Leash and Harness Setup Notes

Gear does not train the dog, but bad gear can definitely sabotage the session. Fit, freedom, and handler mechanics all matter.

What matters most

  • Check fit before you blame stubbornness.
  • Pick routes that match the current setup.
  • Keep the dog’s movement clean and unpinched.

Working sequence

  1. Review strap fit during motion, not only at rest.
  2. Match leash length to route demands.
  3. Improve handler timing before swapping gear repeatedly.
