Success Story #13:

I went from skeptical to sold! We are back to being a team again! I have my well behaved partner back!

My well trained 14 month old dog started walking too fast a couple of months ago. My dog is also my assistance partner (still in training) so this put me through a period of extra concern as I am usually so in tune with my partner but I somehow missed how/why/when this actually started. We take two walks daily and I started getting very tired of saying "slow".

I saw the ad for the Walk In Sync System but was very reluctant to buy it. The money back guarantee won me over. Plus Alecia's patience with my endless questions!

Upon receiving the system (2 days after the order was placed- very pleased with the service too) we set out for a short walk a few hours after. One test walk with my needing to stop a few times was pretty much all that was needed to take me from skeptical to sold.

Over this first week with the harness we are now back to his only starting to walk a bit faster on rare occasions again but the good news is he realizes it and self corrects so quickly that I don't have a chance to stop.

I have my well behaved partner back. Even long walks through the parks are peaceful again. And I can allow him to have the full length of the leash so he can sniff around and enjoy himself too.

We stop at least once daily during our walks at places he can safely run off leash. He has no discomfort doing so with this harness on. Walks are again fun for both of us.

Almost daily people would stop me to tell me how impressed they were watching me walking with my dog. We hadn't heard things like that during the period he had sped his pace up. Hearing those types of praise again is wonderful.

We are back to being a team again!

Today is a rainy day, so I put my dogs old harness on him to take him for a run at the off leash dog park. It gets muddy and I didn't want to mess up his new harness. I was impressed to see that he maintained his pace right next to me.

I think we are ready to clip the leash to the back of his Walk In Sync Harness now knowing I can quickly clip it in front if the need arises again.

Thanks Alecia for giving both of us back the joy of going everywhere together again.

Success Story #12:

Mahalo nui loa for such a GREAT product that makes us all happier and safer.

Aloha Alecia Evans! We received the Walk In Sync system yesterday afternoon and have used it twice and love it! It takes the brain work out of leash training (maybe that should be one of your slogans...LOL). I feel much more sure of myself while walking Kimo and am not apprehensive when we encounter other people or dogs, which are always a huge distraction for our 76-pound loveable pup. Stay tuned for our follow-up video. Mahalo nui loa for such a GREAT product that makes us all happier and safer.

Success Story #10:

Sure enough, no prong collar or anything, she went where I wanted her to...

My girl is a puller, and the only way for us to get her to stop pulling is by using the prong collar. I have tried normal collars, choke chains, harness's, and she pulls on all. She's a little over a year old and is getting bigger still and MUCH stronger! It's getting to the point where I can't fight against it.

My friend had a Walk In Sync Harness and I tried it out on her, cause they suggested it might work. Sure enough, no prong collar or anything, she went where I wanted her to, and was easy to control when she pulled.

Success Story #9:

I am very very impressed that I have total control of my dog.

I have to admit, I was skeptical about this harness for my 100lb dog that was trained to pull. His Dr. wanted all pressure off neck so she recommended this. I told her I would give it a try but I thought I would be sending it back. I am very very impressed that I have total control of my dog. With the connector in the front, I am able to control with ease. Thank you for such a thoughtful product.

Success Story #8:

I used to run, frantically panting, behind my dog. Now we walk calmly together, side by side.

I used to run, frantically panting, behind my dog. Now we walk calmly together, side by side. The Walk In Sync system enabled me to make the choice that's right for both my dog and me. Thanks to Alecia and her brilliant invention, I don't just walk more calmly with my dog - I move more confidently through my life.

Success Story #7:

Thank you Alecia for our new Walk In Sync Harness and Leash. They are fantastic training tools.

Thank you Alecia for our new Walk In Sync harness and leash. They are fantastic training tools. When Turk started getting bigger, he become difficult to walk with, as he pulled and lacked restraint, also his manners at meeting new people and especially dogs were very lacking. With the new system we have seen amazing progress and we are having fun with our little boy again. I just wanted to let you know that you have really reduced our frustration and we now have the patience to be better parents. Thank you for the great design!

Success Story #6:

A change was INSTANT from our first Walk In Sync.

We have a very high-energy 2 yr. old pekinese-poodle who did nothing BUT pull on his harness every time we would go out for a walk. The entire process was almost violent, and certainly not a good experience for anyone involved. It got so bad that we were hardly able to walk him because he was always choking himself and all he did was pull, pull, pull and show aggression to other dogs...NOT FUN.

We tried the "Walk In Sync" harness because it was recommended by a friend. In the first moment of our first walk with the new harness, a change was INSTANT...Our dog looked very confused, and had no choice but to walk directly next to me at my speed. I don't know what he was thinking, but I LOVED IT!!! As we went further, he learned he was no longer in control of our walk and had to rely upon me completely to set the pace. He was a quick learner though and within 30 seconds he realized he was having fun. His tail was up and wagging and he seemed to proudly march around directly at my side. We were actually enjoying a walk!

I don't want to sound scripted, but this harness has helped us with more than just enjoying a daily walk together... his behavior has made a dramatic change for the better. Not only was the stress removed from our walks, his behavior in general seems to have improved. We have finally gained control of our dog and he loves it as much as we do. Thank you, Alecia, for such a great product!

Success Story #5:

It is so great to be able to walk so I get some exercise as well.

Alecia - Wanted to say thank you very much for your system as have been walking my Doberman everynite now and he is much better as he stays with me and I do not get tired of him pulling etc even when he is on his choke chain. It is so great to be able to walk so I get some exercise as well. I got him from a shelter when he was 2-3 years old and he is now 5+ years; am looking forward to when I am the alpha dog instead of him. Will write to you about our progress. Again Thank You Very Much.

Success Story #4:

Wonderful! Love the clip-on at the end of the leash, harness rode very nicely with no slipping or twisting.

Alecia - Thanks for setting me up with your system last week. Took Jackson for a walk tonight with it for the first time. When he first led out, he felt the leash become taut, turned slightly toward me, and proceeded to walk without so much as the slightest pull for over 3 miles. And that would be a first. Wonderful! Love the clip-on at the end of the leash, harness rode very nicely with no slipping or twisting, he seemed to like it. The quality of both the leash and harness are top drawer, way better than other products in stores. Good luck with this product, I think you have a winner. Highly recommended!

Success Story #3:

It was such a relief and it happened in 45 seconds. No joke.

Years ago we called Alecia to help our Maggie - who we had just adopted from the shelter - with some fear aggression while on walks and with other dogs. When Alecia arrived, our Riley - the other dog in the house - was more than excited to greet her at the door and practically knocked her over. Alecia immediately said, "Let's work with him, too". Riley was always so anxious to go for a walk and see everything. Pulling and whining and then combine Maggie with her fear aggression - walking was exhausting...for us humans and I don't think it did much for them either. Alecia quickly wrapped their leashes around them - in a manner that now looks like the Walk In Sync™Harness and to my complete and utter surprise, they walked perfectly.

I cried when she left. It was such a relief and it happened in 45 seconds. No joke.

Success Story #2:

Alecia's Walk In Sync™ Harness and Accu-Grip Leash design have been indispensible in this process.

My dog and I have met with Alecia once. I contacted her after becoming frustrated by my lack of control over my adult dog when we were out on walks or in new situations with new people. He was also showing some early signs of aggressive behavior that were confusing to me given his docile manner at home. Alecia suggested that it was an issue of confused boundaries. In other words, by skipping basic training and allowing my dog too much freedom as a pup, he had become convinced that, once out of the home, he was in charge. In order to remedy this confusion, we have "gone back to basics" and are working on mastering Sit, Down, Stay, and Come. We are also working on heeling while on our daily walks.

Alecia's harness and leash design have been indispensible in this process. With the harness, my dog is able to understand clearly the redirective signals I give him when he pulls. And the leash provides grips at intervals, allowing me to easily understand and track how much "lead" I am giving to him. Walking him has returned to being an experience that we both enjoy. He is learning not to pull and to look to me for cues of behavior. As for me, I'm able to set an uninterrupted pace that suits ME and just enjoy being outside!

Alecia has been great to work with. She is a great model for her own techniques, giving clear instructions without a trace of frustration or emotionality. At the same time, she is warm and compassionate and clearly someone who loves animals and understands the animal owner.

Success Story #1:

Your Walk-In-Sync™ Harness worked like magic.

I just wanted to let you know how amazed I was, when I first tried your harness. My Australian Shepherd, Jasmine was never trained to walk properly on a leash. She would run wildly down any street or path, and would practically pull my arm off. Seemed like it was always a battle of some sort and always left me feeling tired and frustrated. Your Walk-In-Sync Harness worked like magic. Not only did it fit her body beautifully, but the unique design is comfortable for both of us!. The best news yet, though - is that she took to the training tool IMMEDIATELY, and we've never had another episode of arm pulling again! I would recommend your training system to EVERYONE. (and I do!) You've made our lives so much better,
Thank YOU Very Much!
