[nagdu] EXTERNAL:Re: harnesses

Wed Nov 10 21:27:31 UTC 2010

Hi Rebecca, the check is in the mail. *smiles*.  Actually it is exactly why 
we exist.  And not only are the handles easily detachable, the harnesses are 
very light weight and durable.  And, they are completely customizable to 
your needs.  Before I started making these harnesses I preferred leather, 
and I was skeptical about using a nylon harness.  The main reason I decided 
to try nylon was that my dog has problems with a soft trachea, and the 
leather was putting to much pressure on his throat and causing him to choke. 
The light weight nylon, and the padding have totally eliminated that issue, 
and his pull has improved drastically since I switched to nylon.
Also, nylon is much cheaper than leather, which allows me to keep my 
harnesses affordable.
Anyway, commercial over for now.  Best of luck to you in finding a harness 
which works for you and your furry friend.
