I have two very wiggly sausage dogs and have struggled to find harnesses that I can quickly and easily get on and off, but these are perfect! Fewer nylon straps mean less chafing and the dogs are visibly more comfortable in these harnesses for long periods of time than others I’ve tried. The handle on top is also really useful to quickly grab them if necessary when they’re off the lead. I would highly recommend these harnesses; it’s absolutely worth spending the money.

My staffy girl loves it and it helps also with her constant pulling shes not the most friendliest of dogs so its good to know i have her well harnessed in when passing other dogs as she managed to slip other harnesses which has proved eventful to say the least
I ordered her a size 2 and she weighs 26kg bit on the fat side but she loves her food i would estimate this would fit any dog between 25kg – 45kg both straps are adjustable and i have hers on the smalles

I’ve been buying these harnesses for years…in my opinion the best.
However….
I’ve had some difficulties with our new puppy getting the right fit.
The mini mini is too big…and the Baby 2 which I have here would be perfect except,,,
The way the whole harness is fitted is crucial,,..it’s imperative that the front band sits exactly right round the neck in order that the harness makes the dog weighted in the middle when lifted Via back ring.
It is this feature which sets this harness apart,,,it is terribly practical, and there been many a time when my last dog was airlifted to safety!
So this Baby 2 harness is indeed the right size, but the design flaw lies in that front band, in that it does not allow for enough Adjustment with the Velcro….so once again I’ve had to laboriously sew in extra Velcro so I can get the correct fitting…
So I think the makers of the Julius K 9 harness need to look at other ways to adjust the front band.,.
Otherwise..as previously said…this is the best harness out there, and it gives you unrivalled comfortable control of your dog.
Really like this harness because it sits further down in the dog’s back, so doesn’t pull on their throat. Great for dogs who like to walk in front of you. However, if your dog walks behind you, and remains steadfast when they’ve found a scent and refuses to move, then pulling too hard can potentially cause them to completely slip the harness. Its fastened with a big clip underneath their body, but they can easily slip out backwards if not tight enough and you pull from the front. This may be obvious to most people but, as a first time dog owner, I wasn’t prepared for how strong and slippery the little darlings can be! We still use it, we’re just very careful about pulling it.
This was bought as a replacement for another K9 harness we already had for our cockapoo, she has grown in the year since we picked up the first one so the only reason another was purchased was because she needed a slightly bigger one, it is not a reflection of the product or its performance, more our weakness in giving out treats to the dog!
Below is the review for our original purchase and all of the points raised remain valid after a few weeks of extensive use of this new one, quality is not diminished and the dog is happier as she now has an extra notch on her belt 🙂
—————
We had tried all manner of halti leads, traditional collars, 3 point harnesses and more before we picked up this harness for our Cockapoo after seeing another Cockapoo sporting one in a park.
Our dog loves to pull ahead, its a constant when on the lead, we have tried to train her we have had three instructors to try and help but to no avail. With this in mind it was important for us to get a harness that firstly could help reduce this and more so made her as comfortable as possible without the strangling effect you see on lots of types of harnesses and leads.
– You can tell the build quality is excellent as soon as you unwrap the harness, the stithcing is reinforced, the material itself where not webbing appears to be hardwearing padded cordura.
– Its super simple to place over your dogs head then a quick clip together of the seatbelt like fixing buckle. Other products we have tried required one leg through this hole, another leg through that hole, it became a chore and at times distressing for the dog, this takes a few seconds.
– We picked up two to get the right size, at the time our dog had a chest of i think 21inches and weighed circa 13kg. A size Mini was picked – however she has now outgrown this, so we have just ordered a size 0 – As a tip whilst it may be a pain you could be better off ordering two sizes then returning one if your dog is borderline on the size charts between two.
– There is a good level of adjustment on the buckle strap so you can adjust your fit, we found this really useful as much like humans if the dog has eaten a lot she might have a fuller tummy, when in super wet conditions as per the pictures she sometimes has a fleece on, the adjustments can be made quickly and easily so as not to cause discomfort.
– Functionally this really has reduced the pull factor, it has not eliminated it nor did we expect it to, we just wanted for her not to be hurting herself if pulling whilst on the lead. It really does do that. With some other harnesses you could see her walking and running gait change whilst wearing, indicating that the harness did not fit or was uncomfortable, with this that is not the case.
– Security wise, she has never slipped out, i read some reviews that said this might happen, it can happen with any harness and a determined dog in an ill fitted harness, we have not had an instance.
– The clip for the lead is just about right regards size, length and placement, it doesnt bang in to the dog whilst off the lead and is easily found whilst also trying to find a towel and treats, one handed operation is easy.
– Durability wise we bought this in October 2018, we are now having to replace it but only because our dog has gotten a little larger so a size 0 is a better fit. During this time it has been exclusively the only harness we use bar when on organised park runs for which she has a special running harness. For good housekeeping we wash between 3 and 4 times a week depending on the trails and water, sometimes more sometimes less, but always its a machine wash.
– Considering the amount of machine washing and 7 days a week walking this has been extremley durable. There are a couple of fabric grazes here and there, but there doesnt appear to be any structural issues, the panels are all intact, the lead anchor and belt clip both work fine and securely.
– If you are machine washing then to save wear and tear on your machine and the harness, buy a couple of cheap pillow cases and wash the harness inside those, will reduce noise too!
– Overall this is a fantastic product, well designed, durable, looks great, the dog is always happy to see it coming out of the cupboard and it really has changed how she walks, five stars.
One Very happy dog, two very happy owners with less shoulder and arm injuries!
Recent update…. I’ve removed one star as my dog managed to step backwards out of her harness. This product should come with a collar attachment as standard, buyer beware! This has reduced my dog pulling and I find I have more control. Fitting it correctly is essential, otherwise it’s likely to rub and cause sores. The build is sturdy and I like you can change the velcro signs or add its own carry bags. Handle at top is useful too.
All my dogs have these and my 21 week old Labrador has had them since a pup. I’ve had to buy 3 so far due to him growing but my older dog has had the same one for 5 years and it’s still as good as new and has been through the wash many times. My older dog even got attached in his and although not designed to do so it stopped his skin getting punctured by another dog. Will always use these.

Our Patterjack is very adept at squeezing his way out of most harnesses and this is the first we have found that he can’t wriggle through. Putting it on is a breeze, pop it over his head and clip the chest buckle in and there you are. It fits him comfortably and even when he pulls against the harness it keeps him secure.
The labels on the side of the harness are replaceable so if your dog is nervous or like ours, a bit of a git, then you can alert other owners to their behaviour. The labels also glow in the dark making your pooch a bit more visible in the dark.
I bought this harness for my Toy Poodle and it fits perfectly. The quality is first class, it slips on my dog effortlessly without bothering her at all, and I even bought replacement velcro labels for the sides, which can be FULLY customised even down to the Font and Colour. I recommend this harness to anyone and everyone who is looking for the perfect harness for their dog
I use this for my Frenchie, he is five months old and it fits him great. It is sturdy and so easy to put on and take off.
I wouldn’t have any other make.
I also now have the same harness in the same size for my three year old Frenchie. Perfect size and fit with lots of adjustment.
Highly recommended

We got Mini Mini size for our 6kg Chug, she hates putting any harness on but this one is a lot less fussy as slips over her head and a bigger buckle at the side than her last harness.
However, there has been one incident where she has slipped out of it! Luckily we were talking to a neighbour and I grabbed her quickly. It was because she is on a splitter with one of my other dogs and the other one jumped up on to next doors driver which is about 50cm higher than ours and she didn’t go with her and instead of staying in the harness it came off still buckled. Which leads me to believe if she pulled back hard enough while my other dog was going forward it would pop off again.
Still using but with caution, otherwise it’s a lovely harness and there is a high vis bit on it for night time, she looks great and seems comfortable. She has a slightly extended rib cage and a lot of harnesses don’t fit her as well as this one.
Wanted a Julius K9 for a long time but was put off by the cost and uncertainty about the control it would give me over my 2 lively springer spaniels. Having used this for a few weeks I wish I had purchased one much sooner. Springers are notorious pullers but with this harness the dogs are amazingly transformed. Total control and no pulling. My wife loves them too, she can now take the dogs out without fearing they will pull her in two. Well worth the money, super quality, perfect fit and importantly the dogs like to wear them without giving them any discomfort.
Brilliant product – I have smaller dogs, so the design is wonderful for not pulling on their necks. There is a handle at the top of the harness that Velcro’s down – which would come in handy should I need to pick them up quickly! The only thing I would say – is check the weight advisory to get an accurate fit. The mini mini fits my cavalier cross spitz and my terrier has ended up with a baby 1! The size 0 I ordered has gone to a friends staffy. I’m absolutely over the moon with this purchase! Thank you!

Good sturdy harness. Bought it for my Springer, and it seems to have reduced how much he pulls, more because he loses traction with his front feet if he tries to pull to hard. I only use it for walking and take it off when he’s off lead as it seems to affect his movement a bit when he’s running. Also when he’s convinced people we’ve met to give him a belly rub he has managed to get one leg through the head hole while he’s been rolling around. Otherwise I really like it, and the handle is really solid and helped keep him nice and secure on a recent boat trip.

Bought this for our Jack Russell pup. I measured her and weighed her and it fits perfectly. The colour is lovely too. I feel a lot more secure using this rather than a collar that she can either slip out of or which she throttles herself with if she sees something exciting. The strip is reflective which is good for the darker mornings and evening and the badge (the bit which says Julius K9) glows in the dark. The little one doesn’t have a handle, but we’ve used the metal ring to pick her up and it was fine. It’s adjustable so it should last her a while as she grows. Very happy with the purchase.
As always Julius k9 lives up to its name with quality, practicality and comfort! Love that it has the handle on top and has a torch holder and side bags can also be purchased and attached. So good for growing with your dog too! My last one lasted my dog from 3 months til adulthood. Only reason I’m replacing it is cuz my dog ate the last one LOL!
Fantastic harness!! Our pomeranian loved the Baby1 size from 8 weeks old when she arrived with us until now at 5 months when she could still wear it for another month or so but we will be ordering Baby2 so she has more room. With such a trusted make, we had no concerns about our pups safety or comfort, she enjoyed the harness from first wear. The labels are velcro so we were able to buy personalised ones as she aids my sons anxiety. I bought a cheaper harness initially which was uncomfortable on her and less sturdy so with enough wriggling she could get her front paw trapped which is why we paid extra for this one, heartily recommend.
My french bulldog has been wearing this harness for 6 months now and it still looks like new. When it gets a bit dirty I throw it into the washing machine and it comes up like new. Well fitted, lovely bright pink, very sturdy wouldn’t even consider buying anything else
Brought a size 2 for our new rescue dog, we measured our other dog a golden retriever as we thought the size would be suitable for him. When our rescue arrived he was a lot smaller and lighter in weight. So the harness was too big and he slipped out of it once. So bought 2 sizes smaller and fits perfect.
Easy to fit to the correct size you need.
Easy to put on once set up
Very sturdy
The handle on the back is good so you can grab your dog easier if necessary, especially if you have rescue and the don’t like being handled.
Highly recommend this harness.
We used to use a harness were our puppy’s head was put through, she got so distressed as she didn’t like this being put on. After talking to a friend who uses the K9 harness and had nothing but good things to say about it we decided to purchase one. Best thing we have bought for her training. She doesn’t get so stressed out now as you just place the harness over her head not through it. Thank you so much for designed such a comfortable harness.
Went off the given measurements and size, this fits but the chest strap seems to close to her front legs. Even with it snugly fastened she managed to pull herself out of it!. It does work ok when she is walking in front leading the way as she pushes into it. The build quality is great, pity there isn’t an option to have your dogs name on it through, gets tiring keep telling people she isn’t called Julius! All that said, much prefer her on this to a collar.
Just back from first walk with my two dogs wearing the harnesses. The little one Teddy (Maltese/Shitzu) aged 4, didn’t like it at first and kept turning round but soon got over that. The other one, Benji, a 10 year old Cavachon, was very happy to put it on (means walkies!) but is always easy going about the peripheral stuff in life anyway.
I kept the walk short in case they were unhappy about wearing what are quite stiff harnesses (hope they soften up a bit) but have to report that I was amazed at how much better they behaved than usual – no pulling on the lead! I’ve used soft Puppia harnesses before, which look very cute, but aren’t designed to do the same job as these.
I bought “mini-mini” for Teddy and size 0 for Benji and, after adjusting the girths and front strap, both fit really well. They are on the generous size and I went by the weight as well as the chest measurement.
Very impressed and glad I bought them. You won’t regret this purchase!
Bought this as I didn’t like the idea of having to pull on my dogs neck collar when I needed him to speed up (such as when crossing a busy road) as he is a Westie 12 yrs old. Several friends have these on bigger dogs so thought I’d give it a go. Secure, easy to use fitting, fully adjustable and florescent writing that is reflective at night so good for others visibility. My dog seems to love it (only use when I’m out on walks) as happy to run about over the park with it on (as doesn’t restrict his movement). I would thoroughly recommend as secure and safe and not using a lead on a dogs collar protects your dogs neck. 5 Stars.
I’m a bit disappointed in the overall quality and poor attention to the detail of this harness; the webbing is too wide for the plastic clips and will very probably fray at the edges, the material is very stiff and doesn’t easily conform to my JRT’s body shape. The size Mini-Mini is recommended for his dimensions but I think he will be able to reverse out of it when adjusted to the correct position and therefore I will be adding an additional security clip to his collar.
On the plus side; he hasn’t been pulling on the lead anything like as much since having it so it does appear to work as stated, time will tell if this is a long term affect though!
I have added a star as the product has proved to be robust in use. It’s been to the beach frequently and has survived swimming and salt water although has suffered from some staining which is to be expected.
This harness is lovely …I bought it for my 13 week old Lhasapoo and purchased the BABY 2. It fits fine on the smallest it will go and there is plenty of room for growth . My dog doesn’t struggle when he has it put on and he walks lovely in it . There are lots of fakes out there and I was unsure about this one as it say ” Glows in the dark”… the ones advertised and on K9 website they say Glow in the dark”…. apparently after some research the Velcro side labels can say either . It did panic me at first but the quality speaks for itself . This is a genuine product and I’ve researched it over and over and can now confirm that it is an original. A great price for the Baby 2 as it was on offer . I got the black one and although my dog is black you can still see them because of the reflective strips and straps . So pleased I bought this as I know I will be now purchasing the larger one as he grows. Fast delivery too
We bought a Halti harness on the recommendation of the people we got the dog from and he managed to tear one of the straps inside of a week! He’s had this for nearly two weeks now and, although he’s not overly fond of it, it’s strong, durable and comfortable enough that he tolerates it. He is a thin but sturdy dog so it doesn’t sit as well on him as it possibly should do. We’ve tightened the various straps but he has a broad chest and thin neck so can get his lower jaw under the front strap when he’s letting us know he’s not happy about being in a harness, mostly because it’s a lot of material for a warm summer’s day. Most of the time he wears this happily, will stop him if he tries to sprint after something without causing him any undue harm beyond being stopped mid-run and most of the time he tolerates it well. Would definitely buy again.
This harness is great for my Cockapoo. I love the handle, the fact that it’s reflective and the size of the clip in the back. Washes well too! This is the first time I have purchased this harness type and it is the best I have bought so far for Monty. However my dog walks in front of me and the harness suits this. If you have a dog that walks behind, and occasionally need to be ‘pulled’ I can imagine the harness design not been beneficial as it could lift the harness.
I am a dog walker and deal with lots of different designed harnesses, this one is great as it stays in place whilst the dog does their dog thing!
This is the 4th no pull harness I’ve bought for my 35kg Staffy x Mastiff in 18 months. The first 2 snapped because he pulled too much, the third one was great – until I had to drag him away from a woman in the vets with 2 kittens in a cat carrier and the elastic straps that did the harness up stretched and snapped. So I was recommended the Julius K-9 by a friend. I’ve only had it for 5 days but it’s working well. No elastic straps to snap, the fastener on this is made from very strong material the same as seatbelts. The chest strap is the same and is fastened by Velcro and easily adjusted. All in all it’s well made, strong and glows in the dark.
This is a great harness for my Labrador cross Flat Coated Retriever in nearly every way but with one big note of caution – it is not 100% secure and even with correct adjustment my dog can reverse out of it. Very luckily when she did this we were on a walk in a field well away from roads and traffic and it did not have serious consequences, if it had happened walking on a pavement by a busy road there could have been a very different outcome. I’m now trying to find a way of linking her collar to the harness as a type of safety mechanism so if she tries to reverse out of the harness again she’ll still be attached by the collar. Do be careful if opting for this product.
Bought this as saw several other similar sized dogs wearing them.
Very happy that I did.
Bought a Size 1 … slightly too big for my medium sized bordoodle but it’s not a problem…. but it has made a massive difference for him over wearing a collar ( other harnesses he’s ether broken , escaped from, eaten through).
He’s gone from pulling (no matter what type of collar) to now mostly walking by my side. He still pulls on the way to the park to play…but it’s much easier to reign him in.
Wife and kids also feel confident using this – as it’s easy on , easy off, easy to attached the lead.
Everything about it is big and chunky. No fiddling with clips and hoops and fiddly fitting instructions.
After a couple of weeks use it’s definitely a good purchase.
Julius is the best harness you could by. The offer different styles and sizes to fit any dog and there needs. If you have a stronger dog this is ideal as the harness clip is located in the centre of there back which is perfect to give that little tug or nudge in the right direction. Great when use with Flexi Lead for recall training as dogs will feel as if there off there lead. Little flick on the lead allow the dog to learn the response to come back in addition to calling out. There great products made to a extraordinary high standard for even the toughest of dogs and chewers. Product is stitched well, has adoptions for flash light or other accessories and the craftsmanship won’t fail you. You’ll feel save knowing this harness will give you full control of your dog and feel safe while using it. Theres many types of harness offered by Julius all to a high standard and quality. Don’t pay pets @ home prices for a 2nd rats harness. Everyone I know involved with dogs professionals recommend Julius.
Got this for my labrador( he is quite a big dog even for labrador and size 3 seems to fit him perfectly), it is a first harness as previously we used the neck collar, the dog seem to really like wearing it and did not try to take it off. It is also very durable we had this for around 6 months and it doesn’t show any signs of wear even though he goes swimming with it and doing lots of other outdoor activities. It also has visibility stripes and it reflects the light which is great for evening walks. Overall very happy with the item.

I have 7 of these for my dogs they are perfect make sure tho u get the right fit as can be a tad on big size for my shitzu we use mini mini which is perfect but u would not nec think that size as it sounds too small.. just make sure u measure it dog as if it’s too loose it defeats the purpose and can rub but when fitted perfectly they are the best out there!!! Plus for a nervous dog that little bit of weight helps ease some stress
Great product but the sizing information is very misleading. The description on Amazon fitted the size and weight of my dog. However when I tried it on, it was massive! Looking at the label the size was the same ( 1) but the weight was a lot bigger than initially listed and I ended up with a harness for a 30kg dog, when my dog is at her heaviest at 20kg. As I didn’t spot the mistake, until we’d returned from a very uncomfortable walk ( catching on the top of dog’s legs), the item is now non returnable. I’m not happy as it’s totally unsuitable for my dog and it wasn’t cheap. Other than that I can recommend but check your sizes very carefully- apart from being uncomfortable, the dog can slip out.
Ollie is a medium sized dog but very sturdy and strong. I didn’t like using a collar on him as it pulled on his neck. This harness is brilliant, very strong,and he appears to be very comfortable in it. It’s also so easy to put on, in fact as soon as it appears he puts his head thru it, and it’s just a matter of clicking the one strap around his tummy. People who make negative comments about the size not fitting really need to check their dog. I went onto the K9 Julius website of how to measure your dog and chose the size recommended, fits perfectly. Would definitely recommend.
Absolutely love this harness for our 65kg Pyrenean Mountain Dog. He’s a bit excitable when out walking, only because he loves to meet everyone he sees **So the sturdy handle on the back of this harness is great to keep him close as people pass. I love the strong, adjustable velcro strap at the front too. The straps are wide & durable, and the metal ring for attaching the leash appears to be almost equestrian standard, perfect for giant breeds. The only thing they could improve on this harness would be to add some padding to the straps for comfort & to avoid chafing. But that’s something I can add myself. Overall, this harness is absolutely great value ( )
Clbre harnais, rien redire mis part que je n’en changerai plus maintenant !!! Lger, trs trs robuste, facile laver, ma chienne le prfre son ancien collier !!!
I absolutely love these harnesses. The mini size is perfect for my pug and well worth the money. Unfortunately my dog has a thing for chewing the slot of the buckle completely flat and if I’m careless with it for a second I have to buy another. That’s my fault, not the harness’s and I happily buy another every time. So I was horrified when I tried to replace it again the other week and it is now only available to Amazon Prime customers. I’m not happy. But if you’re a Prime Customer you won’t find a better harness. Edited:woo hoo! It’s not Prime only any more. I’ve already bought another!

I gave it 5 stars because just for once my arms weren’t dragged out of their sockets and my dog didn’t sound like she was being strangled to death. I have a young lab. If you have an energetic working type of lab you will need two as my dog forgot completely about wearing it and rolled, something she does frequently. It got mud encrusted but cleaned up well. It doesn’t stop pulling completely but it makes it more bearable. She did not dislike wearing it and made no attempt to get it off. Maybe I am wrong but this harness signals to her we are seriously walking together and I still use collar and lead for purely recreational. Well made and sturdy. I had another harness which fastened around her body and she ate through it on the car ferry. This is better. I have ordered another one
Tried several harnesses for my mini schnauzer and he hated most of them-particularly the type that pulled over his head like a jumper. Just got the Julius K9 and we are both very happy with it. The unit looks to be very well made of lightweight material and has several good features including a large solid D ring for clipping the lead and a very handy handle to grab wayward pooches. The sizing chart is bang on and the harness is fully adjustable. It has a velcro chest strap that once adjusted you shouldn’t need to touch again. It slips easily over the head and onto the chest (not the neck) and the unit is then secured by a belly strap that clips in easily. It’s also a very good looking piece of kit and the branding is on a velcro strip that you can remove. There are even some online companies that supply bespoke velcro strips that you can personalise. Overall very happy initially and the lower price makes it a real bargain.
I bought 2 of these harnesses for both of my Dogue De Bordeaux Mastiffs and they fit perfectly. There is a Velcro strap that goes around the chest area which can be altered to fit and also the strap under the body can be altered too. Sturdy handle on the top which gives extra hold which is great as one of my dogs is quite feisty and we can hold her back better this way than with just the lead. The front Velcro chest strap and name on the side glow in the dark when car lights hit which is great when near busy roads, also leaves a little glow on the name plate in total darkness. Great harnesses would defiantly recommend.
While my puppy still wears a collar with her ID tag on, we use a Julius K9 harness to clip her lead on when we go out for walks. There’s plenty of debate on why a harness is so much better for your dog’s well being than being led on a collar, and it doesn’t take much to realise why. The loads and forces that come down the lead are spread around the body of your dog and not concentrated on their neck. I’d not really thought about it until shopping for our puppy prior to getting her, however especially when on her longer training lead your dog can already be at quite a speed when they reach the end of the lead’s travel and are brought to an instant stop. I’d much rather that force isn’t around her neck.
We have a young Border Collie and as she grows I plan to replace my current mini sized harness with progressively larger ones. Do pay close attention though to the sizing as our harness was initially a little too big when we bought it, however she’s growing at such a rate that she’s filled it already.
Wanted another Golden Panda harness as our previous two have worn very well and suited our dogs. Unfortunately, could not order one in the correct size so looked at the Julius-K9 and decided to order one.
After following their sizing instructions, the harness fits our Collie extremely well. It appears to be a better quality harness than the Golden Panda and certainly the ring that the lead attaches to, is much sturdier. This harness also has fitment controls at the front as well as the strap that goes underneath the dog. Love it!
I have recently got a gorgeous Chi. Feeling rather overwhelmed with everything out there, i had bought a few harnesses beforehand. They just didnt fit right. He slipped one, the other seemed too tight etc. So after doing a bit of research I came across this one. A bit more expensive then most others but thought I’d give it a go as the reviews were great. And Wow I love it!!! Its first perfectly with plenty for room for growth (he’s full size but LOVES his food, so the belly is definately getting rounder haha) not only does it fit right but it looks great and very good quality and professional looking, Ive had a few comments from other dog owners on my daily walk. I’ve also discovered that I can get replacement velcro tags at the side of the Harness, personalised with his name!! overall I’m very happy with the harness and can see this lasting me a long time……think I’ll get another so I can have a change of colour 🙂
We bought this for our 6 month old GSD mostly to keep him secure in places like the car. We were able to fit him with a size 2 on the smallest setting which was great because this should hopefully fit him even as an adult. We use the harness whenever we go to a place where we know he will get over excited as the handle makes for much easier holding of him steady and means he isn’t choking himself like he can sometimes do when we just have his lead attached to his flat collar. The clip and strap feel secure and when fitted correctly he shouldn’t be able to back out of it. We have also ordered some bespoke name patches from the Julius K9 website so I’m looking forward to those arriving in the next few weeks.
This is a brilliant harness. Robust, strong, well made and very easy to fit to the dog.
We measured our 17-week old pup and the size 0 is a perfect fit for his measurements and weight, with plenty of room to grow yet. I also bought a size 1 which was a great price from Amazon Warehouse deals – it’ll fit him eventually but even though his measures are only slightly smaller his weight is a lot less and so it’s the two combined that’ll give you the best idea of fit.
We use it mainly to keep him safe in the car with a seatbelt lead to secure him but it’s also comfortable for him to be walked with too.
We chose the camouflage print because it should disguise the mud that I’m sure he will attract!
I have a border collie cross German Shepherd and I ordered a size 2 for my Dog.
The harness itself is absolutely fantastic and fits like a glove as Ace would say.
Very strong and very robust and I would highly recommend this harnesses to anybody. It keeps your dog secure and your in control. I also love the detachable velcro strips which you can replace with anything of your choice (sold separately) on eBay recommended.

Our cockapoo puppy wears this on walks and appears quite happy with it. Once sized using Velcro straps can be put on and taken off with ease. Very secure – bought this after she wriggled out of her collar on a walk. No chance of escaping with this on. Glow in the dark strips too so can track her in garden these dark winter nights. As she’s grown have altered straps and still plenty of grow room. Like the grab handle which lies flat when not needed.
Bought a black one from pets at home and a red one from here. The red one from amazon was much cheaper that the black one from pets at home. They are both sturdy enough to hold my 2 Labradors back if they see rabbits, cats, other dogs etc. I use the harnesses with Halti leads. (Size 2 harness for my labs)
The only thing is, the harness bought from here, doesn’t light up in the dark as my other harness does so I will buy a reflector for this harness. Overall though, I am very pleased.

This really is a great product. I bought it for my very exitable 1 year old working cocker spaniel. She did tend to walk quite well on a lead but could often encroach ahead and dive to get to birds. We bought this for her comfort also. It’s much easier to control the dog with it and probably feels better for her. She walks lovely on and shows no issue that it’s uncomfortable. It helped with the slight pulling also as the strap across the chest is a much better restraint. They fit nice and have plenty of room for adjusting. I would recommend these harnesses to anyone, strong, sturdy, comfortable and easy to wipe down it put in the washer
I tried to take a screen shot of a video with it on which is attached but slightky blurry!
The harness is well made and of good quality materials. The stitching is neat and overall looks very appealing to the eye and my dog looks smart!
It’s great for my strong puller who is anxious and can try and run off if scared so a safe strong harness was most important for me to not loose him. Love him to bits :0)
Size 2 fitted my cross retriever and his only shigjtly slimmer than an actual retriever so isn’t a small dog.
My only small design concern is the wide strapping across his chest, it’s great and keeps him safe and secure but because it’s strong Velcro it can rub my dogs front shoulder hair a little. Although he does pull so does cause this friction himself really. I could make a fleece sleeve to slip I’ve rwith I probably will in time. It’s a small issue compared to whole package and it is a good safe strong harness. I like it and would recommend for pullers as doesn’t hurt the dogs throat as is not too high up like some other harnesses! Top notch !! ;0)
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? Please check for correct size as these come in a vast variety of sizes and it’s so important to get a correct fit. Measure chest girth just behind the front legs for correct size. I bought the mini-mini size for my 10 week old Shiba Inu puppy and he’s still wearing it at 4 months and twice the weight, thanks to the generous adjustment at both the neck and chest, with plenty more growth adjustment left.
He loves wearing it; whenever I get it out for walkies he sits up wagging his tail waiting for me to put it on over his head and clip in round his chest. It’s so simple to put on and take off. He once managed to slip out of it after I loosened the chest strap too much following a growth adjustment. I won’t make that mistake again.
When used with a rain jacket I have the harness over the jacket which helps to keep Alfie snug and warm on a wet winter’s walk. The harness is strong, washes well in the machine and dries quickly over the radiator. The luminous branding is bright and easily seen on a dark night. I can’t fault this product and will buy again when he grows out of this one.
i originally bought this in size 3 from pets at home when his harness snapped whilst we were in there they gave me a size 3 said it would stop pulling and be wonderful well i went back 4 weeks later as my George had ripped off the back ring with his pulling they couldnt believe it and said must be faulty and replaced again 7 weeks later same happened they checked for teeth marks and found none so i went to write to julius and read up about the harness for a start he was in wrong size hence the strain on the ring and material i found out it has to be measured by kneck and chest gerth properly so i thought i would try one more time but from amazon pets at home think im nuts lol and wow i bought a size 2 he weighs 39kg its a good snug fit with lots of room for opening up straps for extra length
my daughter took him out last night in it and she was amazed at the difference in the pulling now he still pulled but so much less and she was actually in controll instead of a stuborn hard headed Akita
I went out with George again this morning and i could actually walk my boy for the first time in a long time so measurment is the key if he has room to move around he feels he can get loose so the pulling and wriggling is really bad but once he feels secure he walks and yep we still go where george wants to go but i dont mind that anymore coz i dont run behind looking like my arms being pulled off
Great harness, I have used this both on and off of the lead. Fortunately Bella isn’t a puller and is very obedient, I cant comment on the strength of this harness, but it is well made and seems pretty strong.
I walk Bella in the dark a lot so the fact the velcro stickers are “glow in the dark” is a major plus – they can also be customised! (if you dont get much sunlight on the harness, place the stickers near a lamp for about 10 minutes. The stickers will glow for a good few hours!)
So far I have used this harness in the warm weather (up to 35 Celsius and relatively cooler temps/wind + rain)
Bella is a 20kg staffie… size 0 was a good choice!
Overall this has been the best harness I have purchased and I’ve purchased a fair few, haha.
Definitely reccomend, when selecting the size, i reccomend you go by the weight of your dog rather than actual measurements! Good luck 🙂
My husband had been eyeing this harness ever since we got our now 7-month puppy but they were so expensive that we couldn’t really justify buying it. So, we got a different harness that was great, while it lasted… Our puppy decided that it was the best chew toy and managed to open a hole on the chest in a few weeks so I figured this was the perfect excuse to splurge on a Julius K9 harness. We are incredibly happy with it as it’s super easy to put on and she is always comfortable in it. The quality is fantastic and I can see it lasting for a long time. Putting on her is a breeze and she actually gets excited when she sees it and knows exactly what she needs to do to put it on. Don’t bother with a different harness, you won’t regret getting this one.
Can’t rate highly enough. Bought for my 47kg Deerhound. Taking him and his 45kg brother out together for walks on collars and leads was not an enjoyable experience. I initially bought one of the size 3 to try before immediately buying a second, size 2 for the smaller dog. The difference is remarkable. I now have more confidence walking them together and am a lot less stressed. The handle on the top is a bonus and provides even more control especially when we meet up with other dogs they’re keen to get to know. The fit and quality is extremely good. Has to be one of the best on the market.
Today I was out in a field walking my Black Lab in a field and my dog disappeared for a brief second and when I got to him what I had not realised was a disused canal that was full of water.
He was scrabbling to get out but it was a concrete edge he had fallen in. It was a shear drop and he could not get out . I had to get onto met stomach and slide down embankment I could reach his ear grabbed it to bring him closer to me and caught hold of his handle of his harness. How I found the strength to pull a wet lab out, who when dry weighs 30kg I do not know but I got him out. Shaking like a leaf I crawled up embankment with the help of him. Called my husband to come and get us . He had scrapped his front claws right down on the concrete edge,and I’ve got scrapped elbows and knees! But all in all he is ok when we got him home we showered him down. We are sat at home now, he has recovered and he seems ok but myself I think I needed a stiff whisky!
After trying numerous harnesses, finally found one that fits well for our 60Kg Mastiff cross. From pictures, it didn’t strike me as sturdy or robust enough for daily usage and abuse from a very active dog. Don’t let that fool you! I can get on in less that 2-3seconds and comes off almost instantly. The handle at the top is extremely secure and allows you to get a firm grip on your dog. The strap across the chest distributes the weight well and allows you handle powerful dogs with ease (of-course keeping in mind you train them not to pull!). The harness itself is quite light and is comfortable enough for our dog to wear all day on hot summer days walking in the forest or on the beach.
I must say after using many other harnesses on our Siberian Husky cross Malamute that this K9 harness is a real pleasure to fit, once you have got the front velcro strap measured to the size of your dogs chest that`s it – you don`t have to undo it again, its just a case of putting your dogs head through the front part and pushing it back so the saddle is on the dogs back – basically that is it, you just grab the strap that fits underneath and clip it together = Done ! It really is so simple to fit, great quality, strong, really well made and put together – and it looks great too.
——GOT A NEW ONE——
Got Julius k9 a long time ago and never looked back I have the mini mini for a shih tzu (age 3) and size 2 for a lab x shar pei (age 7month) this is the 2nd mini mini I have ordered due to the 1st one being black and getting hot in the sun it’s still got plenty of life left in it to say it’s over a year old my advice would be to go for a colour one as it will stay cooler in summer I went for blue for mini mini and red for size 2 and both are of great quality will deffo recommend
—OLD REVIEW—
Great product was recommended by a friend and my dog loves it had trouble with a different brand and style of harness rubbing under legs but with the Julius k9 there is no issue easy to put on and off and adjusting is simple I have done nothing but awnser questions in park about this product and I recommend to everyone
I was recommended these by a friend for my Chi, I was a little worried as on photos sometimes they look a little bulky.
I had nothing to worry about, the baby size 2 fits my Chi perfectly. It’s noce and light and not bulky or chunky at all, was easy to fit aswell. Noce and sturdy on walks and my chi seemed to be comfortable to. And the added bonus it glows in the dark and is waterproof. By far the best harness we have bought so far and for a perfect price! Highly recommended.
Our Molly looks so pretty in her new k9 Harness. She’s had a red one previously and this year fancied a change. This looks so nice in contrast to her bright pink bandana. The ‘Petrol Green’ is very bright, I’d describe like a turquoise on the side of a greenier shade.
Molly is a small/slender female Labrador and Size 1 fits her perfectly.
100% recommend these harnesses, they are brilliant!
One TINY niggle is that they seemed to have changed the design for the handle, her old one had a strap and popper to hold it down, this one is just strong velcro, which does the job but if you have it up and hold it the hooked velcro under the handle is a little spiky.
Lovely sturdy harness for my strong young lab. It fits snug around him with plenty of space to expand as he gets older. I really like that unlike a lot of other harnesses, the chest strap actually sits where it’s supposed to, around his chest! I got really frustrated with other harnesses sliding up to above the chest and resting closer to the neck – this one doesn’t which is fabulous. The whole thing just seems like it’s made to last and some of the simplest features like a large D ring attachment, strong clip and highly reflective/glow tabs make it so easy to use and good for day or night walking with a strong pup. If I could fault one thing it’s the handle. It’s quite rigid and there’s Velcro on the top of the harness/underside of the handle so if you grab onto it hastily you can get grazed knuckles from the rough side of the Velcro, and have the other side digging into your palm of the dog pulls. Given how infrequently I have to use the handle it’s not a huge issue but is a tad frustrating on the odd occasion I have to hold my dog back from something too exciting for commands or lead to be effective.
Nevertheless. This is by far the best harness I’ve brought, for a very reasonable price, and it’s simply marvellous in both build and functions. If by chance it would break, I’d be very hesitant to get any other style after having used the JuliusK9!
My Frenchmen grew out of his last harness which, I bought a new one which was too big and slipped and slid over him when he walked. I took a chance on this ordering the Mini (he has a 22in chest). The chance was worth it, it’s brilliant sturdy, the sides glow up in the dark which is brilliant as I live in the country so he gets seen easily by cars. You can wipe it down easily too. Great product would recommend I did read a review that said that their Frenchie got out, I don’t know how the Velcro is quite strong plus you’ve the support at the front and the clip underneath, even if the Velcro came undone the clip still has the dog secure in the harness.
We have two of these, one for our young Rotty x Shep x American Bull (45kg of muscle and pulling power) and our old Lab x Rotty x Shep.(which is the one i brought this for)
The younger dog has a high prey drive and will pull for anything small and furry so we need a harness which will last. I can say after 2 years of owning one its still in perfect working order, we have broken two leads but not the harness in that time.
My personal favourite thing is the handle on top, so useful when you need to keep him close and under control, was also very useful for our older dog (30kg) when she hurt her back leg while out on a long walk, she is too heavy to carry all that way and with very little other option (as i was out alone) i was able to use the handle to lift her up a bit and take the pressure of that leg till we got back home.
My dog is not a fan of harnesses, usually he runs away but he sits fairly still to get this on. I think he tolerates it because it makes walks less stressful for us both and he gets more freedom because I don’t feel any pulls as harshly. Love how it seems very padded and comfy for him. Handle on top is a great addition for when I need to keep a closer hold than lead. Clip is big and easy to use but I’m finding its getting a bit stiff on one side and doesnt want to clip in right away.
This is an excellent harness, we have had our male Staffie bull terrier for 4 years and I have always struggled to walk him with a traditional collar & lead, he always pulled and lunged excessively, I had so many people say to me “are you taking your dog for a walk or the other way around” so bad that I tried searching the internet for training advice from experts, but all failed, the only time he calmed down was after about 8 miles of walking when he was getting a bit tired, I bought this harness about 2 months ago and……. truly unbelievable results ever since, it’s now an absolute pleasure to be walking him.
This is the best product I have found for my Goldie who still pulls a lot aged 4! I’ve tried other harnesses, which were just hard work. Figure of 8 or halti type arrangement caused her stress and made people think she had a muzzle on. This Julius K9 harness fits well, looks great, is comfortable for the dog and best of all has stopped her pulling! She walks normally with no strain on my hands or wrists and seems very happy with it. I would certainly recommend this harness to anyone with strong dogs. Thank you!
a good product a strong and a well made harness, you can control a dog which pulls or is too excitable when meeting another dog on a tight path or pavement. I am quite impressed with the harness so far and intend to purchase the side packs which fit to it. I am a experienced dog owner and have never came up to a harness which promises to be this strong and a torch holder is a very good ideal as well although the torch needs to be a small Maglite type to fit the stretchable attachment.
Best harness we have ever had…easy to put on … Just put over the head of the dog and clip up one buckle. Our Cockerpoo Katy seems very comfortable in the K9.
I was a little jubious about buying this harness because my pup hates harnesses and tries to avoid them at all costs. My pup gets excited when she knows where she is going so pulls a lot and chokes herself and I fear she will slip her collar. So I bought Julius K9 Power harness in size Mini-Mini (She’s a Lhasapso X Toy Poodle) and it has done wonders! Not only does she not mind the harness on, but this is the first time I have walked her without her pulling! Needless to say we had a great walk. The harness is very comfortable, strong and secure and I would reccomend any day! P.S. If you don’t know your pup’s chest size, going by the weight is a good indicator too.
Got this for my chocolate Labrador. He’s got a barrel of a chest and this harness was a perfect fit. It’s really easy to fit and adjust the first time you put it on your dog. It has a glow in the dark strip across the front and 2 stickers (which are removable) and also are glow in the dark. The metal hoop on the top is very thick and sturdy so theres no way its going to break off. The handle on the top of the harness is convenient when you want to hold you dog still (for small dogs you can pick them up by this if needs be (mainly for emergency situations).
We mainly use it so that our other dog (a Siberian husky) who also has the same harness can be hooked up to our lab and they can go off lead together giving us piece of mind knowing our husky cant run off.
Cleaning wise just a damp cloth is enough to give it a good rub down.
This is the first premium dog harness I’ve bought for my lab and would recommend them to all dog owners. Bonus points of the cool orange colour as well
Really good harness, so good I bought two. One for light use and a second that I purchased the julius K9 saddlebags.
Primarily use the light use harness for casual walks no more than an hour. If we’re walking a longer distance or time she wears the saddlebagged one and carries a Tupperware box of water, spare dog bags, a ball or two and in the other my waterbottle and a first aid kit.
Would also recommend the Julius K9 colar for a GSD as its strong, wide and light.
All of their kit is made from material that is quick drying – the saddlebags have waterproof sections in them too. Great for when Storm decides a lake would look better with her in it!
Excellent harness. Have tried other types, but most of them chaffed around the inside top of the front legs, this harness doesn’t, it is an excellent fit really well shaped.
Was worried as other comments say dogs have escaped from the harness. No chance of that if the harness is properly adjusted. Feel really confident whilst walking my boisterous, continually pulling, excitable Podenco.
Really impressed with the overall quality and finish of the product would definitely recommend, and will buy again if we need a replacement.
We have just received the K-9 halter, as needed a larger size for our 6 year old Dalmation. It is a great fit for him. We have purchased several since we got Domino and none have been perfect, even though we purchased from pet stores who advised. I thought I would look on line this time, and saw the K-9 which amongst the pictures was a dalmation wearing one. I thought I would get one to try, following their sizing measurements. It is great, a good fit. The handle above the harness is sturdy and you can get a good hold of him if the need arise. There is also the bonus of the reflective front strap should he be walked in the dark, and it looks good on him. I am tempted to buy a Velcro strip which you can buy and replace the K-9 name with a name of your choice.
I received this yesterday and boy does it look the “Dog’s”. Dead easy to fit and put on my OESD/GSD, she has no problem with wearing it and already I have had comments on how good it looks. It’s early days but she doesn’t seem to be pulling as much on lead and it is so much easier to locate the ring on the back of the harness to put the lead on (she has quite long hair and usually finding the ring on her collar can be a pain). I have already order’d the “saddle bags” and can’t wait to get them so that she can start carrying some of her own stuff (with the dark nights coming, hopefully this will make a plain boring street walk a little more of an exercise session for her).

C’est le meilleur harnais ! Je l’utilise depuis les 4 mois de mon bouledogue franais (elle en a 6 maintenant et a lui va toujours 8kg)
I have two very wiggly sausage dogs and have struggled to find harnesses that I can quickly and easily get on and off, but these are perfect! Fewer nylon straps mean less chafing and the dogs are visibly more comfortable in these harnesses for long periods of time than others I’ve tried. The handle on top is also really useful to quickly grab them if necessary when they’re off the lead. I would highly recommend these harnesses; it’s absolutely worth spending the money.

My staffy girl loves it and it helps also with her constant pulling shes not the most friendliest of dogs so its good to know i have her well harnessed in when passing other dogs as she managed to slip other harnesses which has proved eventful to say the least
I ordered her a size 2 and she weighs 26kg bit on the fat side but she loves her food i would estimate this would fit any dog between 25kg – 45kg both straps are adjustable and i have hers on the smalles

However….
I’ve had some difficulties with our new puppy getting the right fit.
The mini mini is too big…and the Baby 2 which I have here would be perfect except,,,
The way the whole harness is fitted is crucial,,..it’s imperative that the front band sits exactly right round the neck in order that the harness makes the dog weighted in the middle when lifted Via back ring.
It is this feature which sets this harness apart,,,it is terribly practical, and there been many a time when my last dog was airlifted to safety!
So this Baby 2 harness is indeed the right size, but the design flaw lies in that front band, in that it does not allow for enough Adjustment with the Velcro….so once again I’ve had to laboriously sew in extra Velcro so I can get the correct fitting…
So I think the makers of the Julius K 9 harness need to look at other ways to adjust the front band.,.
Otherwise..as previously said…this is the best harness out there, and it gives you unrivalled comfortable control of your dog.
Really like this harness because it sits further down in the dog’s back, so doesn’t pull on their throat. Great for dogs who like to walk in front of you. However, if your dog walks behind you, and remains steadfast when they’ve found a scent and refuses to move, then pulling too hard can potentially cause them to completely slip the harness. Its fastened with a big clip underneath their body, but they can easily slip out backwards if not tight enough and you pull from the front. This may be obvious to most people but, as a first time dog owner, I wasn’t prepared for how strong and slippery the little darlings can be! We still use it, we’re just very careful about pulling it.
This was bought as a replacement for another K9 harness we already had for our cockapoo, she has grown in the year since we picked up the first one so the only reason another was purchased was because she needed a slightly bigger one, it is not a reflection of the product or its performance, more our weakness in giving out treats to the dog!
Below is the review for our original purchase and all of the points raised remain valid after a few weeks of extensive use of this new one, quality is not diminished and the dog is happier as she now has an extra notch on her belt 🙂
—————
We had tried all manner of halti leads, traditional collars, 3 point harnesses and more before we picked up this harness for our Cockapoo after seeing another Cockapoo sporting one in a park.
Our dog loves to pull ahead, its a constant when on the lead, we have tried to train her we have had three instructors to try and help but to no avail. With this in mind it was important for us to get a harness that firstly could help reduce this and more so made her as comfortable as possible without the strangling effect you see on lots of types of harnesses and leads.
– You can tell the build quality is excellent as soon as you unwrap the harness, the stithcing is reinforced, the material itself where not webbing appears to be hardwearing padded cordura.
– Its super simple to place over your dogs head then a quick clip together of the seatbelt like fixing buckle. Other products we have tried required one leg through this hole, another leg through that hole, it became a chore and at times distressing for the dog, this takes a few seconds.
– We picked up two to get the right size, at the time our dog had a chest of i think 21inches and weighed circa 13kg. A size Mini was picked – however she has now outgrown this, so we have just ordered a size 0 – As a tip whilst it may be a pain you could be better off ordering two sizes then returning one if your dog is borderline on the size charts between two.
– There is a good level of adjustment on the buckle strap so you can adjust your fit, we found this really useful as much like humans if the dog has eaten a lot she might have a fuller tummy, when in super wet conditions as per the pictures she sometimes has a fleece on, the adjustments can be made quickly and easily so as not to cause discomfort.
– Functionally this really has reduced the pull factor, it has not eliminated it nor did we expect it to, we just wanted for her not to be hurting herself if pulling whilst on the lead. It really does do that. With some other harnesses you could see her walking and running gait change whilst wearing, indicating that the harness did not fit or was uncomfortable, with this that is not the case.
– Security wise, she has never slipped out, i read some reviews that said this might happen, it can happen with any harness and a determined dog in an ill fitted harness, we have not had an instance.
– The clip for the lead is just about right regards size, length and placement, it doesnt bang in to the dog whilst off the lead and is easily found whilst also trying to find a towel and treats, one handed operation is easy.
– Durability wise we bought this in October 2018, we are now having to replace it but only because our dog has gotten a little larger so a size 0 is a better fit. During this time it has been exclusively the only harness we use bar when on organised park runs for which she has a special running harness. For good housekeeping we wash between 3 and 4 times a week depending on the trails and water, sometimes more sometimes less, but always its a machine wash.
– Considering the amount of machine washing and 7 days a week walking this has been extremley durable. There are a couple of fabric grazes here and there, but there doesnt appear to be any structural issues, the panels are all intact, the lead anchor and belt clip both work fine and securely.
– If you are machine washing then to save wear and tear on your machine and the harness, buy a couple of cheap pillow cases and wash the harness inside those, will reduce noise too!
– Overall this is a fantastic product, well designed, durable, looks great, the dog is always happy to see it coming out of the cupboard and it really has changed how she walks, five stars.
Recent update…. I’ve removed one star as my dog managed to step backwards out of her harness. This product should come with a collar attachment as standard, buyer beware! This has reduced my dog pulling and I find I have more control. Fitting it correctly is essential, otherwise it’s likely to rub and cause sores. The build is sturdy and I like you can change the velcro signs or add its own carry bags. Handle at top is useful too.
All my dogs have these and my 21 week old Labrador has had them since a pup. I’ve had to buy 3 so far due to him growing but my older dog has had the same one for 5 years and it’s still as good as new and has been through the wash many times. My older dog even got attached in his and although not designed to do so it stopped his skin getting punctured by another dog. Will always use these.

Our Patterjack is very adept at squeezing his way out of most harnesses and this is the first we have found that he can’t wriggle through. Putting it on is a breeze, pop it over his head and clip the chest buckle in and there you are. It fits him comfortably and even when he pulls against the harness it keeps him secure.
The labels on the side of the harness are replaceable so if your dog is nervous or like ours, a bit of a git, then you can alert other owners to their behaviour. The labels also glow in the dark making your pooch a bit more visible in the dark.
A great harness, well worth the money.
I bought this harness for my Toy Poodle and it fits perfectly. The quality is first class, it slips on my dog effortlessly without bothering her at all, and I even bought replacement velcro labels for the sides, which can be FULLY customised even down to the Font and Colour. I recommend this harness to anyone and everyone who is looking for the perfect harness for their dog
I wouldn’t have any other make.
I also now have the same harness in the same size for my three year old Frenchie. Perfect size and fit with lots of adjustment.
Highly recommended

However, there has been one incident where she has slipped out of it! Luckily we were talking to a neighbour and I grabbed her quickly. It was because she is on a splitter with one of my other dogs and the other one jumped up on to next doors driver which is about 50cm higher than ours and she didn’t go with her and instead of staying in the harness it came off still buckled. Which leads me to believe if she pulled back hard enough while my other dog was going forward it would pop off again.
Still using but with caution, otherwise it’s a lovely harness and there is a high vis bit on it for night time, she looks great and seems comfortable. She has a slightly extended rib cage and a lot of harnesses don’t fit her as well as this one.
Brilliant product – I have smaller dogs, so the design is wonderful for not pulling on their necks. There is a handle at the top of the harness that Velcro’s down – which would come in handy should I need to pick them up quickly! The only thing I would say – is check the weight advisory to get an accurate fit. The mini mini fits my cavalier cross spitz and my terrier has ended up with a baby 1! The size 0 I ordered has gone to a friends staffy. I’m absolutely over the moon with this purchase! Thank you!

Good sturdy harness. Bought it for my Springer, and it seems to have reduced how much he pulls, more because he loses traction with his front feet if he tries to pull to hard. I only use it for walking and take it off when he’s off lead as it seems to affect his movement a bit when he’s running. Also when he’s convinced people we’ve met to give him a belly rub he has managed to get one leg through the head hole while he’s been rolling around. Otherwise I really like it, and the handle is really solid and helped keep him nice and secure on a recent boat trip.

Fantastic harness!! Our pomeranian loved the Baby1 size from 8 weeks old when she arrived with us until now at 5 months when she could still wear it for another month or so but we will be ordering Baby2 so she has more room. With such a trusted make, we had no concerns about our pups safety or comfort, she enjoyed the harness from first wear. The labels are velcro so we were able to buy personalised ones as she aids my sons anxiety. I bought a cheaper harness initially which was uncomfortable on her and less sturdy so with enough wriggling she could get her front paw trapped which is why we paid extra for this one, heartily recommend.
My french bulldog has been wearing this harness for 6 months now and it still looks like new. When it gets a bit dirty I throw it into the washing machine and it comes up like new. Well fitted, lovely bright pink, very sturdy wouldn’t even consider buying anything else
Brought a size 2 for our new rescue dog, we measured our other dog a golden retriever as we thought the size would be suitable for him. When our rescue arrived he was a lot smaller and lighter in weight. So the harness was too big and he slipped out of it once. So bought 2 sizes smaller and fits perfect.
Easy to fit to the correct size you need.
Easy to put on once set up
Very sturdy
The handle on the back is good so you can grab your dog easier if necessary, especially if you have rescue and the don’t like being handled.
Highly recommend this harness.
We used to use a harness were our puppy’s head was put through, she got so distressed as she didn’t like this being put on. After talking to a friend who uses the K9 harness and had nothing but good things to say about it we decided to purchase one. Best thing we have bought for her training. She doesn’t get so stressed out now as you just place the harness over her head not through it. Thank you so much for designed such a comfortable harness.
Went off the given measurements and size, this fits but the chest strap seems to close to her front legs. Even with it snugly fastened she managed to pull herself out of it!. It does work ok when she is walking in front leading the way as she pushes into it. The build quality is great, pity there isn’t an option to have your dogs name on it through, gets tiring keep telling people she isn’t called Julius! All that said, much prefer her on this to a collar.
Just back from first walk with my two dogs wearing the harnesses. The little one Teddy (Maltese/Shitzu) aged 4, didn’t like it at first and kept turning round but soon got over that. The other one, Benji, a 10 year old Cavachon, was very happy to put it on (means walkies!) but is always easy going about the peripheral stuff in life anyway.
I kept the walk short in case they were unhappy about wearing what are quite stiff harnesses (hope they soften up a bit) but have to report that I was amazed at how much better they behaved than usual – no pulling on the lead! I’ve used soft Puppia harnesses before, which look very cute, but aren’t designed to do the same job as these.
I bought “mini-mini” for Teddy and size 0 for Benji and, after adjusting the girths and front strap, both fit really well. They are on the generous size and I went by the weight as well as the chest measurement.
Very impressed and glad I bought them. You won’t regret this purchase!
Bought this as I didn’t like the idea of having to pull on my dogs neck collar when I needed him to speed up (such as when crossing a busy road) as he is a Westie 12 yrs old. Several friends have these on bigger dogs so thought I’d give it a go. Secure, easy to use fitting, fully adjustable and florescent writing that is reflective at night so good for others visibility. My dog seems to love it (only use when I’m out on walks) as happy to run about over the park with it on (as doesn’t restrict his movement). I would thoroughly recommend as secure and safe and not using a lead on a dogs collar protects your dogs neck. 5 Stars.
I’m a bit disappointed in the overall quality and poor attention to the detail of this harness; the webbing is too wide for the plastic clips and will very probably fray at the edges, the material is very stiff and doesn’t easily conform to my JRT’s body shape. The size Mini-Mini is recommended for his dimensions but I think he will be able to reverse out of it when adjusted to the correct position and therefore I will be adding an additional security clip to his collar.
On the plus side; he hasn’t been pulling on the lead anything like as much since having it so it does appear to work as stated, time will tell if this is a long term affect though!
I have added a star as the product has proved to be robust in use. It’s been to the beach frequently and has survived swimming and salt water although has suffered from some staining which is to be expected.
This harness is lovely …I bought it for my 13 week old Lhasapoo and purchased the BABY 2. It fits fine on the smallest it will go and there is plenty of room for growth . My dog doesn’t struggle when he has it put on and he walks lovely in it . There are lots of fakes out there and I was unsure about this one as it say ” Glows in the dark”… the ones advertised and on K9 website they say Glow in the dark”…. apparently after some research the Velcro side labels can say either . It did panic me at first but the quality speaks for itself . This is a genuine product and I’ve researched it over and over and can now confirm that it is an original. A great price for the Baby 2 as it was on offer . I got the black one and although my dog is black you can still see them because of the reflective strips and straps . So pleased I bought this as I know I will be now purchasing the larger one as he grows. Fast delivery too
We bought a Halti harness on the recommendation of the people we got the dog from and he managed to tear one of the straps inside of a week! He’s had this for nearly two weeks now and, although he’s not overly fond of it, it’s strong, durable and comfortable enough that he tolerates it. He is a thin but sturdy dog so it doesn’t sit as well on him as it possibly should do. We’ve tightened the various straps but he has a broad chest and thin neck so can get his lower jaw under the front strap when he’s letting us know he’s not happy about being in a harness, mostly because it’s a lot of material for a warm summer’s day. Most of the time he wears this happily, will stop him if he tries to sprint after something without causing him any undue harm beyond being stopped mid-run and most of the time he tolerates it well. Would definitely buy again.
This harness is great for my Cockapoo. I love the handle, the fact that it’s reflective and the size of the clip in the back. Washes well too! This is the first time I have purchased this harness type and it is the best I have bought so far for Monty. However my dog walks in front of me and the harness suits this. If you have a dog that walks behind, and occasionally need to be ‘pulled’ I can imagine the harness design not been beneficial as it could lift the harness.
I am a dog walker and deal with lots of different designed harnesses, this one is great as it stays in place whilst the dog does their dog thing!
This is the 4th no pull harness I’ve bought for my 35kg Staffy x Mastiff in 18 months. The first 2 snapped because he pulled too much, the third one was great – until I had to drag him away from a woman in the vets with 2 kittens in a cat carrier and the elastic straps that did the harness up stretched and snapped. So I was recommended the Julius K-9 by a friend. I’ve only had it for 5 days but it’s working well. No elastic straps to snap, the fastener on this is made from very strong material the same as seatbelts. The chest strap is the same and is fastened by Velcro and easily adjusted. All in all it’s well made, strong and glows in the dark.
Bought this as saw several other similar sized dogs wearing them.
Very happy that I did.
Bought a Size 1 … slightly too big for my medium sized bordoodle but it’s not a problem…. but it has made a massive difference for him over wearing a collar ( other harnesses he’s ether broken , escaped from, eaten through).
He’s gone from pulling (no matter what type of collar) to now mostly walking by my side. He still pulls on the way to the park to play…but it’s much easier to reign him in.
Wife and kids also feel confident using this – as it’s easy on , easy off, easy to attached the lead.
Everything about it is big and chunky. No fiddling with clips and hoops and fiddly fitting instructions.
After a couple of weeks use it’s definitely a good purchase.
Got this for my labrador( he is quite a big dog even for labrador and size 3 seems to fit him perfectly), it is a first harness as previously we used the neck collar, the dog seem to really like wearing it and did not try to take it off. It is also very durable we had this for around 6 months and it doesn’t show any signs of wear even though he goes swimming with it and doing lots of other outdoor activities. It also has visibility stripes and it reflects the light which is great for evening walks. Overall very happy with the item.

Absolutely love this harness for our 65kg Pyrenean Mountain Dog. He’s a bit excitable when out walking, only because he loves to meet everyone he sees **So the sturdy handle on the back of this harness is great to keep him close as people pass. I love the strong, adjustable velcro strap at the front too. The straps are wide & durable, and the metal ring for attaching the leash appears to be almost equestrian standard, perfect for giant breeds. The only thing they could improve on this harness would be to add some padding to the straps for comfort & to avoid chafing. But that’s something I can add myself. Overall, this harness is absolutely great value ( )
Clbre harnais, rien redire mis part que je n’en changerai plus maintenant !!! Lger, trs trs robuste, facile laver, ma chienne le prfre son ancien collier !!!
It fit my one year old corgi perfect! She was 18.5″ around and she weighs about 20 lbs and it had just enough room to wiggle. Super cute!
I absolutely love these harnesses. The mini size is perfect for my pug and well worth the money. Unfortunately my dog has a thing for chewing the slot of the buckle completely flat and if I’m careless with it for a second I have to buy another. That’s my fault, not the harness’s and I happily buy another every time. So I was horrified when I tried to replace it again the other week and it is now only available to Amazon Prime customers. I’m not happy. But if you’re a Prime Customer you won’t find a better harness. Edited:woo hoo! It’s not Prime only any more. I’ve already bought another!

I gave it 5 stars because just for once my arms weren’t dragged out of their sockets and my dog didn’t sound like she was being strangled to death. I have a young lab. If you have an energetic working type of lab you will need two as my dog forgot completely about wearing it and rolled, something she does frequently. It got mud encrusted but cleaned up well. It doesn’t stop pulling completely but it makes it more bearable. She did not dislike wearing it and made no attempt to get it off. Maybe I am wrong but this harness signals to her we are seriously walking together and I still use collar and lead for purely recreational. Well made and sturdy. I had another harness which fastened around her body and she ate through it on the car ferry. This is better. I have ordered another one
Tried several harnesses for my mini schnauzer and he hated most of them-particularly the type that pulled over his head like a jumper. Just got the Julius K9 and we are both very happy with it. The unit looks to be very well made of lightweight material and has several good features including a large solid D ring for clipping the lead and a very handy handle to grab wayward pooches. The sizing chart is bang on and the harness is fully adjustable. It has a velcro chest strap that once adjusted you shouldn’t need to touch again. It slips easily over the head and onto the chest (not the neck) and the unit is then secured by a belly strap that clips in easily. It’s also a very good looking piece of kit and the branding is on a velcro strip that you can remove. There are even some online companies that supply bespoke velcro strips that you can personalise. Overall very happy initially and the lower price makes it a real bargain.
I bought 2 of these harnesses for both of my Dogue De Bordeaux Mastiffs and they fit perfectly. There is a Velcro strap that goes around the chest area which can be altered to fit and also the strap under the body can be altered too. Sturdy handle on the top which gives extra hold which is great as one of my dogs is quite feisty and we can hold her back better this way than with just the lead. The front Velcro chest strap and name on the side glow in the dark when car lights hit which is great when near busy roads, also leaves a little glow on the name plate in total darkness. Great harnesses would defiantly recommend.
We have a young Border Collie and as she grows I plan to replace my current mini sized harness with progressively larger ones. Do pay close attention though to the sizing as our harness was initially a little too big when we bought it, however she’s growing at such a rate that she’s filled it already.
Wanted another Golden Panda harness as our previous two have worn very well and suited our dogs. Unfortunately, could not order one in the correct size so looked at the Julius-K9 and decided to order one.
After following their sizing instructions, the harness fits our Collie extremely well. It appears to be a better quality harness than the Golden Panda and certainly the ring that the lead attaches to, is much sturdier. This harness also has fitment controls at the front as well as the strap that goes underneath the dog. Love it!
We measured our 17-week old pup and the size 0 is a perfect fit for his measurements and weight, with plenty of room to grow yet. I also bought a size 1 which was a great price from Amazon Warehouse deals – it’ll fit him eventually but even though his measures are only slightly smaller his weight is a lot less and so it’s the two combined that’ll give you the best idea of fit.
We use it mainly to keep him safe in the car with a seatbelt lead to secure him but it’s also comfortable for him to be walked with too.
We chose the camouflage print because it should disguise the mud that I’m sure he will attract!
I’d thoroughly recommend this harness.
The harness itself is absolutely fantastic and fits like a glove as Ace would say.
Very strong and very robust and I would highly recommend this harnesses to anybody. It keeps your dog secure and your in control. I also love the detachable velcro strips which you can replace with anything of your choice (sold separately) on eBay recommended.

Bought a black one from pets at home and a red one from here. The red one from amazon was much cheaper that the black one from pets at home. They are both sturdy enough to hold my 2 Labradors back if they see rabbits, cats, other dogs etc. I use the harnesses with Halti leads. (Size 2 harness for my labs)
The only thing is, the harness bought from here, doesn’t light up in the dark as my other harness does so I will buy a reflector for this harness. Overall though, I am very pleased.

This really is a great product. I bought it for my very exitable 1 year old working cocker spaniel. She did tend to walk quite well on a lead but could often encroach ahead and dive to get to birds. We bought this for her comfort also. It’s much easier to control the dog with it and probably feels better for her. She walks lovely on and shows no issue that it’s uncomfortable. It helped with the slight pulling also as the strap across the chest is a much better restraint. They fit nice and have plenty of room for adjusting. I would recommend these harnesses to anyone, strong, sturdy, comfortable and easy to wipe down it put in the washer
I tried to take a screen shot of a video with it on which is attached but slightky blurry!
The harness is well made and of good quality materials. The stitching is neat and overall looks very appealing to the eye and my dog looks smart!
It’s great for my strong puller who is anxious and can try and run off if scared so a safe strong harness was most important for me to not loose him. Love him to bits :0)
Size 2 fitted my cross retriever and his only shigjtly slimmer than an actual retriever so isn’t a small dog.
My only small design concern is the wide strapping across his chest, it’s great and keeps him safe and secure but because it’s strong Velcro it can rub my dogs front shoulder hair a little. Although he does pull so does cause this friction himself really. I could make a fleece sleeve to slip I’ve rwith I probably will in time. It’s a small issue compared to whole package and it is a good safe strong harness. I like it and would recommend for pullers as doesn’t hurt the dogs throat as is not too high up like some other harnesses! Top notch !! ;0)
Facile mettre sur ma chienne. La taille est parfaite et le rglage se fait facilement. Choix de la couleur. Existe en plusieurs tailles.
Reu rapideme
He loves wearing it; whenever I get it out for walkies he sits up wagging his tail waiting for me to put it on over his head and clip in round his chest. It’s so simple to put on and take off. He once managed to slip out of it after I loosened the chest strap too much following a growth adjustment. I won’t make that mistake again.
When used with a rain jacket I have the harness over the jacket which helps to keep Alfie snug and warm on a wet winter’s walk. The harness is strong, washes well in the machine and dries quickly over the radiator. The luminous branding is bright and easily seen on a dark night. I can’t fault this product and will buy again when he grows out of this one.
my daughter took him out last night in it and she was amazed at the difference in the pulling now he still pulled but so much less and she was actually in controll instead of a stuborn hard headed Akita
I went out with George again this morning and i could actually walk my boy for the first time in a long time so measurment is the key if he has room to move around he feels he can get loose so the pulling and wriggling is really bad but once he feels secure he walks and yep we still go where george wants to go but i dont mind that anymore coz i dont run behind looking like my arms being pulled off
I walk Bella in the dark a lot so the fact the velcro stickers are “glow in the dark” is a major plus – they can also be customised! (if you dont get much sunlight on the harness, place the stickers near a lamp for about 10 minutes. The stickers will glow for a good few hours!)
So far I have used this harness in the warm weather (up to 35 Celsius and relatively cooler temps/wind + rain)
Bella is a 20kg staffie… size 0 was a good choice!
Overall this has been the best harness I have purchased and I’ve purchased a fair few, haha.
Definitely reccomend, when selecting the size, i reccomend you go by the weight of your dog rather than actual measurements! Good luck 🙂
Can’t rate highly enough. Bought for my 47kg Deerhound. Taking him and his 45kg brother out together for walks on collars and leads was not an enjoyable experience. I initially bought one of the size 3 to try before immediately buying a second, size 2 for the smaller dog. The difference is remarkable. I now have more confidence walking them together and am a lot less stressed. The handle on the top is a bonus and provides even more control especially when we meet up with other dogs they’re keen to get to know. The fit and quality is extremely good. Has to be one of the best on the market.
He was scrabbling to get out but it was a concrete edge he had fallen in. It was a shear drop and he could not get out . I had to get onto met stomach and slide down embankment I could reach his ear grabbed it to bring him closer to me and caught hold of his handle of his harness. How I found the strength to pull a wet lab out, who when dry weighs 30kg I do not know but I got him out. Shaking like a leaf I crawled up embankment with the help of him. Called my husband to come and get us . He had scrapped his front claws right down on the concrete edge,and I’ve got scrapped elbows and knees! But all in all he is ok when we got him home we showered him down. We are sat at home now, he has recovered and he seems ok but myself I think I needed a stiff whisky!
I must say after using many other harnesses on our Siberian Husky cross Malamute that this K9 harness is a real pleasure to fit, once you have got the front velcro strap measured to the size of your dogs chest that`s it – you don`t have to undo it again, its just a case of putting your dogs head through the front part and pushing it back so the saddle is on the dogs back – basically that is it, you just grab the strap that fits underneath and clip it together = Done ! It really is so simple to fit, great quality, strong, really well made and put together – and it looks great too.
Got Julius k9 a long time ago and never looked back I have the mini mini for a shih tzu (age 3) and size 2 for a lab x shar pei (age 7month) this is the 2nd mini mini I have ordered due to the 1st one being black and getting hot in the sun it’s still got plenty of life left in it to say it’s over a year old my advice would be to go for a colour one as it will stay cooler in summer I went for blue for mini mini and red for size 2 and both are of great quality will deffo recommend
—OLD REVIEW—
Great product was recommended by a friend and my dog loves it had trouble with a different brand and style of harness rubbing under legs but with the Julius k9 there is no issue easy to put on and off and adjusting is simple I have done nothing but awnser questions in park about this product and I recommend to everyone
I had nothing to worry about, the baby size 2 fits my Chi perfectly. It’s noce and light and not bulky or chunky at all, was easy to fit aswell. Noce and sturdy on walks and my chi seemed to be comfortable to. And the added bonus it glows in the dark and is waterproof. By far the best harness we have bought so far and for a perfect price! Highly recommended.
Molly is a small/slender female Labrador and Size 1 fits her perfectly.
100% recommend these harnesses, they are brilliant!
One TINY niggle is that they seemed to have changed the design for the handle, her old one had a strap and popper to hold it down, this one is just strong velcro, which does the job but if you have it up and hold it the hooked velcro under the handle is a little spiky.
Nevertheless. This is by far the best harness I’ve brought, for a very reasonable price, and it’s simply marvellous in both build and functions. If by chance it would break, I’d be very hesitant to get any other style after having used the JuliusK9!
The younger dog has a high prey drive and will pull for anything small and furry so we need a harness which will last. I can say after 2 years of owning one its still in perfect working order, we have broken two leads but not the harness in that time.
My personal favourite thing is the handle on top, so useful when you need to keep him close and under control, was also very useful for our older dog (30kg) when she hurt her back leg while out on a long walk, she is too heavy to carry all that way and with very little other option (as i was out alone) i was able to use the handle to lift her up a bit and take the pressure of that leg till we got back home.
We mainly use it so that our other dog (a Siberian husky) who also has the same harness can be hooked up to our lab and they can go off lead together giving us piece of mind knowing our husky cant run off.
Cleaning wise just a damp cloth is enough to give it a good rub down.
This is the first premium dog harness I’ve bought for my lab and would recommend them to all dog owners. Bonus points of the cool orange colour as well
Primarily use the light use harness for casual walks no more than an hour. If we’re walking a longer distance or time she wears the saddlebagged one and carries a Tupperware box of water, spare dog bags, a ball or two and in the other my waterbottle and a first aid kit.
Would also recommend the Julius K9 colar for a GSD as its strong, wide and light.
All of their kit is made from material that is quick drying – the saddlebags have waterproof sections in them too. Great for when Storm decides a lake would look better with her in it!
Was worried as other comments say dogs have escaped from the harness. No chance of that if the harness is properly adjusted. Feel really confident whilst walking my boisterous, continually pulling, excitable Podenco.
Really impressed with the overall quality and finish of the product would definitely recommend, and will buy again if we need a replacement.
