Meg has always been walked on a lead and collar and unless you remided her she was always be at the lead length and then some encouraging you along, and if excited could sometimes get herself breathless. LPS chap said try a harness, must admit I was very dubious putting a harness on a Husky X expecting her to pull like hell, but no. Got it this morning, had 2 walks so far and see goes to the lead length and doesn't pull at all, arm has been down rather than horizontal. Checked the harness wasn't tight or pinching anywhere but it fitting fine. Most suprised smile

She didn't react to her nemisis (next doors cat) like she usually does just now, although I may give her more lead if a grey squirrel crosses our path

LPS owner has them made up by a Husky racer friend, £10.99, bit of a bargain

Still working, took her through the village high street, used to try to pull me into the bakery & pet shops but she was good as gold this time (maybe there were out of sausage rolls at the bakers today)
