Make sure if you choose to go with a harness to train the dog not to pull on the leash that you use a harness specifically made for that. If you just purchase a regular dog body harness, it will actually allow the dog to throw his whole body weight into pulling. Harnesses, by nature, are designed to help a dog pull. This is why they are used for sled dogs, schutzhund, etc.
