I really don't see how that will stop the pulling. With my own dog, a harness that went around his chest/shoulders still enabled him to pull. Sure, a harness kept him from choking, which was great, but the pulling never really stopped until I used a head harness. Then, it was instant. He can't pull me with just his head.

The only harness that minimized pulling (for me & my dog) was the easy walk harness, but only because of the way it's fitted... it's like wearing a t-shirt that's too small for you - you can't lift your arms all the way up. this harness had the same principle, it was very tight across the shoulder area, so the dog couldn't take big steps, so he couldn't really gain any ground on you.

I'd also worry about the cord too, it doesn't seem like it would be too comfortable for the dog, especially for long walks.
