The No-Pull Harness Guide: What It Is & Why Every Dog Mom Needs One 🐶

šŸ• Why Dogs Pull on Walks (It’s Not Just You!)

Pulling isn’t your fault—and it’s not just your dog being ā€œbad.ā€ Most pups pull because:

  • They’re excited and want to explore

  • They haven’t learned loose-leash walking

  • Collars and back-clip harnesses encourage pulling by reflex

  • They feel anxious and try to escape or rush

A no-pull harness helps redirect that energy, giving you better control without causing harm or discomfort.

šŸ’” What Is a No-Pull Harness?

A no-pull harness is a specially designed harness that gently discourages pulling by:

  • Redirecting the dog’s momentum when they lunge forward

  • Placing the leash clip at the front of the chest, not the back

  • Distributing pressure across the body instead of the throat

  • Encouraging more natural, calm walking posture

Bonus: It works wonders for leash training without harsh tools or tension.


šŸ„‡ Why Dog Moms Are Ditching Collars for No-Pull Styles

Traditional collars can:

  • Hurt the trachea or neck

  • Make pulling worse

  • Offer zero control for reactive dogs

No-pull harnesses like Dogistry’s SoHo and NoMad Harnesses give you:

  • Gentle but effective redirection

  • Comfortable control in crowded areas

  • Stylish alternatives to bulky training gear

  • A more enjoyable walk for both you and your dog

šŸ“ How to Fit a No-Pull Harness Correctly

To get the full no-pull benefits:

  • Adjust snugly—two fingers should fit between the harness and your pup

  • Make sure the front D-ring sits in the center of the chest

  • Use a 4-5 ft leash for better response (Dogistry’s adjustable leashes are perfect)

  • Start slow with short training walks and lots of praise


🧠 FAQ: No-Pull Harnesses

Q: Will it stop pulling completely?
A: It helps dramatically—but combine it with training and consistent walks for best results.

Q: Is it better than a collar?
A: Yes, especially for dogs who pull, have small necks, or are leash reactive.

Q: How do I choose between SoHo and NoMad?
A: Choose based on your dog’s size. SoHo is for small breeds, NoMad is for medium to large.
