    We have a 100 lb 6 year old female yellow lab and she never took much to training so she is very hard to control. When we have to take her to the vet, it's almost impossible to get her there without losing her. She can get out of almost any type of collar or harness and some of the harnesses are so hard to put on, she is too impatient to stand still.

    My question is: Does anybody here know of a harness or some type of restraint we could get for transporting her that is easy to put on and is escape proof? (or almost)

    How do you keep her safe normally , on everyday walks ? Maybe it's a case of introducing some regular postive trips to the vet to change her view she wants to escape. Am sure your vet nurses could support this ?

    We live on a large property and have 2 other smaller and better trained labs. We have an invisible fence and a remote collar on all of them. She is a real Houdini with collars and so far 2 different harnesses we have tried. It's like maybe she needs something more for a horse. Seriously, she's that bad. Just wanted some ideas. I'll probably go looking around the net and see what's good for a monster (very naughty) lab!

    BTW we always get help when we get there and she almost gets away from them! Thank you for your reply.

    The Julius K9 works for us. I like the fact it has a handle on the back too. Not keen on the huge name on the side.
