Weight walking harness

    I am wanting a weighted harness, not weight a pull harness. You can call it a back pack weighted vest or whatever. Anyone recommend a certain style or brand. I have searched and the prices are all over the places. Also reviews are crazy as the selection of crap or overpriced nice equipment. Far as weight itself a couple pounds no more than 10 -15 tops would adquate and it would be nice to be able to adjust the weight quickly for different applications during training. Just wondering?

    Have you looked at the Stillwater or O Brien's kennel supply websites?

    Why not get a backpack? Seems easier to find a great quality pack and you can easily control your weight, plus its less hard on the dogs body and wont throw off its biomechanics like a weighted vest.. Just an idea..

    No problem! Gonna buy one myself soon. Weighted west can be used for more then a backpack IMO. It doesnt hinder the dogs movement as much as a backpack does. The backpacks are cool for camping or hiking with your dog, but I wouldnt use it for a keep.

    My problem was finding one light enough that it wouldn't pull down on the spine. I gave up, what I found would hurt more than help
