they wanted to see whether dogs made different faces when they thought they weren’t being watched. 

This would suggest that they’re voluntarily controlling their facial expressions, changing what we know about animal behavior. The alternative, that dogs are simply making involuntary faces that express their excitement, sadness, or anger, has been the standard view. 

To test these two possible explanations, researchers presented dogs with four different conditions:

• paying attention to the dog while giving it food

• paying attention to the dog but not giving it food

• giving the dog food but not paying attention

• not paying attention or giving food

Food is stimulating for dogs — as most of us know — so the researchers wanted to tell whether dogs’ reactions to food changed depending on a person’s attentiveness. 

This would test whether the dogs behaved differently with a person paying attention to them, and if they did, it would suggest that the differences in facial expressions are voluntary. 

If dogs make faces involuntarily, they’d be expected to make the same faces when they get food alone or around people. But as you may have guessed by now, that’s not how it played out.

The authors found two main things:

“First, human attentional state affected the production of dogs’ facial expressions,” they write. “Dogs produced significantly more facial expressions when the human was oriented towards them, than when the human had her back turned to the dog.” 

Second, and almost more interestingly, they found that the visibility of food did not affect the dogs’ behaviors. “So, while dogs produce more facial expressions when the human is oriented towards them and in a position to communicate, the visibility of non-social but arousing stimulus (the food) did not alter their facial movements in the same way,” write the study’s authors.

Is your dog manipulating you?

It’s impossible to say if your dog is messing with your head, but this study suggests it. And it definitely provides evidence that the faces your dog makes are less about the food you have in your hand and more about getting you to do what it wants. 

“Our study highlights that a non-social stimulus which has been proven to be arousing for dogs, does not have any effect on the production of their facial expressions,” write the authors. Your dog may love you, but it’s also probably manipulating you. 

Let’s be real, though: You knew it in your heart all along. Written By Peter Hess in Pocket
