Agreed. Small dogs that dont need to be trained since a swift pull is enough pressure to get them by your side, can be walked on a harness.Glad I read through the pages. As soon as I read the initial post, I wanted to add the input that harnesses are not good for teaching dogs to heel. All they do is encourage to pull. You can get away with harnesses on really tiny dogs like chihuahuas or dogs that are respectful and don't drag you all over the place.
OP, did you know that a dog can pull 4 times their body weight? That means that a 25lb dog can pull 100lbs! I'm guessing your dog weighs about 60lbs, maybe more. Hook her up to her harness and a cart and she can help around the yard. That also means that she can easily pull you around on a harness if she wanted.
Harness for training = no go.
