Here is the best way to introduce a dog to other dog friends.
As we develop from childhood to adulthood we learn how to meet unfamiliar people. Our parents and teachers explain that we should smile and say “It’s a pleasure to meet you”. Likewise, your dog needs to learn how to properly meet unfamiliar dogs.
Using the EZ walk harness as a guidance tool, teach your dog to WALK POLITELY ON A LEASH. Teach him the command “Easy” means you want him to stop pulling on the leash so you can both enjoy walks. Teach the command “Let’s Go” to walk by and avoid an unruly dog or to take a short break from a play session that seems to be getting too rough. It’s important to have your dog meet lots of new friends as he grows up.

The EZ dog harnesses have straps that cross above your dog’s shoulders and can be fastened at center of your dog’s chest and behind the front legs. The dog harness will also have a clip in front for the leash.
Once you clip the leash to the front ring and begin walking, your dog has to stay by your side in order to keep moving forward. If the dog does pull, the leash goes off to the side—not straight back—which directs your dog back towards you. That gives you greater ability to control and guide your dog back to your side by applying a little pressure.
