GH at work ???

[Pixie]

This is after I had gotten her dry. This is what she thought of it the GH!

Very funny. She'll show you!

So, can they step over it? Of was it loose? Do you have to make it extra tight so that they don't do that?

[Arrooh]

cute

but not set up correctly. She would normally be hooked up to the neck safety part so she couldn't get around as much. Then if she wanted to step over the belly non-sitter part there is a way to put a strap around her middle.

The no-sit feature uses a second loop and clamp, with padding over the loop to protect the dog's tender belly. If you have a dog that's trying to step over, you can open up the loop and fasten it around their waist, but keep the padding over the part that goes under the belly. No way they can step over something strapped across their back.

Is she flipping you the Bird in the last picture? That's just plain rude!

Strap it around the body!

Pixie,

You can undo your quick release and take the loop and strap it around the body using the foam peice on the strap that goes around the belly to protect the stomach. Now they cannot step over it because it is around their body instead of just under it.

For the dogs that are elderly who will not step over it you can use it just under their belly.

I'm not sure if I had tightened, or raised it up more if she would have been able to still step over it. It had worked while I was drying her, it was just after she was done drying that she decided she had had enough and just stepped right over it and sat down. lol I thought it was kind of funny myself. I did rest of the groom without it. Once she had stepped over it she kept doing it, figured, ok I'll do it your way. I'll try it on her again when she comes back it and it will be higher up and see what she does.

Here is the GH in action!

[Pixie]

As I was working on another dog today I remembered about opening the loop and putting it around the dog and fastening the snap to the other post end. I've said this before, "Sometimes I'm a little bit slow" must have been one of those times.

Thanks Helly and Chuck for setting me straight. Wish you where here yesterday when my brain wasn't working lol.

I've watched the DVD a couple of times and learn something new each time. Guess I'll have to watch it a couple of more times! HEHEHEHE

I still think she looked cute after she had stepped over it and kind of just sat there looking at me like...Gotcha!!!!

LOLOLOL...cute photos! That's too funny.

Yes, for dogs that can step over, you want to put the dog in the loop, rather than standing over it. You don't want to raise it exceedingly high, so maybe that will work for the little "I'll show you" boy.
