[nagdu] question about chest pad

[Chantel Cuddemi]

Ramona, 

Motley had to be trained not to pull me hard while I was there at Pilot. We
had to use the chest pad to do it. 

When we are walking in my neighborhood, Motley doesn't need the pad, but
when we're out somewhere like a stor,e he will pull me too hard. 

I told Pilot I needed a dog with a gentle pull due to back issues. 

Chantel and Motley

forgive my stupidity, but I was under the empression that a good
matched dog will not pull too hard constently. I thought all schools
matched dogs to spead and pull, am I wrong? not trying to basch any
school or team, just curious.
