mine places me right at judson's hip.
And that works for us. He is a Very long dog. We are the same height
though, smile.
My school is going to be using a new style that looks kind of like the
European style, but not as free moving, at least i didn't notice a lot of
free movement in them.
But our old style is the one with the harness handle going through the
stabilizer loops on the side of the harness and clipping to the side of the
dog near his shoulders.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Hi Shelley, the handle length I have at present is 24 inches, I'm 5ft 6". If
the handle lies flat on his back in the down position, the handle end where
you grasp will be just past where his tail begins, so that's the walking
spot for me when working with him. Another school requires that the handler
walk up near the front shoulder position.
We just saw another type harness handle, Europe, I think. There was a short
piece on TV this evening, and this handle was more a v shaped handle that
pivoted at the v point, attaching to the harness between the dog's
shoulders. The handle seemed so free moving and rather strange. I'm still
trying to work out how it would feel being so flexible in movement from side
to side.
Regards Valerie
