Why it matters
The Harness Lead is a soft rope that forms both harness and lead. Movable stops align with the front legs so it fits any size or shape, and there are no hard edges or buckles to irritate skin. The maker says to use it only for walking, never to jerk or correct, and not to tie a dog out because it tightens; it is not chew-proof.
