Sense-ation Dog Harness

Hi All,

Anyone use one of these harnesses?
Good for pulling etc? Any reviews welcome

I use a Sense-ible harness on Rufus, my Airedale Terrier. Seems to be the same as the Sense-ation after a quick google.

Rufus was a hoor for pulling and the harness sorted the job out brilliantly. It transformed walks form being a constant tug-o-war and frustrating into being enjoyable for both of us.

The odd time if I'm only tipping over the field to my parents house I throw on a regular lead and notice the difference straight away.

I'd say defo get the harness if you are having bother with your dog pulling on lead.

Bull.

We bought one for one of my guys and he quickly figured out how to walk without it turing him around - total failure after about 15 minutes into the walk and every walk there after.

We then got one of there babies ==> http://i.ebayimg.com/t/ASPCA-Anti-Pull-Mesh-Dog-Puppy-Harness-Stop-Pulling-Instantly-/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/$%28KGrHqVHJB8E-N1cQ,wsBPu9C6SH7Q~~60_35.JPG, it works by giving the dog the sensation that their legs are lifting up when they pull and it works reasonably well. We seem to have a brainiac of a dog (who cannot be lead trained - go figure!) because he did figure out how to pull a bit but it is much better compared to the Sense-ible. I got our one in the vets but have seen them for sale in MaxiZoo.

The best harnesses to stop pulling are head harnesses. Most dogs take a while to get used ot them so it will take a while to acutally get it working because you will have to do a lot of "5 minutes in the house, lots of treats" type of things but they give you the best control over your dog.

I used one before/while I trained my dog not to pull by teaching him some self control - using a clicker and treats. Yes it reduced how much he pulled but he had no self control so would still pull to see his friends. On the harness itself I found it sat a bit too low on my retriever and restricted him a bit especially if he'd been swimming the the front really hung down when his coat was soaked. They seem to fit shorter haired/thinner coated dogs better where they're a more snug fit - and possibly dogs with thicker coats but are land lovers and stay dry lol! Once they're adjusted they don't tend to loosen - I had the premier version and was constantly having to re-adjust it and it had me driven mad. Positive dog training do one which I can't remember the name of but from speaking to people who switched from the sens-ible/ation they found it fitted much better and was more comfortable for the dog because it has some padding - some of these owners are also trainers and now recommend this one over then sens. ones.
