Animal training harness

Abstract

A method to prevent a dog from pulling including attaching to the dog a non-sliding neck and body strap. A sliding stop strap is positioned relative to the neck and body straps such that when the dog pulls on a leash attached to the sliding stop strap, this stop strap tightens against the dog's body.

1 . A method for preventing a dog from pulling on a leash comprising: 
 a) attaching a non-sliding neck strap around a neck of said dog;    b) attaching a non-sliding body strap around the body of said dog;    c) positioning a sliding stop strap relative to said neck strap and said body strap such that when the dog pulls exerting a force on the leash attached to said sliding strap, pressure is exerted on a front chest area of said dog and an upper leg area of said dog.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein step c includes sliding two fader loops onto a selected position on said body strap and securing said sliding stop strap through the fader loops such that the sliding stop strap exerts the force of step c.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said fader loops may be slid into a selected position using sliders mounted on said body strap.  
   
   
       4 . A method for preventing a dog from pulling on a leash comprising: 
 providing a sliding stop strap on a harness worn by the dog, said stop strap configured such that when the dog pulls on a leash attached to said harness, pressure is exerted on a front chest area of said dog and an upper leg area of said dog.    
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said harness includes a means for variably positioning said stop strap on said dog.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein said harness includes multiple sliders for variably positioning said stop strap on said dog.
