[Dozer-Digger]

Today I bought new leashes and harness' for the boys. When I took them on walks before, they would pull so hard on their collars, that they would gag & choke themselves. (chasing rabbits) My concern was that I might not be able to hold them back if they were in a harness. Today they were easy to control, but of coarse we didn't see any rabbits.
We'll see how it goes when they do their "power" pull. (or what I call their squat down and drag me)

First time they ever had them on, and Dozer acted like I put it on him all the time. He just stood there while I adjusted the straps. Digger wasn't bad, but I had to call him back a few times before I got it on him.

I also went from 16 foot retractable leashes to 24 foot. They can now run ahead and sniff stuff, while I catch up to them. :lol:

Here they are getting a drink after our short & hot mid-afternoon walk. We usually go for sunday morning walks when it's cooler. (we'll see tomorrow)

I love purple! It reminds me how royal our houndies can be!

It still amazes me the strength they have! If mine are on leashes and they catch a scent I'd better be ready!

Mine used to choke themselves also so I too switched to harnesses. It has worked out for the better.

Max would choke himself so bad that he would end up throwing up so we too use the harnesses.

What a pretty color for the harness. Hope this does the trick.
