[nagdu] leash and harness question

[Nicole B. Torcolini]

The GDB harness does not have a strap between the legs; I do not see the 
reasoning for this. It also has a handle that can be easily removed by 
pressing a button on each of the connectors.  The strap underneath is one of 
those buckles where one piece slides into the other and you take it apart by 
pressing the edges, like the buckle on some dog collars. My leash is 
similar, if not the same, as yours.

Hi Everyone,
I am always curious about dog equipment, and I was wondering what your 
leashes and harness look like. I want to have a leash made, and I was 
looking for ideas. The Seeing Eye leash is somewhere between 3/8 and 5/8 
wide and is 18 inches when it is folded for the short leash and 36 for the 
long leash; if my description is wrong, please correct me. I've heard other 
school's leashes are wider and longer? The harness has a martingale strap 
that goes between the legs, and the strap clips like a belt buckle on the 
right side of the dog. The harness handle has some play because it is 
connected by quick links that are hard to open unless you have a wrench or 
some other tool.

Thanks,
Martha
