Dana0406 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Luca is almost 5 months old. He is a sweetie except for his biting. Cant seem to stop it.. Oh, and he has now decided that he doesn't like his harness. Literally takes us about 20 minutes to get him in it for a walk🙄🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelseafan Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hi, he’s very handsome, great name to [emoji1]One of mine started hating having his harness put on after having no problems for over a year, he’d start running off and ducking his head down as soon as I came towards him with the harness, I started by getting him to sit by me and stroking him and telling him what a good boy he is, then I’d put the harness over his head, giving him a treat and praise him. He didn’t like it going over his head, once it’s on he’s fine. If Luca doesn’t like it going over his head have a look on Indi-dog, there’s a harness that doesn’t go over the head, I buy all my leads, collars etc from there, great prices, washable and you can have custom made as well.Sent from my iPad using Husky Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Nope vile things, u just have to get him used to his harness lots of praise and fuss/treats to desensitize him to it , your going to seriously damage his neck and hurt him if u get a pinch collar on a puppy Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 totally dislike the things...good that they are banned here, should be everywhere but that is me... with lots of patience and praise you will be able to get a harness on maybe look at an easy one, at least I think a Julius K9 quick and easy to put on IMO...

Dana0406 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Ok, that's what I thought. I didn't want to get one, but, my husband is loosing his patience. We haven't been able to walk him for about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello and welcome to the pack! You are not too far from where I am at! I know that I am in the minority here, but I do use the pinch collars, however I learned how to use them from my dog trainer and mine have never been injured. I think the problem is that people will throw them on a dog and just expect it to just work, which is not the way to go. They know when it's on and will not pull. But I get why people would not like them. If I ever thought it was hurting them I would find another way. Anyway, I would talk to a dog trainer or maybe enroll in some obedience classes. I used PetSmart and was very happy with them, but I heard it depends on the store. I was lucky to have great trainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMANI & ALINAH Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Keep working with the harness you have. (Mine don't like their harnesses either.) But keep working with LUCA...it gets better.[emoji4] Pinch collars are a big safety hazard and cause more injuries. If you have a chain link fence, the collar can easily get caught on it causing puncture wounds around the dog's neck. If you're walking them & no matter how well your dog is trained, if they see a rabbit, they'll start to take off running by instinct and get injured from the pinch collar. (The prongs are designed to be like a dog's fang on purpose. To be honest, they should be called Puncture Collars.)Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
