When your dog pulls, the front lead attachment helps gently turn their body back towards you, making it harder for them to pull straight ahead. This can help encourage calmer lead walking when used alongside consistent training.</font></span></h2><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size: 22.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><font face="Tahoma"><b>Is the GentleStep harness a no-pull harness?</b></font></span></h2><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size: 22.6667px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><font face="Tahoma">Yes, the GentleStep is designed as a front-clip no-pull dog harness.
