I ordered Ruger's Muzzle from Dean & Tyler and absolutely love it.
Oh I didn't realize you had ordered form them
Should I steer clear?
I originally ordered Arty's muzzle from them, ordered the wrong size (my fault), and getting them to RESPOND to any of my emails so I could get the wrong one returned and the right one ordered turned into an example of how NOT to treat your customers. I ended up finally returning the muzzle and getting it elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, the muzzle was well made and a very nice piece of work, and the original order arrived very quickly. The rest of the process sucked massively.....
Wow Ruth that's nice, and the price isn't bad either Another Bookmark
Thanks for the heads up, that's all I needed. I do like their harnesses but I have no use for one, other than for Mason possibly weight pulling.

I can point you to several places that carry mastiff sized (or will make mastiff sized) carting and weight pull harnesses if you decide you want one!
This was one of the other harnesses that'd caught my eye: Dog Harnesses | Dog Harness Vest | EzyDog Convert Harness
Point away That way I can start saving money now and invest.
Another item on wish list! I love how they have tags you can add on too!
Ruth, will he not pull with just a back clip/handle (cause he pulled weight before) or do you just want an "oh shit" handle and don't want to try and grab the collar?
Kris do you use that harness? I use the easy walk harness and she is great now except if she see her favorite thing in the world a dog (everyone is friend and has to get a puppy bow etc)! We are getting better at the nevermind (at about 15-20 feet away we can almost totally nevermind now!) but sometimes idiots will have their dog off leash and it will run up to use etc., and she isn't good enough at the nevermind in very close side walk range yet. I was thinking of trying the harness that you recommended as of right now I use the easy walk and a really short leash on her collar for "oh shit moments", however, it makes it a little awkward at times to walk. The easy walk stops her from pulling but if she gets lunge happy because of excitement the second leash is needed. The one you posted as a double clip leash on it so is that all you use? Do you clip on to his collar? Does he even wear one? Sorry for the hijack. When I walk her with just the one leash she seems way more relaxed but I also have less control if there is a "oh shit" moment which is few but still.
Was Apollo acting up because of your inlaws dog? Or just felt like being goofy that day?
I ordered it Kris! It will probably take a little to get here from UK but I can't wait. She is between the Large and XL size for now but I got the XL so I hope it won't be too big as she still has growing to do (8.5 months but I did measure). Yes, I know what you mean about the easy walk...its like something doesn't fit exactly right or something (maybe because its a large size but her chest is long but not wide yet as she is a pup). The change sides problem drives me nuts too...the dog must think I hate my right side at this point lol. I will have the collar still on for ID too but I hope to hold one leash now instead of 2 different length etc.
My husband laughs at me because he has more weight and can really just hold her on the flat at this point but she is getting closer to my weight and it wont be long now. She is usually very good and is getting better daily but I do not want to go face surfing one day especially when the snow comes because she loves something! Or now that it gets dark earlier (she is way more guardy at night), just wanna be prepared.
I see someone posted a link to the harness made by Bold Lead Designs. I just wanted to say that I've ordered from Katrina at BLD before and been very pleased with the service and quality of the products. They're a small US based company and everything is handcrafted, at least to my knowledge. I've not ordered a harness, but if I needed one I wouldn't hesitate to order from them.
