Padded Non-pull Harness - Recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend me a decent non-pull harness for my Shih Tzu? Must be padded though.

    I've got a Sporn at the moment which is OK as it's padded, but doesn't really stop the pulling. My dog's like a husky when he gets going!!

    He's also got an Easy Walk harness which is brilliant, but sadly it cuts into him, so we've had to stop using it.

    TIA

    The halti one has a bit of padding in it but have you done any training with the dog to teach it not to pull?

    Www.mollys.ie have it's called a no pull training package. http://www.mollys.ie/harness-and-lead-no-pull-training-package.html
    I swear by it! One of my girls got cut from sensible harness and premier easy walk harness and they were correctly fitted!
    I harness and lead combo in Molly's is expensive by it is so worth it I have one two years and it is still perfect! I have halti harness aswell but found it the front thing got loose and constantly sagged down!

    Yes. We've gone to obedience classes (both puppy and dog), done everything the trainer showed us to do, looked on the internet for tips, but he still bloody pulls! It's because my dog has the attention span of a flea! There's too much going on, so he thinks he has to charge ahead.

    So - after speaking to the trainer she recommended we get a non-pull harness.

    Is the Halti one a proper harness or a head collar? Just asking as the dog cannot have a head collar for obvious reasons...

    EDIT - Just looked on Amazon. Doesn't seem to have the padding though.

    Halti comes in harness and head collar varieties!
