Harnesses
Harnesses provide many benefits. We recommend them for all puppies and adult dogs. Most importantly, harnesses remove pressure from the dog's neck. This avoids potential damage to vital organs of the neck including the spinal cord, thyroid and trachea from pulling on the leash trachea. It also decreases the dog's arousal, thus improving their ability to think and learn. Harnesses are a great tool for teaching dogs to walk on a relaxed, loose leash. Please contact us for brands, colors and prices. Prices begin at $34.00 Leashes
Whether one lives in the city or the country, all dogs must be on leash at some point. We have a variety available that will work for the smallest dog to the largest. Some have comfy fleece handles. Others adjust in length. All have a clip on both ends that greatly aids the use of a harness/leash combination to teach a dog to walk in physical balance. We'll help you learn to use them too! . Please call to discuss what will work best and most comfortably for you and your dog.
