Yes, the Sporn harness is a godsend. Molly was pulling a lot on walks and it was causing shoulder pain for me. To the point that some days I couldn't physically walk her (I have a bad shoulder). I investigated the Sporn and picked on up for her. Immediate difference. She's learned not to tear around and jerk the leash when she's in it and it's like I am walking a whole new dog. Winston will be getting one too. For now he's in a regular harness, as it's sufficient for his age.
I use harnesses simply because I feel more secure having them in it as opposed to a collar. Bassets have this way of slipping out of collars...must be all that extra skin. Of course I feel better when they are pulling with a harness as opposed to a collar. I worry about the neck and possible injury.
But definitely check out the Sporn harness. They aren't that expensive. I got mine at Petsmart.
