[nagdu] Harnesses Re: Introduction

Sun May 9 23:22:28 UTC 2010

I use a red sports harness, and there does not seem to be a problem.
/smile/  I'm going to be adding at least one more -- in purple -- within the
next six months or so, to use for dress up, and would like to order one in
green or blue, too.  The harnesses are really great, durable, easy to clean,
and fairly light and cool.  Also, for an owner-trainer, they are actually
affordable, and you get great customer service.  I can have a collection of
Pawpower harnesses for what a single leather harness would cost.  And that
includes the whole kit -- the matching leash and collar, etc.  Pretty good
deal! /grin/

Are these colored harnesses working harnesses?  Does anyone on this list 
have one?  If so, is the public's perception of you and your dog any 
different?
