Why the clip position changes everything
Most harnesses clip on the back. That gives your dog a full-body brace to lean into, which is exactly how a sled dog is set up to pull. Clip the lead at the chest instead and their own momentum swings them sideways, back towards you. The pull stops working. There's nothing on the neck and nothing on the face.
