    I don't mind at all Jen :) it is true - the head harness is a tool for me and I don't care if I always need to use it because I have to be careful with my back/neck. I would rather use a tool and have a dog who walks nicely than continue the way I was having Harley pulling and be in pain all the time. I tried so many techniques and persevered, but couldn't go on any longer as my injuries were getting worse.

    I agree Naya. There are lots of reasons why people might use head collars, harnesses etc not just as a quick fix because they can't be bothered to train their dog to walk correctly on a collar.

    It will be a very long time and close to a miracle for me to walk my dogs without a head collar. I'd rather not but it's the safest option for all which is the important thing. ;D
