I used a no pull harness on Shai for over a year, until she chewed it on a car ride to granma and grandpa's house, It was wonderful, she walked to nicely with it on. Before she practically had me airborne! She would get so excited when I would get it out she would jump around in circles!!
Now I use the gentle leader, which Shai tolerates, but towards the end of out walk she gets really affectionate, by rubbing her face against my leg, to get it off!! She does get excited when she sees it b/c she knows she is going for a walk!
