Spiffy Dog and Snuggle Pet Harnesses

Many dogs pull and a harness takes pressure off of the dog’s neck as the connection of the dog’s harness is closer to the dog’s centre of gravity rather than having the dog only attached at the collar. Many dog trainers and competitors as well as pet owners use and recommend the use of harnesses.

Certain dogs are more receptive to being walked with a two-point contact.(the lead attached at one end to the collar and the other end to harness). This method, developed by Tellington TTouch in the USA is ideal for a dog that naturally pulls and eliminates any perceived need for equipment like choke chains or pinch collars. Spiffy Dog actively condemns the use of these so-called punitive methods of dog management and training.

“TTouch leading techniques improve propioception and balance and so can dramatically improve both posture and the behaviour of the dog. Teaching a dog to walk calmly on a leash using two-point contact - the handler having two distinct connections with the dog, usually with a double-ended leash - can have a miraculous and often instantaneous effect. There are many ways of using a two-point contact, so this leading technique can be easily tailored to suite the individual dog’s needs.”
