[nagdu] Pull in the harness?

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Raven.
I like a bit of pull in the harness.  It makes it clearer to me when the dog 
is guiding me around something, or when he slows down for something, I 
think.  I also think a bit of pull helps me keep in the right position, not 
creeping up towards the dog's shoulders.
I don't want a dog who's pulling my arm off, but I do want to know he's 
there.
Tracy
