[nagdu] On the Go guide harness

[Marion & Martin]

Sean,
    My wife and I, as well as a couple of our Florida people, use the nylon 
harnesses Julie makes. My harness has been used for more than two years and 
is holding up very well. My only input to Julie has been to file down the 
edge of the 90 degree connection that joins the sides of the handle to the 
grip, as it caused the nylon to fray and split. Otherwise, I haven't noticed 
any difference in the feel of the harness in my hand nor the information I 
receive from my dog. I like the quick release of the handle from the harness 
and the same release on the chest strap. We have a lot of rain in Florida 
during the summer, so the nylon harness is preferable to me.
    I also like the multiple lengths on the nylon leash. I have a 6-foot 
that is halved for guide work, quartered for hands-free walking with the 
leash around my waist, and a loop at the end for a long leash. HTH!

Fraternally,
Marion
