Figure of 8 easy leader training
Hi looking for some tips on getting Harley used to wearing his figure of 8 head harness. He has it on for about 10 seconds and I give him treats then paws it off any advice would be appreciated.

Luckily Vin got used to his straight away, I think its just a matter of distraction just keep walking with it on him and make it fun perhaps a fave toy while your out to capture his attention, Do stick with it though as they are good, also train the heal command also xx

I must say I bought one for Katy as she pulls so much & was told it would stop her They were right, she just layed down & wouldn't move other than to try & get it off I'm sure if you keep trying he will get used to it, Katy just hates things round her muzzle

Re: Figure of 8 easy leader training
Thank you for all the advice, and Inez thank you so much for the figre of 8 idea. Harley walks like a dream now. No pulling at all and better control around people. One question im using it with harness and double ended lead. What do you suggest?
