We bought a no-pull harness, called an "Easy Walk", and it really helped with our girl's pulling, but I just noticed that there's a spot on her shoulder where one of the straps has irritated her skin. So I'm on the search again for a no-pull harness that will not chafe, and maybe has some cushioning. Can anyone recommend one?

I use the Wiggle Wags and Whiskers harnesses for both the brothers and haven't had any trouble with chafing. But I was wondering if you would be able to somehow fix a piece of foam/cushiony material to her current harness in the area that is chafing Bonnie. Just a thought ...

You could try moleskin. You'll find it in the foot aisle of your pharmacy. Can be padded, which I use for muzzles, or not, which might be better to wrap around the harness.

When it comes to modifying things, I end up making a BIG mess, so I saved myself the aggravation and returned it to the store. I was impressed really, because it was 2 months past the deadline for returns, but I brought Bonnie into the store with me and showed the owner what the harness had done and I guess he felt a little sorry for her. But thanks for the idea! ;D
I also posted this on Greytalk, and the Wiggles/Waggs/Whiskers brand was mentioned there too. Turns out that one of the Cdn retailers for it is in Mississauga, or at least I hope the link that said so is still valid.

I've found the WWW don't fit all greyhounds well, be sure to try it on before you buy it. The trouble seems to be that the harness goes sideways, not on all dogs, just some of them - depends on their build.

I sell the Wiggle,Wags & Whiskers harnesses and I am in Cambridge.
If the harness is not fitted properly and snuggly it will slide sideways.

Nope, these were well fitted harnesses but they don't sit well on all hounds. As I said, it depends on the build of the hound. I sell the Wiggle,Wags & Whiskers harnesses and I am in Cambridge. If the harness is not fitted properly and snuggly it will slide sideways. Liz
