[nagdu] Harness with Detachable Handle

Sat Nov 2 01:51:09 UTC 2013

Oh, thta's really interesting. I would love to see one of these harnesses and try it for myself. I really like the swiss style harness that GDB uses, but I know the old timer grads prefer the older style better.

Last I knew, the Seeing Eye, and possibly Fidelco, were the only schools that routinely issued harnesses with martingales, althoughSoutheastern did for their Aussies, being as they’re limber enough to squeeze out of their harnesses.

This provides some stability for the harness and, IMO, gives better feedback through the harness with more for the dog to pull into.
