Hill walking with the dogs yesterday and Zuri refused to cross a ford.....Merlin was desperate to chase every Arctic Hare we found (the dogs were kept on leads) and Loki....well she pulls (as do the other two)

My question is....Can anybody recommend a harness/halti/....... that will let me lift a wet dog across stream AND give me a little more control when said dog is dancing at the end of his/her lead? (I am also going to sort out some sort of one-to-one training, hopefully that will help)

Thanks

We've used this -

harness

excellent for lifting dogs and good for attaching long leads to - very robust but not cheap!

Hi there

EUROHIKE make an almost identical one which is much cheaper (we have two) - and that lifting handle is sooooo handy

We got ours from ebay for about a tenner each - size Medium to fit springee's

I've seen both the eurohike and the ruffwear ones and they are virtually identical.

Titchy has a ruffwear one and that handle is fantastic for lifting mid weight springies out of and over river banks

You would not believe the predicaments we have been in and then had to play 'pass the springer'

Ruffwear Webmaster harness tried and -*test*-('")ed in Lakes in October - superb.

Very comfy for dog too. Rosie climbed Great Gable in it - handle very useful for lifting her up some of the bigger rocks !!! I feel she is safer when she wears it. Matching extra strong long lead also available. Try Canine Spirit website.

Good luck with your hill walking.

Thanks for this guys
