Dumbest Invention I Own


First i should say, we dont have a pet store in our town. If you cant find what your looking for at Wal-mart or Target, drive 2 hours to Tucson to look for it.
With that said, we needed a new harness for our dog, the one in the picture, was the only one in the whole freakin town. So were like, ok fine, well take it.
So we go home and put it on our dog and take him out. Whats wrong with this harness? Well, incase the makers of it didnt notice, dogs like to sniff, a lot. The only thing my dog could smell was the leash that kept hitting his face. It attaches to the front middle of the chest. (Anti pull my ass...he wouldnt stop pulling trying to get away from the leash attaking his face) So everytime he went to smell the ground to pee, he'd freak out and if by chance he happened to get his face around it, he would just spin around in a circle, like some dogs tend to do when trying to find the right spot, and get it wrapped around his head.
We were determined to make this thing work, afterall we did spend 30 freakin bucks on it. And what other choice did we have? After messing around with it for a bit, we decided to turn it upsidedown, to where the leash attacher was on his upper back, not chest area. Its working really well in that direction.
I guess i should also mention that i have a pug, so maybe this setup would work on a real dog, but for all of those people with big fat pugs...take the 2 hour drive to Tucson, unless you feel like being entertained by a very confused doggie.
