Kevin ★★★★★

I had no idea a back-clip harness could encourage pulling until this guide explained the mechanics behind it so clearly. The sections on fitting a collar properly and picking leash length for different training stages were genuinely useful, not just padding.

I've been using the wrong harness style for years and had no idea it was causing my dog's shoulder issue. The section on fitting and using gear safely was the part that finally made it click for me.
