I like a bit of pull in the harness for the same reasons. also, it helps
with my balance if there's a little bit of a pull. A hard pull would be too
much, but I like to be able to feel that tug.

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
