My bullmastiff looks like dog on package. Still pulls hard sometimes, not like before & cuts him a bit under his front leg - ideas?

I've had to adjust my harness several times. My dog was able to pull one of his front legs through the front of the harness until I figured out how to adjust it. I have it tighter on front with a little more give around the chest. My dog is still growing and I've noticed the chest strap getting snug so I'm going to adjust again. Play with the tightness of the straps and see if that helps. Hopefully the harness will work for you... I've just kept adjusting til I found what works!!!

It took me several adjustments to get it to fit right. Try letting out on the front adjustment and tightening the one that goes around the chest to see if that might move the straps back . That worked on mine . you could probably make some fleece pads if that doesnt work and than readjust . Remember that this halter isnt meant to be that total answer to pulling. They also still need training as well. It just throws them a bit off when they try to pull. Before our Poodle got the hang of the harness and training he sort of learned to walk sideways to make the harness not work the way it should lol!

Labs (including my own) are notorious for ingesting inappropriately large pieces of whatever they're chewing. I really have to watch him with any rawhide - a couple of times almost had to Heimlich him before he gagged it up. If your dog displays any signs of lethargy or distress eliminating, definitely get him to the vet to x-ray his stomach. Most of these products have warnings about the dangers of such incidents. Thanks for the heads-up though...my guy may need to live without them, even though it looks like something he'd enjoy!

I started as soon as he started pulling hard...about 5 months (a month ago). He still rubs on the grass when we first start, but he stands to have it put on, and once we get going he forgets about it...

I have been wondering about that myself, as the family English Bulldog tore part of it off, attempting to get at the food! Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? I think that is what I will do!

I have a 75 lb dog that looks a bit like a german shepherd. We live in an urban setting with everything from sidewalks to gravel. We use the booty to cover his bandaged paw and depending on how long he is out and how much he plays and chases the boots last between 1 and 3 outings before there are minor holes. I was looking at a Great Dane in the dog park today and comparing their feet size... I have a hard time picturing one of these fitting on a Great Dane but others have said they do.

My dog uses the bed regularly and tends to use his paws to settle in and dig at it a bit to get it "just right". It hasn't ripped yet several months in. Not sure how sharp your dog's nails are though, but I would guess your pretty safe.

I bought this and the lion. The lion is still in great shape. The elephant my dog did finally get a hole in and gutted it to get the squeeker ( that's what he really wants) after that he just plays with it throws it around tugs with a rott with it. And it still does look like a flat elephant. I love them! He is a strong chewer to. Like any toy after a good while they do finally come apart but I am gonna keep buying them as I need. I think its a great toy! I hope this helps. P.s my dog is a German shepherd so its got a lot of dog to with stand

My dog is a 5.5 pitbull when i was giving him bully max i did notice when he would walk up the steps his back and neck were more muscular. It gave him diarrhea so i stopped giving it to him. I recommend boiling chicken and giving him boiled chicken and raw egg mixed in his food. Dont dump the chicken broth feed him that too. Just try upping his protein intake and making sure hes getting daily exercise. Depending on how old he is it might just be how its going to be. Just like when we get old taking body building supplements isnt going to do much when your 90 lol. Good luck. Talk to your vet about options.

yes mine did the same thing the third time i went to go cut my toy poodles hair. the bars didnt change on mine it just would not cut the hair and when i went to try to cut it would make a louder noise. i was disappointed. my poodle was clean brushed and blow dried. she had no knots or anything.

Training, and paying close attention to his signals will help more. I think this collar could give you a little more leverage when he pulls, but watch his ears and the wrinkle between them. My Pit-lab mix (only 80#s) feels protective of me, and I find that catching her brow furrowing and using a quick sharp command is the best thing for keeping her in line. I'd check out one of Cesar's books from the library to see what he recommends as well.

HaHaHa! So funny. When I leash up Mowgli, he lays down. Period. End of story. I suppose I could drag him around, remembering to turn him over so he doesn't lose all the fur on one side. I'm still working on it...the solution will probably involve food, probably tuna. The harness product is ok fine...cat psychology is the problem. Good luck.

I hope not - I'm halfway thru and there's been no sign. The dog likes it, anyway, and if not totally turned off the coprophagy, he's at least no longer devoted to it. That could be the meat tenderizer I sprinkle on his food, as well, of course.t

I have a pointer (60 pounds) that is very playful, so she's always running around the house. I have yet to notice any tears or other indication that the dog is affecting the mat (after 2 months use). I do notice that the dog likes to sit on the mat instead of the floor - I guess even SHE notices how soft it is! :-)

No welt On mine. Had a little slack with my Fiskars and I just fashioned one with some old heavy felt I had laying around. It's stiff ol rawhide. I put a couple coats of neatsfoot oil on it and then a coat of mink oil. That put a little color in it and soften it up a little bit. Decent deal for the money.

Sounds to me like its a skin contact issue, If he is walking through the fence with no reaction, that would me my first guess. Check to make sure the collars are tight enough on his neck that he is receiving a correction. If he is a longer haired dog switch to the longer stainless steel posts, 9 out of 10 times it is an actual skin contact problem that is causing the issue, if you don't get anywhere with these steps please don't hesitate to call me during normal business hours, I would be more than happy to trouble shoot you over the phone 800-396-5517 we are closed for the Holiday, but will be back in on Tuesday.

I didn't notice any difference in the toy' s with different colors? And the one I bought is still in one piece although it has become his favorite toy! Mind you he is a LARGE DOG! A 15" rawhide can be gone in a day! Yet the 'Bunji' as we call it is still giving his teeth & gums pleasure!
