Question
My black lab mix can be a bit of handful on walks.  She pulls a little normally, but really goes after squirrels and rabbits.  I don't like choke chains, so I bought a Gentle Leader harness.  Unfortunately, she likes to walk in front.  So the harness doesn't ride right and the leash connection hits her on the front of her leg.  I am looking into other types of harnesses like the Sporn.  What do you recommend?

Thanks:)  

Answer
Hello, I can only reccomend the gental leaded head collar I use it on my lab before she was a pain to walk but the day I got the head collar I never went back to anything else ever again. If the conection for the lesh is whats hitting in her legs try using a shorter leash so that you can lift that part so it isnt hitting in her legs...I do this for my lab or if she walsk infront I just hold it around my hand once or twice(her leash) and it works fine.
