Harness and double ended lead
Hereâs a reminder of how to use the Red Dingo harness and Red Dingo double ended training lead.
The harness has a front attachment and a back attachment. The accompanying training lead has two clips.
The benefits of a front and back harness is that you remove the âsledge dogâ effect when just using the back clip, plus you have better control and training is more effective.
The Y-shape of the Red Dingo is more comfortable for the dog and is less restrictive on the joints.

Harness training & walking
Hands up, I admit, Iâm not a big user of harnesses, Iâm a lead and collar walker with all my multiple dogs.
However I understand there is a place for harnesses, but the right harness.
So whatâs the right harness?
Absolutely not those fabric handkerchief affairs with a clip on the back.
The right harness should have adjustable straps to fit neatly to the dogâs body. It shouldnât rub on the skin.
It shouldnât be too large that it pulls round the body.
Importantly the correct harness should have a FRONT AND BACK clip and used with a double ended lead.
This gives greater control, it does not turn the pup into a sled dog which one clip on the back can do, and the walker has more control over the front of the dog.
The video shows how a 10 month old, very bouncy standard sized teenage labradoodle being walked and trained to heel with the Red Dingo front&back clip harness and the multifunction lead.
Harnesses shouldnât replace training but be a tool to help you both.

Water Bottle
I always say, I sell what I use and recommend.
Here are my two dogs on this mornings walk using the Lick n Flow Water Bottle.
I have had this bottle now for a good 5-6years, and itâs been all over the U.K., on long drives with the dogs and used daily on summer walks.
To me itâs an essential bit of kit to own.
