davidjk Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 huskies pull, its in their nature to pull, they have been bred for it, but there are times when it is akward, and you would like to have some control, some people use haltis, we tried it, the first one saskia destroyed in the shop (luckily we didnt have to pay for it) the second one lasted for a week. then we saw someone with a 42kg mastiff , using a lupi control harness, we asked to try it on, and wow what a difference it made. saskia walks lovely and even when she pulls full pelt (when she sees a cat) she is more than controllable. in fact we got two of them, one for micha also, but we met someone down the park with another mastif that just pulls and pulls so we gave them michas one (wich she never used), and she is singing its praises. now we will have to see if we will get it back. also met a staffy owner down the park, the staffy pulls untill it chokes its self, he tried it on, it was a bit large for the staffy, but the owner is going to buy one. the box says it works by converting forward motion into upward motion. the website is http://www.companyofanimals.co.uk/lupi.php the bonus of this, is it does not rub, and the dogs cant choke themselves, and they dont mind putting it on because it slips over the head, and you lift the legs in, saskia used to fight when we tried to put on her lupi. even my 10 year old daughter can walk saskia now here is a quick vid i put together [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA39yqkBiKk[/ame] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeiperSky7 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 David, Excellent review - I have heard of Lupis and seen a video of them in action,but you can't get a better recommendation than that of a fellow Husky Owner I use Hurrta harnesses with Peiper & Sky,they hold up pretty well to most uses,I found yesterday that Sky has managed to reshape her attachement ring from round to oval :eek: so we may need to buy very soon...

QUOTE] this doesnt use rings instead it has forged metal atachments, so no ovaling of rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 If I was to buy the Lupi I would have to make padding for it. The pic looks like it would rub a lot under the legs. I've triend Halti's stop pull harness but the adjustment bits are plastic and both harnesses snapped after only a handful of uses. Now if someone would sell one that is padded and uses metal adjustments I would definately give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
