<p>A leash-controllable dog harness adapted to inhibit a dog from straining against a leash held by an individual walking the dog, the harness inducing the dog to come to a halt or to walk at a pace acceptable to the leash holder. The harness includes a shoulder junction (10) provided with an openable loop which overlies the dog's shoulder intermediate its right and left forelegs, and a chest junction (11) which lies adjacent the dog's chest intermediate the foreleg crotches. Extending between the shoulder and chest junctions on opposite sides of the dog is a pair of straps (15,16) whose lengths are adjustable to accommodate the harness to the dog. Extending from the chest junction is a pair of restraint cables (21,22), one passing through the right foreleg crotch and then through the loop of the shoulder junction to terminate in a first ring, the other passing through the left foreleg crotch and then through the same loop to terminate in a second ring. Both rings (23,24) are coupled to the leash whereby when the leash is strained, the cables are concurrently caused to ride up the respective crotches to impose pressure on the sensitive foreleg pits. <MATH></p> |
