Review title: Good but doesn't stop pulling or not much Product review: I use it on a small (17 pounds) mixed breed, aka hybrid ;) that was a rescue dog from a shelter, a mix Bishon Friese and poodle, maybe. He's about a year old and I don't think was ever or much on a leash before. This harness was recommended to me by a shelter volunteer as stopping pulling. I find that it helps over having just a collar, but he still pulls. What's particularly a nuisance is that because the loop/D ring is in front, frequently the leash is under his front leg or between his legs, so I have to constantly stop and lift the front leg and re-place the leash. I give the harness a "4" since it is an improvement over just a collar; it's well-made and attractive. He's very enthusiastic about having it be put on since it means walk, scamper and sniff, sniff, sniff.

Review title: judge for yourself--is this good parenting practice? Product review: p.139 "Administering real correction--punishing a child when she has disobeyed--has to hurt a little to be effective, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring."p.208 "Got any old hand or ankle weights in the garage? Have your child wear them around his ankles or carry them around for the day as punishmentp.203 "Use a pair of toy handcuffs to join two siblings who can't seem to get along. It's really fun to watch them try to eat dinner like this, or read a book, or take the garbage out, tasks I'll often assign them."p.207 "If they are unable to cooperate with one another, they must play in the backyard, whether it's 30 degrees or 100 degrees outside."p.75 Whelchel approves of filling a boy's room with manure!p.138 "My favorite curve, however, is to say no to some reasonable request, like `May I go to the bathroom?'"IS THIS REALLY CONSIDERED GOOD PARENTING ADVICE?TO ME IT IS SIMPLY PSYCHOLOGICALLY UNFIT.

Review title: Plastic Failure Product review: The Cloths line worked reasonably well for the first few months, but then the plastic knob on the left side broke and, apparently, cannot be replaced. The piece is actually a ratcheting lock that keeps the line tensioned. Without it the line will just sag and is useless. As stated above, this part should not be plastic.I went to the company website "Whitney Design" and there isn't even a link for support or parts; check it out. That's a question I should have asked before paying $55 for this; "Does the company support what they sell?"I would not buy this product again.
