Looking for Harness Recommendations

I'm looking for recommendations for a no-pull harness that doesn't have to go over my dog's head. Ideally, something that buckles around the shoulders.

The harness I have now slips over her head and then clips around her shoulders. The problem is that she HATES having anything pulled over her head. She'll be super excited to go outside, but the second I grab the harness, she runs away. I've basically resorted to leaving it on her all day so I don't have to put it on and take it off repeatedly.

She's also very sensitive to anything tightening around her neck. Even at the vet, I have to ask them not to use the rope/slip leashes because she'll freak out if it tightens. She's a rescue who was dumped on the side of the road by a puppy mill, so I suspect there's some history behind that reaction.

My mom has a step-in harness for her dog, which would be perfect in terms of getting it on and off. The problem is that my dog is half Husky (aka half sled dog) and she pulls. A lot. And yes, we've worked on loose-leash training.

So I'm trying to find the best of both worlds, a good no-pull harness that either steps into or buckles completely around her, with nothing that needs to be pulled over her head. Bonus points if it's quick and easy to get on and off.

Does anyone know of such a harness, or am I destined to end up on Shark Tank?

Recommendations for shows to watch with my daughter

I'm looking for recommendations for shows to watch with my 12 year old daughter. It's become a little routine for my daughter and I to watch an episode or two of a show before she goes to bed. I'm looking for some recommendations based on shows she likes.

Ones she really liked

  • Avatar (OG) - this is probably her favorite ever
  • Modern Family
  • Young Sheldon
  • Malcom in the Middle
  • Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Others we've watched, but she lost interest in

  • Clarissa Explains It All
  • Avatar (live action)
  • My Hero Academia
  • Suburgatory

Rolling Stone - The 100 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time

I have so much to say about this.
I think NOFX ‘Punk in Drublic’ and Dead Kennedys ‘Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables’ are both top 20 at least.
Also, feels like this is a lot of early/proto-punk bias. And on the opposite end, what the hell is Turnstile doing that high?
If you are going to put Nirvana on this list at least use Bleach and not Nevermind.
And replace Blink-182 ‘Dude Ranch’, with The Offspring ‘Smash’

Looking Skill Based Competition Shows Without Drama

I'm looking for recommendations for reality competition shows that are based purely (or at least mostly) on skill. I love watching people who are passionate about something complete against each other. But I loathe manufactured drama.

Some of my favorites for context:

Forged in Fire - knifesmiths completing against each other and the clock. Think Chopped for blacksmiths.

Alone - Just people trying to survive on their own in the wilderness. No camera crews, no backstabbing, no tribal councils, no voting, just people versus the elements and their own minds.

The Great British Bake Off - my comfort watch. I love how everyone supports each other.

I also enjoyed A Cut Above and Blown. I tried to watch the Pottery one on HBO, but couldn't get into it.
