Aww thats quite ingenious

Quite a simple deivce and glad to see it worked out for the dog and the handler. I wonder if this will catch on and help more dogs?

Wow what a fantastic idea! And so easy

How simple and clever! Reminds me of sticking straws out my nose and ears. I'm sure when I'd had a few it helped with my decoram/balence and direction

Fascinating!

thats really cool!

amazing story !
