I know I read which harness was best but I cannot find it anywhere on here. I'm sure it's my ADD preventing me from finding it. Daisy likes to pull a little too much for her safety and I was thinking this might be a better idea.
I appreciate all opinions and/or recommendations. Thanks!

She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Thanks Comet!
Daisy & Co, it's great to have you here, thanks for joining. What's the scoop with Daisy and the pulling?
Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Jerry, the pulling is really just at the oncologist's office. She's excited (yes I think the only dog that is there) and wants to say hi and I can't control her so well. I don't want her to fall so I figured if I had the harness, her weight would be better distributed than on a regular leash. Probably, just the mother as usual. I'm happy to see her so excited and let it go too far.
Hello Daisy's Mom,
Nice to hear that Daisy is so excited when she visits her vets… that must mean she's feeling good!! 
But I'm sure once you get the ruffware harness (and maybe also a gentle lead collar… ask Wyatt's pawrents about that) it will help with the pulling and balance.
