There is just something about beagles and their need to tug on the leash. I have never figured it out. Belle does the same thing, and the harness defintiely helps.
Best of luck to KOTA!

We are getting ready to get one of the harnesses also for our dog. It fits nicely over the back and shoulders and keeps the dog from 'lunging' or dragging on the leash. At least that is how I understand it to be.

Oh wow wish I could see Kota..wish him luck for me..He's gonna do great. Can't help much with the collar, I don't have a dog anymore..

Good luck to Kota!
That's awesome he's involved in tae kwan do -- great way to build his self confidence.

Good luck Kota.
wooooooohooooooooooo

Well, I will tell you what Camille did to me this week. I walked them both by myself thinking that it was no big deal since I had done that before. Welllllll, she had other plans mind you. She has been a real ring-tail tooter this week. She is not happy that her Daddy has been gone so much since she is a Daddy's girl. She came out of her harness while we were walking and was running back to the house. I'm trying to get her to stop and running after and pulling Sprocket along. She finally stops in the middle of the street sits down and pees on her tail. OMG!!! I call Nathan as I always carry my cell with me when I walk and luckily he was at home. He came down and walked her back to the house. She didn't like the idea of having to share me with Sprocket. This week she has gotten into the bathroom trash and tore up pieces of TP. She took something of ummm a feminie product and tucked it into the couch cushions. Oh me I will be glad when Scott is home to stay instead of just on the weekends.

Congrats to Kota!! Can't wait to see the pics.

yeah, I like the halti's - they work for the most part! I think they are better than the gentle leaders because they come with an additional clip that goes on the collar in case the dog slips out of the halti, which can and does happen!!!
There are also no pull harnesses which worked on Kraymer. www.jbpet.com (or https://www.jbpet.com/harnesses.html) are good places to go for cheaper dog stuff...
YAY KOTA! Keep us posted!!!
and awesome on your weight loss... CONGRATS!

We want ALL the details and pictures on today's class!!!

Instead of a harness, consider a Gentle leader. I chose that page at random so that you can read about it. There are many places that sell them. I have one for each of the boyz, and they walk like gentlemen, with no pressure on the leash. These things are wonderful! I bought mine at the Shelter, for less than this web page sells them for, and part of the proceeds went to the shelter, so it was the best possible deal!

I'm so excited for Kota!

Try to get a leather one.
