No Pulling. A Trick With a Single Piece Of Rope.

[@deborc2705]

I need to try to learn how to do this. Thank you for teaching us.

[@jhstylewon1172]

Simple, ingenious, and easily accessible. I'm never buying a choke collar or halti again.

[@withforrest]

@@jhstylewon1172 once you get the hang of this one, let me know how it ends up working for you. Overall it's a great way to walk a dog even if pulling takes some training with it.

[@LimitlessJayson]

This is an amazing method. I use tools in my training & have highly reliable functional obedience, but learning methods like this and adding it to my toolbox is always something I enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing! Might try this out on our next hike!

[@withforrest]

Great comment. Let me know if you end up trying this. Always love hearing honest feedback.

[@Chasing.Adventure]

Pretty neat. Always appreciate seeing new ways to do a thing.

[@withforrest]

Always happy to share my thingy ideas ;)

[@venus9930]

Thank you very much I really appreciate it I have a extra large dog and it’s big and strong 😅

[@Dom_Fella]

Thanks for the video!

[@withforrest]

You bet. Sharing is caring.

[@debclair822]

Brilliant!! Would you have any guidance for rope sizes for smaller and larger dogs? I have a 16 lb and 5 lb. Haha, my big boy pulls a bit, but that 12 mm beautiful rope is a tad big. I’ll probably hit a hardware store and check out sizes. Thanks for this. God bless.

[@withforrest]

@@debclair822 definitely try to see if you can find an arborist store near you. They have tons of options. You can definitely experiment with sizes but definitely don't go too thin. Somewhere around 9 or 12 mm thickness of rope for large dog seems to work good. Eight or 9 mm might work good for a small dog as well. Some places like to use diameter measurements in inches so whatever the equivalent is. Making this can take some trial and error so definitely be patient with tying the knot and figuring it out. Once you get the hang of it it is absolutely awesome.

[@debclair822]

@ Wow, fast response! I will check out gardening stores, I will look for an arborist specific. It’s still winter(Canada) so I’ll see what might work with winter jackets, but spring is coming! Thank so much for this. My mental health with walking my nuts thanks you too.

[@withforrest]

@ I am in Canada too. Where abouts are you?

[@debclair822]

@ I’m in Calgary.

[@withforrest]

@ Im in Cochrane just west of you lol.

[@notusingmyname4791]

I don't know how this ended up in my feed but my gf and I were talking about our dog's harness this morning and this is genius!

[@withforrest]

Golly don't make be blush now. Lol. In all seriousness though, thank you for your comments and feedback. Whenever I'm looking at products online it generates ideas of creativity in my mind. And a long time ago I came up with the concept and finally decided to make a video about it

[@notusingmyname4791]

@@withforrest I finally learned how to do a poacher's knot and tried this on my min-pin/chiuahua and did a test run... she tried pulling but immediately stopped, so it isn't a constant pull, and with time an training I think this will get her to walk closer in pace with us humans who don't sprint at full speed everywhere (that's her one speed). Thanks for the video, blush all you want, it's well deserved praise!

[@withforrest]

@@notusingmyname4791 This is so awesome to hear. It sounds like you got it right based on the results too. Seriously appreciate the followup. I'm hopeful you got some stylish rope lol

[@stevenlengyel9701]

Your computer is dying on you

[@karinnijssen5600]

Hi, thank you so much for sharing this . Looked again and again, put on hold and so on, to get the job done. I made two for my dogs, but I wonder if this is normal.. When I pull on the leach, not only the part around the waist tightens, but also the part round the neck gets a bit tighter. To remove it, the two loops are easily adjustable. I also payed attention, that the loop round the waist went first. Already thanks for the feedback.

[@withforrest]

@@karinnijssen5600 as long as the loop around the neck isn't constricting and staying tight, you should be good. The neck loop will slide accordingly. As long as the chest loop is the one closing primarily. It may take some getting used to and adjusting the first few times. Once you have it, using it comes with ease

[@stevenlengyel9701]

I’m disabled and our new dog is very strong I need this or we need this

[@withforrest]

@@stevenlengyel9701 if you want end up creating and using it let me know what results you have. Some dogs take time and training with it while others catch on fast.

[@richardcranium8554]

Pretty cool! What thickness rope do you use?

[@withforrest]

@@richardcranium8554 I usually aim for anything 9 mm and up. In this video I am definitely using a thicker one because I got it at an arborist supply store. It's probably around the 12 mm mark. Depending on the brand some of them are labelled in inches. This is I believe half inch.

[@watchmoivies123]

Oh my goodness gracious I’ve tried every single collar no pull harness prone collar buzzer collar, but not a shock collar clicker, training, walk, and when they pull turn around and go the other way and I’ve been doing this for four years. I would love to try your method, but I don’t think I can do it. Is there anyway you would make one for me and I would pay for you to ship it to my house.

[@kcrseworld2139]

Wow good idea I love dogs my also channel about german shepherd

[@vmon215]

Tremendous

[@withforrest]

Simplicity and effectiveness at its finest

[@femmec6644]

Very interesting! Does the rope cause chafing where it rubs the fur or skin?

[@withforrest]

No I have never had that happen. The movement is minimal.

[@watchmoivies123]

Just wondered if you would be kind enough to make me one of these do you still have a channel?

[@withforrest]

Whereabouts are you located?

[@watchmoivies123]

I am in Connecticut

[@withforrest]

@@watchmoivies123 i'm not sure what you mean when you ask if I still have a channel. This is my channel. This is super easy to make and I would feel guilty for sending you a piece of rope in the mail that may cost $50 in shipping. Im in another country.

[@dogtrainingdoesmatter]

Id like to see it work on a dog that pulls....

[@withforrest]

@@dogtrainingdoesmatter that's why I make it. For people who have dogs that pull. There are actually some people that have commented on this video that said it has worked on their dog that pulls. Serves as a great training tool. Some of my dogs used to pull, and as you can tell from this video not so much anymore.

[@watchmoivies123]

Hello again, so did you get my message about that one I could buy that’s not just a rope but it does pull up on the dogs waist I believe do you think that one is decent?

[@withforrest]

@@watchmoivies123 ive commented on one of your many comments multiple times I'm not sure if you're seeing it

[@watchmoivies123]

Hello again, I did get one saying that you would not feel good charging me $50 to make one, but I had asked you if one I saw on Amazon looks like something that would work the same as yours and no I can’t make them. I’m so sorry this is just me. I’m notgood at that and I don’t have good hands. I have carpal tunnel in one of them.

[@withforrest]

@ this is my design and nobody else makes these. And shipping alone would be $50 from another country. Or more. That's excluding the price of the rope. I don't know any other place that makes my design.

[@OscarDesnoyers]

aren't those dogs just in a heel, can you do it on an untrained dog? most people needing a no pull harness dont work their dog

[@withforrest]

@@OscarDesnoyers I started with this technique using this trick. Then over time with training and practice I got them to a heel. If I ever need to walk any of my dogs this is the trick that I use. In fact, I have way too much rope laying around my house lol.

[@withforrest]

@@OscarDesnoyers you are right. Most people who need a no pull harness do not train their dogs. So this can not only serve as a starter training tool, but it can also be used as a main generic lead for walking anywhere. Its hella simple to make and use and as I mentioned in the video, doesn't put pressure around the dogs neck, and it won't cause whiplash if the dog runs to the end of the lead. It's generally speaking quite safe. I also like it because it's quite escape proof.

[@OscarDesnoyers]

@withforrest that is true

[@OscarDesnoyers]

@withforrest i have a collar for reese and it has a lock feature on it, i think it is the only cost with that feature that i own but ive never worried about my dogs running off

[@withforrest]

@@OscarDesnoyers kind of curious about that lock feature. Sounds interesting. It's always nice when you don't have to worry about dogs running off. Natural skills.

[@watchmoivies123]

Good morning you asked me what state I’m in and I did get back. It is Connecticut but you think something like this is the same thing because I’ll buy this. I know it cost a lot of money, but I’m willing to try it if you think it’s the same as your homemade because I like the way you did it and my dog has a trachea problem so he cannot have any pressure on his throat or neck Sporn No Pull Dog Harness for Large Dogs, Red Mesh Dog Harness, Durable Nylon Dog Harness No Pull, Breathable & Easy Dog Body Harness, Dog No Pull Harness for Large Dogs Provides to Large Breeds

[@watchmoivies123]

Oh, so you’re not in the United States

[@Facectrl91]

Nope it will not work if dog is not already trained after all its just an DIY harness come on guys use your heads ....

[@withforrest]

@@Facectrl91 its not a harness. Harnesses encourage pulling, this does not. It's not wise to comment that it doesn't work when you haven't tried it. Many of my clients are impressed with how well it works as well as people who have watched the video have tried it and commented that it is working amazingly. Yes its a DIY idea, thats the whole point of the video. Why is this an issue? Just because its not a patented expensive product does not automatically mean it's ineffective. It is a unique and simple approach to prevent pulling that is not utilized or thought of by many, this includes companies and brands that patent products. If other no-pull methods aren't working for other people, this is simply another safe option. One that I have creatively thought of and successfully used. The video speaks for itself as I own 16 dogs and use this with them. Concisely put, your comment is not valid until you actually take the time to try it. Not with one dog, but many.

[@tedcity5861]

thats ok i guess, but i think proper training is better than a trick. I had a harness for my dog that did something similar. It worked well , until he chewed and broke a couple of clips. Back to square one.

[@withforrest]

@@tedcity5861 I did mention in the video and the description that proper training is absolutely necessary. And that this could serve as a starter training tool.

[@tedcity5861]

@withforrest apologizes !

[@withforrest]

@@tedcity5861 all good :)
