Hi there,
I just wanted to send a note telling you how much I love your product. My wife and I adopted our dog Zoe from the shelter in April and while she is a wonderful dog, she has needed quite a bit of behavioral training work. She is a pit bull/lab mix and is very sweet, but hadn’t really been exposed to much before we got her. One of the obvious problem areas was getting her to go on walks properly. She was very skittish and would pull on the leash really hard in every direction. Every person she saw or sound she heard would make her run in a different directions. We went to Pet Elements which is near our house and originally had the intention of buying a gentle leader hoping it would help, luckily they were out of stock for the size we needed and one of the people working there recommended the wonder walker. He let us try it out on her outside the store, and she didn’t seem to mind it so we bought one. The positive effect was immediate. On the walk home from the pet store, she was noticeably calmer, sitting at the crosswalk patiently waiting for the light, not getting scared around groups of strangers, almost like she was a different dog. The harness made her feel safe and secure outside of the house. In the months following my wife and I have worked a lot with Zoe, and she has gained a lot of confidence and has become a really great well behaved dog. I attribute a lot of the speed of her learning good behavior to the wonder walker. I can’t stop telling people how well it works, and have gotten 3 friends and relatives to get one and they’ve loved them as much as we have. Great job on making a wonderful product.
Thank you,
Victor
Hi,
First of all, I have never in my 50 years of life written a person or company to thank them after buying their product.
After getting a call from my tearful wife yesterday, telling me she could no longer walk our dog because he sometimes would get out of control, I realized that we had come to a horrible turning point in our relationship with our 80 pound, 2 year old male lab, Java. Java is a great dog, well mannered and well trained, but he is a young, excitable lab who would occasionally lunge towards other dogs during our walks. Being 6’1″, tall and having the build to do so, I could control him when he would do this. My wife is much shorter and lighter, and Java was seriously going to injure himself or her if this kept up.
We did have him on a harness, but it buckled to the leash on top of his back.
I honestly spent the last day thinking that I may have to find another home for Java, and that thought was completely wrecking me. After bringing it up with a co-worker, I bought your wonder walker body halter on her recommendation.
OH MY GOD!
That harness is like power steering for my lab! I put it on him, attached the leash, and immediately Java was walking beside me instead of pulling in front of me. I tugged it a couple of times, lightly, and found that instantly my dog was turned around, all attention on me.
I am still blown away. After walking with him for a bit, we came upon a corner, and there was another dog being walked. I wish I had what happened next filmed for you guys. Java ran forward, did his lunge jump as he always does, and immediately got turned around facing me with no real jerk at all! He looked at me with a look of surprise and shock, turned around, tried again, and the same thing happened! It took him seconds to realize that if he wanted to face the other dog, he had to leave slack on the leash. No training time, no trial and error, problem fixed and solved, instantly.
For the next five minutes, I talked with the stranger who was walking his dog, and basically became a very enthusiastic instant live commercial for your product. “Did you see that? I just bought this harness because of our dog lunging, did you see what just happened?!?” The funny thing about it is, he ended up being someone who already knew how well it worked.
Anyway, THANK YOU! I think your harness just saved my relationship with either my dog or my wife, I am not really sure which, but THANK YOU! I will be recommending your harness to many people in the future. I have been so tickled with the results that I wore out the dog with all of the walks today…
Sincerely,
Doug
Although I was skeptical when the Wonder Walker™ Body Halter© was suggested as a tool to control an exuberant and somewhat unruly large dog I had adotped I was truly amazed at how well it performed. It saved my back and changed our frequent walks from contests of strength and will into mutually pleasant excursions. I readily recommend this training harness without reservation.

Kara from the Seattle Animal Shelter feels people are missing out if they do not use the Wonder Walker™ Body Halter© to walk their dogs. These are used by the volunteers who walk the dogs waiting for new homes at the shelter. The Shelter has found these are the easier for volunteers to use and control the dogs. Plus, with the added pads, none of the dogs are getting sores from the harnesses as had happened in the past. Both the staff and the dogs are happier. They also use the Service Leash for the added control needed for dogs who have not yet learned how to correctly walk using a leash. Come visit the Seattle Animal Shelter to find your next best friend.

Good morning,
Just wanted to say your Wonder Walker™ Body Halter© is the best piece of equipment a canine owner needs.
I have a border collie lab mix about 80 pounds and a Tibetan terrier mix. The promise lead was OK however the terrier and lab mix get very-physical when cars or other animals pass by.
The Wonder Walker™ Body Halter© simple reduces their physical energy and they are easily handled. It reduces their jumping or attacking.
They could use the Wonder Walker™ Body Halter© at Jurassic Park to easily walk Tyrannosaurus Rex 😉
Enjoy the week

Hi Mary,
Just wanted to let you know that I received the car strap today. Millie and I are going right out to do an errand or two and try it out. Thanks so much for sending it to me.
I have to tell you too how much we are enjoying the harnesses you made. They are awesome. Our dogs are walking so much better with them. Did you note that I did not say perfectly as Millie continues to try the dragging scoot technique (is that what you called it? ) upon occasion. She is not doing the flying leaps like she used to though or the tugs. What a wonderful invention you have. Jan’s terriers are much better too. Her Welsh is so much happier without the gentle leader strap over her nose. They just strut along looking so perfect now, until they decide to have a little squabble, at which time Millie takes on the short role of the “good doggie”. What a circus we are in the mornings on our walk. Sometimes we throw a beautiful and elegant German Shepherd into our mix and he is truly the perfect dog.
Well, thanks again for your halters and the car strap and the time you spent with us.

Dear Doodads,
I love my new Wonder Walker Body Halter. We were just getting ready to go Earth Day when it arrived in the mail. Judy put it on me right away and off we went. I knew exactly what Judy wanted me to do while I wore it, and she said I was a really good girl. Thanks goodness I didn’t have to wear that horried head halter around my nose. I didn’t like that one bit, and it made by nose itch. Thank you for inventing the Wonder Walker!

“The Wonder Walker really is a superior product. I have been a convert to the front clipping style harness for sometime and have used other brands but feel that of all of them the Wonder Walker is the best. The construction is excellent and I love that the clasp is positioned for my dog’s comfort, not pinching his armpit! The triangular side rings prevent unnecessary wear and slippage and the color selection is so fun.
I love that the makers of the Wonder Walker will do repairs and are very responsive to their customers’ needs. It really is terrific product and it will help you train your dog to walk beautifully on a loose lead. I co-own a training studio and it’s the only harness (or collar of any type) we sell and we recommend it to all of our students.
I have the seatbelt too and my Zepar is now also able to act as my co-pilot safely and happily.
Thanks Wonder Walker!” Andrea
I wish I had found this before I had my shoulder surgery. I find I am now able to walk my dog without worrying about my shoulder or hiring someone to walk my 85 lb dog who used to drag me down the street.

I love your halter, your double swivel leash, and the Hipster walking belt. I use them daily in my business.

If I had not had this on my dog, he would have gotten away. He cannot slip out of this like his has a collar. When the squirrel ran in front of us, I was able to control him. What a wonderful safety device. I know longer worry about taking long walks in the park.

I am going to sound like a commercial. I have been walking my dog for the last 2 days with the Wonder Walker. Bud is just a puppy 7 months old. We got him when he was 3 months and 35 pounds. He is now 7 months and close to 60 pounds. From the very beginning, he has tugged and pulled me to the point that I have had to see a chiropractor, sometimes once a week. After 4 months of daily “walks” where I tried to teach him not to pull, I signed up for private lessons at the Gray Dog Lodge where they referred me to your product. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. Bud is a different dog when walking with the Wonder Walker. From the minute I put it on him, he started walking beside me. It has really been an incredible transformation!
I want to order 2 more. One for Bud to prepare for his next growth spurt and an X-Large for my daughter’s 100 pound golden retriever who is currently unwalkable. I can’t thank you enough. It is now a pleasure to walk my dog!
