Using a Harness

We use a harness to walk Madge, rather than attaching the leash to her collar. I know that a lot of big-deal dog trainers on TV like to hook to the collar, but that wouldn't work very well for Madge--partly because of her unusual proportions and low center of gravity, and partly because her neck is incredibly powerful. Besides, I just don't like the idea of yanking on Miss Moo's neck, as if she's Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes.



It is still possible to train a dog using a harness. Here's an excellent video from eHow with a few tips.
