Yeah. There’s an assumption that all dogs respond to training the same way. Teaching a dog to walk to heel can take a long time and sometimes never works.
The thing that mystifies me about harnesses for walking is that the point of attachment for the lead is the enabling the dog to exert maximum force. It’s where sled dogs are hooked up.
If the dog needs to be discouraged from pulling a head collar is best, as the dog gets pulled of line as soon as it starts pulling. They’re especially good if the dog is prone to suddenly lunging at another dog or a cat.
I only uses harnesses when in the car to attach the dog to a seatbelt.

My friend you live in an ideal world. My mums old and her drathar, who's only just 2, is from hunting stock. When he sees something he likes he will sometimes try go, training or not. He's also run off once, and was found in the forest where its illegal for a hunting dog to be, he can be put down for it if he takes a animal down.
