they are pretty much just for escape proof reasons.

What do you want to walk your dog on? a harness, a flat collar?

I had been planning to do training with a harness, until I'm at the point where we can have a pleasant walk where the dog is in the walker's immediate area with a slack leash, and won't bolt at distractions. That's under the logic that it will do less harm to the dog and will allow for more control when training, and IMO adult dogs in harnesses don't look super great.

whatever it is, train with that item. Train your heel on a harness if you want to do daily walks on a harness.

I was planning to start training my proper heel on whatever we're used to walking in, and then work to heel with other stuff and off leash.

Unless your dog is giving you serious problems, there is no need for a fancy martingale or a choke chain or a head halter.

Adult dog pulling in harness = not trained dog.

I trained deacons heel on a flat collar. No prong, no choke chain. Just a collar, some treats, and good timing.

Important: Do they need the fancy dog bandanas or do regular bandanas work?

Oh yeah, I know that, I just meant that regardless of how nicely they're walking, I think that adult dogs look sort of silly in harnesses

If I get him fancy dog ones, I'll get them from Etsy, I'd rather support small businesses than Amazon (also, if I had an etsy shop, i'd be thrilled if someone bought something, and I want someone to be happy)
