[nagdu] question about chest pad

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Chantel.
I've never heard of a chest pad before, but I think I would put it on the
dog when I thought he needed it, like when we're going somewhere new.  I'd
put it on before we head out.
If it makes him uncomfortable pulling hard, would it make him
uncomfortable to lie on it?  Should you remove it, when you've reached
your destination?  I don't know, never having seen a chest pad.
Tracy
