Subject: [NAGDU] Harness for flying

Hey all,
Wondering if you can send me any links or contacts for a harness for flying.
The harness we use is the typical leather harness issued by the guide dog
school. Every time we go through TSA security it sets off the metal
detectors. Of course, this means a step to the side, pat down of the dog,
and then hand swabbing. I travel all the time through airports so. I would
like one that does not set off the metal detectors. That  doesn’t
necessarily mean a metal free harness, just one that is minimal in metal. I
think the ones from jewlie Johnson worked for this, but she’s no longer
making them. I have found one supplier of guide dog harnesses that has a
plastic handle that you can purchase separately  From the leather or nylon
harness, but the site looks a little sketchy,. I’d also like this harness to
double as an all weather/water play harness so nylon is best, or some other
material like that. I know our leather harnesses are heavy duty and great
for withstanding anything and everything, but they don’t dry out very
quickly when they’ve gotten wet, so I avoid him wearing it when, we’re gonna
be getting soaked. Also, would like a detachable handle, again for travel
purposes. Would love to just pop the handle off when colonel goes under the
seat. I’m really wanting to look at a couple of options before I just scrap
the search and , make one myself. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
and if you have other advice about getting through security without sounding
a national alarm that you could be a terrorist just because you have a guy
dog, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks,
Amanda Juetten
