BlueSky Pet Products No Pull Dog Harness

Dad

Okay, I bought this. You were there when I opened the box. What did you think?

Boldo

The box made a crinkle sound that got my hopes up. Then I smelled plastic and nylon, not treats. I stared at the floor. Dad said it was for walks. I thought about walks and decided to reserve judgment.

Dad

Let's talk about the smell. I know that's your main thing.

Boldo

First sniff was like a new car, but for dogs. Chemical and a little sharp. The cat walked over, sniffed once, and left. That is not a good sign. But after two days airing out, it just smelled like nylon. Neutral. I prefer bacon.

Dad

You've had some time with it now. Is it any good?

Boldo

Look, I hate being told what to do, but this harness actually makes the pulling less noticeable. I still pull when I see a squirrel, but Dad doesn’t yank my neck. That’s something. Also, the clip doesn’t dig into my armpit. I notice armpits.

Dad

I paid $25 for this. Be honest. Worth it?

Boldo

Twenty-five dollars? That could buy a lot of peanut-butter bones. But I guess if it keeps Dad from yelling at me on walks, it’s okay. I’d rather have the bones, but the harness is fine. Not great, but fine.

Dad

Final answer. Would you recommend this to other dogs?

Boldo

If you hate being choked by a collar, yes. If you like being the boss, no. I recommend it for dogs who want a quieter walk. But I’m not buying one for my friends.
