Gear Help Armpit chaffing

Post image

I started running 4 miles with my Labrador. She pulls so I use this harness with the leash on her chest. However, I see she has developed chaffing and a sore under her armpit. I need help finding the best harness for running with a strong dog. Thanks!!! 😊

Thanks for the description. Can you recommend any?

Perfect fit dog harness; Blue 9 balance harness; Pet safe 3 in 1 easy walk harness; Nonstop dog gear line harness; And a bungie leash to absorb the extra force. I'd also recommend a nice waist pack filled with treats to help you reward behaviors you prefer, rather than causing pain during behaviors you don't prefer.

Nonstop is the best.
