Given Gramercy's girth and odd shaped body I've had him walking in a soft single point of contact harness. Here's an excellent link as to Why all dogs should be walked in a harness You may be saying single point of contact, what the heck is she talking about.... That my friends will be tomorrows post so, make sure to check back in.

| Gramercy in his old harness |
I decided to switch harnesses for a variety of reasons:
1) Gramercy LOVES to go for a walk and he pulls out of excitement. It's not awful but, it's not good for his neck and legs so we are going to work on reducing the pulling.
2) I want to use a 2 point of contact leash with him (more on that tomorrow)
3) I want to work on him not "bouncing" so much when he walks. My guess is that the "bouncing" was how he over compensated to deal with his nerve pain before his surgery. Now that we've fixed him, we need to work on walking in better balance.
So... Mr. "Getting Slim" has graduated to a wonder walker harness and it fits him well!

| Such a good boy - he gets his business done quick so we can start moving. Notice him putting full weight on that back left leg - Awesome! |

| No problems with the new harness! As usual, Gramercy just goes with the flow. |

| Looking good! |
