Dr. Hannah Caldwell, DVM with the Furtect harness, before and after

Lorraine was 61 when she walked into my clinic last spring with her Labrador Moose and a sore shoulder. Moose is 85 lbs of pure love with people, and a freight train on the leash. She had spent three nights reading about anti-pull harnesses, and she had narrowed it down to one. The Furtect™ Anti-Pull Harness. She wanted to buy it. She also did not believe it could possibly work.

She sat across from me with Moose at her feet and said she had seven questions. If I could answer all seven, she would order one before she left the parking lot.

Below are the seven questions Lorraine asked me. They are also the seven questions I now hear from almost every client in the same position. If you have been reading about the Furtect™ Anti-Pull Harness and something has held you back, your version of one of these is probably in there.

Reason 1. Does it actually stop the pulling?

Does it actually stop the pulling?

It does, and not through force. The front clip works with your dog's natural opposition reflex. When he surges forward, he is gently guided to the side instead of gaining ground. No counter-pulling, no contest of strength. Most dog owners feel the difference within the first few steps.

Reason 2. What is all that pulling doing to his throat?

What is all that pulling doing to his throat?

Nothing good. You know the sound: your dog pulls, the old harness presses, he wheezes. I have listened to that sound through a stethoscope for 18 years. With Furtect™, it is gone. The pressure spreads across the chest and shoulders, away from the sensitive throat. Your dog breathes freely. You walk without the guilt.

Reason 3. Will it chafe under his armpits?

Will it chafe under his armpits?

It will not. Other harnesses chafe, especially under the armpits. After long walks: red skin and raw spots. The Furtect™ harness is different. Breathable mesh, wide padding, no rubbing. Even after hours.

Reason 4. Will it even fit a dog like mine?

Will it even fit a dog like mine?

Moose is broad in the chest with narrow shoulders, so I understood the question. Not a problem. Four adjustment points shape the harness to any body, from Dachshund to Great Dane. No sliding, no twisting. It sits exactly where it should.

Reason 5. Can he slip out of it?

Can he slip out of it?

Every dog owner's biggest fear: he spots a squirrel, lunges, twists, and slips out. Not with Furtect™. Double security and a clever construction keep your dog inside. Even in a panic. Even during dog encounters.

Reason 6. Who actually developed it?

Who actually developed it?

Real veterinarians. Real dog trainers. Over 20 years of experience. They know what works and what hurts a dog. That knowledge is built into every detail of the Furtect™ Anti-Pull Harness.

Reason 7. What do other owners say?

What do other owners say?

Thousands of dog owners have traded their old harness for Furtect™. They all report the same thing: calmer walks, happier dogs, and no going back. Now it's your turn.

Lorraine left my clinic that afternoon with her seven answers.

She ordered the harness for Moose from the parking lot, just like she said she would.

Three months later she was back for Moose's checkup. The leash stayed loose the whole way from the car to my door. Her shoulder was fine. Moose walked in relaxed, sniffed my scale, and sat down like he had never dragged anyone anywhere.

We have a small mix and a Beagle. On the leash it felt like we had sled dogs. We tried everything until we found this harness. Walks have never been this relaxed. Highly recommended.

The harness fits perfectly, looks great, and, what a surprise, she finally stops pulling. It worked from the very first walk.

Our 90 lbs shepherd mix used to yank my shoulder out on every walk. With this harness he turns and settles instead. My physical therapist noticed before I even told her.

Bought one for our rescue greyhound who panics around traffic. She has never slipped out of it, and the front ring stops the lunging without any choking. Wish I had found it years ago.

I am 63 and was starting to skip walks because my lab is stronger than me. Not anymore. The first walk already felt different, and by the end of the week the leash stayed loose.

Second year with ours and it still looks new. Machine washed it plenty of times. Our vet saw it and said the front clip design is exactly what she recommends.
