I’ve seen a couple of people around my neighborhood walking their dogs on two leashes. One is attached at the collar or harness, and the other goes under the front leg. This seems to give the owner more control. I have a huge dog that pulls a lot, and walking her is really a chore. I asked one of the owners where they got it, but they said they didn’t know and had used it “forever.” They did say it helped prevent pulling and worked well. I am wondering if anyone has tried this method and if you can give me some advice on it. I’d love to find that product so I can try it with my pulling pup.

Hey there, Jessica! Standard leashes attach to a collar or harness. When you talk about a leash attaching to the front, it is normally the case that the leash is still a standard one, but this is a different type of harness. Some harnesses even offer both a back and front attachment ring.

You are correct that many trainers claim that a front attachment can work better for dogs that pull. The most popular anti-pull harness is the Easy Walk Harness, which uses a front attachment ring. We have used this product and found it can work well for some dogs. You can learn more about this option in our Easy Walk Review (which includes a review of the Gentle Leader, which may also be a good option to consider).

Let us know what you decide and how it works!
