Massive improvement...
I’ve tried several solutions in trying to stop constant pulling from my pooch with varying success. Whilst this is still not perfect, as she does still pull a little, I found this to be the best choice for all round performance and likely the best I’m going to achieve. The pulling is greatly reduced, making a walk far more enjoyable. When she does pull, it isn’t with the same force as before and my arm doesn’t suffer as a result. A GL worked well initially, reducing the pulling massively, but that soon irritated her and made walking impossible whilst she kept trying to get it off her nose.
I haven’t had this one long enough to confirm the durability, but so far so good and would recommend giving it a go. It really does help!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!
I cannot stress enough how fantastic this product is. I received yesterday and this morning trialled it with my 7 month old Jack Russell who pulls like an express train. After eyeing it with dubious reserve (him not me)! He soon settled to it. No pulling, easy to control left or right by flipping the lead over his shoulder. So much nicer than the original halti over the nose of years back. This product is a real winner in my opinion. I purchased the training lead to complete it also.
Good
Brilliant as per normal with halti only problem it did not stop my two from pulling
it works!
Despite trying different approaches/treats my little Cocker Poo insists on steaming ahead of me but first time out with this harness she actually WALKED so well that my 5 year old grand daughter was able to walk her!! Only issue is with the sizing as despite her measurements fitting with the guide it is a little big on the neck even with it as tight as possible; this means that the front hangs low and the lead falls down and tends to tangle her front leg.
Buy with Halti head collar and training lead
I like this. It doesn’t completely stop pulling. It helps handle my husky’s strength. Combine this with the head collar and Halti training lead and ur in for a chance. All three together make the world of difference to my demon husky who pulls like a trai
Grea
I bought this plus the lead of the same brand and it works really well for our 1 year old shepherd who is very excitable and pulls a lot. I normally struggled to walk her but this helps a lot ! Also very easy to put on.
Great value for money I think.
So far so good!
We have a very pully Springer Spaniel and we have tried absolutely everything, slip leads, choker collars, normal harnesses, halti head collars and nothing works! she either pulls until she’s sick or causes her self an injury trying to get something off her nose.
I was recommended this type of harness and was pretty sceptical but I’ve taken her on her first walk with it on and she’s like a different dog (and it doesn’t cause her discomfort like the other things we have tried).
I originally ordered the medium but it was HUGE!! even when it was tightened to the smallest it could go.
When the small arrived, I thought it would only fit a Guinea pig! but stretched out to the biggest it will go is the perfect fit (a little thinner than I’d like but so far so good!)
Instant improvement.
We bought this harness and matching double ended lead to put a stop to our new 6 month old Lurcher pulling on walks. I can honestly say that this combo worked instantly. He doesn’t try to pull anymore. Previously he would have been choking himself pulling on his lead and Martindale collar. The transformation was instant and brilliant. He is a pleasure to walk now. I fully recommend this harness.
Brilliant no-pull harness!
Bought this for my seven month old cavachon who pulls constantly on walks. I can’t believe the difference, he immediately stopped pulling and was much happier and calmer on the walk. My dog was really happy wearing it, and it seemed very comfortable for him. I’m thrilled with my purchase!
Great idea
This is amazing! I have a 3 yr old mini dachshund who used to pull so hard her feet would be sore so we couldn’t take her for long walks. On the first walk with this all sustained pulling has stopped I’ve added the “steady” command which she is now responding to. Before she was very stubborn and resistant to training. I couldn’t recommend this enough.
Clever design - Would recommend
This has been a God send for our excitable Labrador. It fits well and does a good job. Having the D ring on his chest gives better control rather than a pulling contest when ring is attached to harness on his back or collar on his neck. It’s kind and does not rub.
Miracle worke
Bought this wit the collar and lead – and now actually enjoy walking the dog !! Before it was not a happy experience as she pulled all the time! But with this harness and double lead – it really works and I am so happy as I had tried a lot of other ones which made no difference
Happy puppy, happy me!
Wonderful product, purchased for my collie puppy. Some more instructions on fitting and use would have been helpful but it has been brilliant. Pup turns one on Monday, he walks beautifully on his harness. I like that you can use it to indicate to him that he is to walk to heel or that he is free to sniff etc depending on which hook you use. It is easy to adjust and though it was a little loose when he was younger, it’s fit him well through his growth. It is easy to put on and take off too.
Success at last!
Just back from our first walk with the Halti harness attached. We have tried many others, including the nose Halti which he just ate.. But now an over boisterous beagle cross is finaly defeated and the walk was a complete joy. I even took the long way home! He is a changed doggo and might even make parole due to his newly found good behaviour!
I read reviews on sizing here first, and i nervously ordered a Small even though he’s more medium sized.. it fits perfectly with plenty scope to adjust if he gets any bigger or eats too much over Xmas. I dont have a double ended lead (yet) so just clipped his normal one on to the front. It still did the job amazingly well.
Really wish I’d bought this one first!
Well made and works well.
Size not quite right but small was much too small. Very good control. Bought to re-teach lead response for our collie.
Great produc
Great harness. Does seem to of made a slight difference to our black labs behavior when street walking him.
Take back control
I’ve had this product for a couple of months now and the difference in our walks is immense. My boxsky was hard to control on the leash and walks were becoming a nuisance.
Now I have a lot more control. This is not going to cure pulling overnight but she is beginning to realize that I’m the one in control and most of the walk is spent with her to heel. I can’t tell you what a relief it is.
I find the harness of good quality and its easy to fit. I got a medium which at the tightest fitting is just about snug enough aound her chest.
All in all I would definitely recommend this to regain control over exuberant dogs. Our walks are now so much more enjoyable for both of us.
Power Steering for Dogs!
I genuinely love this. I have a big dog and she pulls like a tank whenever she sees something interesting. The Halti reduces her pulling power by at least 50% and reduces the chance of her breaking her own neck by 100.
Definitely makes a difference
Only used a couple of times…my dogs have husky and malamute in the them so really want to pull I usually use a nose led lead to control them but disliked using them bought one of these for my bigger dog who pulls more. Definitely makes a difference…he can pull if he really wants to but i I have much better control of him. The video attaches doesn’t really do it justice as it’s night and he has a pee mid video sorry
Very good but had to adjust to the smallest settings for ...
Very good but had to adjust to the smallest settings for my springer spaniel, this meant the excess webbing at the bottom was to long, almost on the floor. Reluctant to cut it off as the dog is only nine moths old so may need to adjust in the future. Believe the small would have been too small.
This harness doesn’t look much compared to some comparable products but YES IT WORKS. Easy to clip onto the dog as no ‘step through’ required. Adjust it to your dogs girth. You will also need to attach it to a collar. You will need a lead that can clip at both ends. I have the halti lead which I very comfortable to use. My shoulder joints are now happy with very little pulling and easy control of a 30kg puppy!
This product has both front and back hooks for attaching the lead. The front attaches to the collar. We use pretty much only on the front for general walking. If the dog pulls then this pulls him back sideways and stops agressive pulling pretty well, and is an aid to leash training.
I have the 2 hook lead which I I use to attach at front and back when I need a lot of control, such as on a footpathless country lane.
It’s not perfect, but the best I have found so far.
Works great but doesn't fit all dogs
Followed the measuring instructions but this Halti doesn’t fit my dog. She’s a Sprocker and quite short in the leg and the chest band just bangs against her knees! However, even with the poor fit, it really does work so would definitely recommend for dogs that are more firmly in the middle of a weight bracket rather than on the cusp of two like mine.
I love this harness. I use it for my st Bernard who is 80kg and loves to charge at cats. Without it i cant hold him back at all. Don’t get me wrong, he still can pull me if he wants to but I can hold him back more with this on. It gives me control without having to use a head harness or other methods. If you have a puller definitely get training but this will help you so your not been dragged down the street.
Amazing!
The Halti harness has completely transformed our dog walks. Our boxer puppy was constantly pulling on the lead and even with puppy training sessions, we were still struggling to get it under control. The halti harness changed that from day 1… it sits across the chest, doesn’t restrict movement and causes no discomfort. Now we have no more pulling!
Fantastic product, highly recommended!
Would defiantly recommend this harness
First time I used this harness today for my 7 month old lab boy and omg! What a difference but has made with his pulling! He walked really well! I would deffo recommend this harness and lead it doesn’t hurt my hand any more and I won’t be dreading walking him from now on! Like I said only my first time of using but wow I’m impressed!
Almost successful
To be absolutely fair this harness did not stop my dog from pulling but it did stop her from pulling so hard the walk had become unpleasent. She does not gasp for air with this. I live near the sea, she swims in it and it dries very quickly. She also does not appear to be bothered by wearing it while she is running about. I found the clip which joins the collar to the harness a bit tricky and would have liked it a bit larger. This is because it sticks a little. By and large this was a good buy and made for a much more comfortable walk.
Good produc
This is a great walking device and has really helped me to train my lively spaniel not to pull me like a pack of huskies. One star lost because the small size is too small and the medium size a little looser than I would like, but it is still very effective and won’t come off as it is clipped to the dogs collar. I use it with the halti lead so I can clip it to the chest and back of my dog.
I wasn’t holding much hope for this working but boy was i wrong! Even the first day was a HUGE improvement! I had a very pully Collie who just didn’t like being on her lead! She’d constantly pull to the right when walking and looked really weird! Also because she was doing this i kept stepping on her paws! Well we no longer have that issue! She just walks straight and i can hardly feel her pulling! It’s fantastic and easy to put on! as she grows i will be getting the bigger size! Part of me is debating getting this for my Akita as he currently has a head halti!
Works like a charm! Absolutely amazing!
Tried everything to reign in my 7 month show cocker spaniel pulling on the lead and was at my wits end and so was my mum especially as she has a bad arm. This is the only thing that has cut the pulling my 85/90% and I’ve tried a few different collars and harnesses. I can’t fault this harness at all. For my boy as he’s still a pup I ordered a small which fits perfectly, (it is fully adjustable) will obv have to buy a med when he’s at adult size. He’s at his worst for pulling when he knows we’re going home/back to the car and gets very excited and pulls like a train. Clip front harness’s allow you to be in control of your dog not the other way round and you can steer them in the direction you want them to go in a safe and gentle way. Will never go back to just a collar or a harness that clips on the dogs back.
Not a complete success!!
I can’t say that the harness has completely cure the pulling from our cavalier King Charles spaniel but it has certainly helped. Do find that it doesn’t work evenly from both sides when walking but am getting used to that. I bought the small size which is still a bit big as she is a petite Cavalier. I think they would work better on a larger dog but will continue to use it.
So far so good
Seems to work well.. weve only used it twice so far but our dog seems alot happier than when we used the head collar (he has allergies so gets itchy face) we ordered a large as our dog is about the size of a bigish lab (26.5kg) but the large is huge!
Makes walking the dog fun agai
This worked great! For our Weimaraner cross who was an avid pulling machine on a walk, this is the only harness we have found that calms her and encourages her to relax and go slow.
We also got one for our smaller three legged spaniel which doesn’t work as well but this is more down to her need to be moving fast with her disability rather than the use of the product. Great for an able bodied dog though! Would buy again!
Fabulous harness... Never buying any other again!
Well this certainly helped me and my cane corso cross furbaby. She is super good on the lead and actually walks better with me when off, however when we see another dog she cannot resist but yo want to say hello. This pulling was very persistent and I had a back fastening harness which was just encouraging her ‘pull impulse’. No more with the halti! A very slight tug and she looks up at me and listens. No more sore shoulder or ripped up hands! I feel so much more comfortable that I have control now. Fantastic harness… Lots of adjustable areas, fits great and the over the head application and one clip… Perfect. The clip to the collar (purchased in Conjunction) is a final safety feature. Never buying any other. Love it, thank you!
The front fastening harness is the best at minimizing pulling
I had the small one in this for my springer so when that got too tight I bought the medium. The front fastening harness is the best at minimizing pulling.
The drawback is the sizing the medium is so much bigger than the small so its now too big for her, if I had been able to adjust more it would be perfect.
brillia
Bought this with the Halti collar and training lead for my 77 year old mother-in-law and her boisterous dog! Brilliant! Quite easy to put on, must make sure you attach the collar to the harness, but once you get it right, no problem! My mother-in-law is quite frail but had no problem taking her pooch out in the very bad snow and ice we had in March!
Five Stars
Love this. My dog still pulls a bit but she is much more manageable with this.
Good strong harness.
Really pleased with this harness, well made and strong. Sits well across my dogs chest too.
Perfect!
This for me is a worthy 5 out of 5 stars. The harness arrived next day after ordering and is well designed with a good standard of finish. Easy to fit and instructions very useful for getting the adjustments correct.
My dog is a 20 month old Golden Retriever weighing about 32kg. She has always had an issue of pulling whenever she sees anything of interest, cat, birds, carrier bags etc and is very strong. Any walk with her has been a challenge. After fitting this harness taking her for a walk is now a pleasure! I can honestly say this is a brilliant product which has done exactly as it’s claimed.
I have a 3 month old puppy that pulls like a tank and on a few occasions has tore the lead out of my hand. I wanted to stop him pulling when he’s young so I bought this harness and it’s living up to it’s expectations! I bought the lead to go with it, and even if he tries to pull, a slight tug of the lead and he stops. But he’s pretty much stopped pulling and I couldn’t be any happier 🙂
We had to originally return our harness as it was too large for our ~30kg 9 month old Golden Retriever. We ordered a medium one instead and it fits perfectly. We had trained him to walk well on a harness from a small pup but his adolescent stage (now in full swing) has thrown most of his initial training out the window where he just wants to do as he pleases and pulling as hard as he can is one of them!
We were trying to figure out what we could do to prevent this, and were recommended an “easy walk” harness which led us to this product. He has been using it now for a few days and so far I can genuinely say I have only had to ask him not to pull once after running into a neighbour whom he loves.
The first walk was a bit strange for him as he couldn’t work out what this strange contraption was that he was wearing and he wasn’t used to having his lead at the front (and he has a habit of changing sides that he walks so kept getting caught up) but he’s getting the hang of it now and it truly is a god send. I don’t quite know how it works or what stops him from pulling but most of the time we are walking loose-leash and it’s fantastic!
I’d really recommend this to anyone with big boisterous dogs like my pup whose excitement gets the better of them – so much so that they start taking you for a walk instead! It has been great and so far so good. If anything changes I will report back.
Does the job!!
Quite fiddly to adjust but stopped my dog pulling straight away. Only needed to attach the lead to the chest once and she got the idea. Very good produc

I have had this Halti Harness for just on 2yrs, what I am not satisfied with it is that the catch that goes to his collar no longer keeps shut owing to the fact it no longer holds in place.
I know goods do not last for ever but for the price this should no of gone so quick.
Strong, soft, easily adjusted to different lengths and easy to wash, dries quickly.
Great lead – it can be easily adjusted to different lengths. It’s soft and strong and very easy to wash – I just throw ours in the washing machine in a lingerie bag so they don’t get tangled all through the washing, they dry quickly. Easy to clip the poo bag holder or dicky bag on to the lead too.
So Far So Good
I bought this on the recommendation of our vet who also has a Lab that pulls. At almost 30kgs our 10 month old boy was making lead walking almost unbearable. After 4 days he still occasionally rears up with exuberance at the prospect of a walk but the effect on me from his attempts to pull are much better, in fact once he settles down walks are now much more enjoyable.
A couple of things to bear in mind:
*Use it connected to a regular collar; the harness is too loose if used with a half choker as the collar’s ring hangs too low.
*Take your time to adjust all the straps to the right fit. The red strap that fits under the dog only has a flimsy slider to contain excess strap. This easily comes undone and has resulted in me having to tie the excess in an untidy knot.
It works!
Put this on for the first time & our 10mth old springador puppy immediately stopped pulling. He can still pull towards another dog but at least it doesn’t hurt my arm or his neck! Haven’t tried it with the training lead yet, which might give me even more control. I bought medium but it still feels a little loose, so may think about buying a small one. It has definitely made a difference & I wish I’d bought it sooner.
Highly recommended
We love this harness. Even for a big golden retriever, it works very well and is sturdier than it looks. It’s the second one I’ve bought after we wore the first one out – it lasted very well for the way it was treated 🙂 The only thing I would change about it is the little clip that connects to the collar. I wish it was just a little bit stronger. But for the price, I can’t complain! Great value for money.

Surprisingly works well
With a mad pulling Dalmatian! Not as good as a nose band but still works very well as an alternative as my dog can’t have a nose band at the mome
The concept worked brilliantly but the harness was thin and cheaply constructed
I previously bought and imported a harness from the USA that worked on this front chest connection. The concept worked brilliantly but the harness was thin and cheaply constructed.
This one is very well made indeed an astonishingly cost less than a third as much could not be more pleased

The halti harness is good but the size M is slightly too big on the smallest ,but it does what it says on the tin so to speak

IT fits really well. We already had one being used for one of the dogs. That’s why we got the other one. It defenitly stops them from pulling sometimes
I essentially prefer using these rather than just a collar around pooch as much safer for them and he does walk better on it if
his is the third one I have had – so they don’t last forever. I essentially prefer using these rather than just a collar around pooch as much safer for them and he does walk better on it if I connect the lead to both front and back. It does need re-adjusting every now and then so not perfect but not a major issue
Definitely stops my ladradoodle from pulling
Great item. I bought a Medium for my 6 month Labradoodle. It’s a bit big, but it attaches to her collar and around her chest/tummy, therefore it’s safe to use, and it works, it definitely stops her from pulling.
Don't be put off by the size ! It works made a real difference!
I walk a friends dog and she purchased one for her beagle. At first I thought this would not be man enough as the straps are narrow, however I am amazed in the difference it made to walking the dog on the lead ! It seems to steer the dog and gives you more control from the front. Therefore I purchased this for my parsons JR and have used twice so far and been really good for him, took me a few attempts to get the adjustment right on the straps but sorted now ! Makes walking on the lead much more pleasurable and hopefully will break the pulling habit as training is easier .
Great value as a harness
Used this on our 1 year old viszla who seems to like the idea of taking his owners for a ‘drag’. It did seem to pull him up a little, though not a lot and I think that in order to make it more effective I’ll need to purchase the nose attachment. As a stand alone harness, it’s actually terrific value – easy to put on and take off and doesn’t seem to cause chaffing or obstruction.
Very good
Ordered the medium for my 6 month old boxer. It is a little big, but he will grow into it. Does really help with his pulling. when we get to the field i have to take it off, otherwise it falls offf when he runs, but thats fine. hoping when he grows into it, it will fit better, But i still use it every day and prefer it to all the other things ive tried
... husky puppy and he certainly does what huskies do best & thats pull also other issues we have was ...
I have a 6 month old husky puppy and he certainly does what huskies do best & thats pull also other issues we have was his lunging towards other dogs & people with eagerness to greet them & he certainly had no issues in budging my large frame if he wanted to, he’s not even fully grown so that isn’t even his full pulling capacity. So I did want to gain more control….. I’ve only used this for 1 day and i’m already a huge fan of this harness I did also purchases the Halti training lead to use with the harness. My purpose is only training not a permanent fixture, It was so nice to be able to walk him loose lead & if he attempted to pull i could just use one small gesture on the lead and gain control or steer him where i wanted him to go. Its definitely worth a try & from the off its helped with alot of the strain on myself when hes pulling like a train, so in that regard I think you will most definitely notice an immediate improvement but don’t think you are buying a miracle cure that all the issues are going away if you put another harness on them you may find the pulling will start all over again, it does take some work on the owners behalf as well, to condition the dog to walk at a speed which is entirely unatural to them which is at our pace as we are slower & the ultimate goal for me is to walk without the need for the Halti harness.
Absolutely fantastic dog harness and I couldn't be without it now
Absolutely fantastic dog harness and I couldn’t be without it now. I have a german shepherd and she Is quite a handful at times, so I needed something that would be able to control her when he started lunging out on walks. This harness has a double clip so you can clip the harness to his dog collar for extra security. The great thing with this harness is that you can either clip his lead to the hook on the back, or the hook on the front, or if your like me and you the halti lead, you can clip him on the front and back so you have complete control over his movements if you need to. I wouldn’t be without the harness
Has transformed the way our miniature poodle walks on the lead. She used to pull and we never succeeded in stopping her until we used this. She’s quite happy wearing it and can run around happily after her ball. Don’t leave it on in the house – our dog gnawed through the chest brace on the first one we had.

Works well with my Lab but you 2will want the halti training lead to go with it (that is also a good product)
Sizing was good so I would trust the sizes given on the product.
GOD SENT!
Got my blue staffy at 5 months old, he had a terrible start and wasn’t walked at all. He pulled me off my feet with the force of a bull, always. Bought this and the halti training lead under the assumption it would be just like everything else I tried (including a 50 Cesar millan collar) but worth a shot and I have to say its day 2 and he is an absolute pleasure to walk. Definitely recommend for strong forceful dogs and I wont doubt a Halti product again!
*UPDATE*: I stupidly put this harness on before a walk and and as I got everything ready to go I heard a yelp (he was spinning around excited) and started to limp. Vet warned the band on front restricts a little movement and not to leave it on him off lead. Otherwise for a walk on lead it’s fantastic.
These are great!
I have a springer spaniel. She is very strong and pulls hard on a back fastening harness and even worse on just a collar. Her behaviour onbthis front fastening harness is amazing. She hardly pulls at all!
Brilliant, transformed our walks
I have been having so many problems training my big and strong puppy to walk nicely on the lead. Despite training classes he still pulled Luke a maniac whenever he got excited. We tried a head harness and he wouldn’t walk in it. This product has transformed our walks. He now walks by my side and doesn’t pull, when he tries I feel like the one in control instead of the other way around. Highly recommended this for anyone having similar problems.
Great value for money
I bought two harnesses for my dogs to replace ones that I had bought previously. The previous harnesses were another brand, the fabric twisted and rubbed my dogs under the armpits. The Halti harnesses are far superior. They are cheaper, but made of better quality material. The straps don’t twist. I’m not convinced any harness will completely stop a dog pulling, but front leading harnesses do seem to reduce it. You are leading them rather than being pulled. Highly recommended.
Brilliant Harness
Having adopted a large 45kg crossbreed dog I was struggling to hold him when we met other dogs out on walks. He didn’t like a halti head collar but this harness has proved a great success. I can now stay on my feet and in control of the dog who is quite happy to wear the harness. It is also very easy to put on, simply drops over the head and then one buckle to fasten and a hook to connect to the collar.
Made a big difference!
I have bought the halti head harness before and my dog refused to wear it managing to pull it up over his chin and into his mouth. I had also heard harnesses were bad as they encouraged pulling, immediately on the first use I noticed a big difference, I bought the halti double ended lead to go with it and it works great
Leading him off the front ring gives me much greater control and prevents him from charging ahead as it pulls him sideways which he does not like. I looked at loads of these types some which were quite expensive but I feel this is really good value for money as it works as well as any other.
I have a german shepherd x rottweiler who is 11months old, the large is very big and gives him lots of room to grow.
Took on this Doberman that I can't hold back from excitement and love of life
This harness has changed my walks completely. Now I can control my overexcited and barking mad Doberman anywhere. Our walks on lead was a battle of wills. Got a Rhodhesian Ridgeback I can control by gesture and command. Took on this Doberman that I can’t hold back from excitement and love of life. With the halti harness I can walk easy without being pulled along. Only when cats and rabbits appear does the straining on the leash become more noticeable. Certainly a helpful in reducing the pulling.
WORKS ON THE WALK, NOT AS EASY TO FIT AND REMOVE AS SOME HARNESSES
Bought to make dog walking a little more controlled. I do notice a difference between using this and using a collar or alternative harness. Would have liked it to be a little more padded. There is small padding on the sides, there is no padding on the adjustable area that goes around the chest.
I need to have the harness around the body of the dog quite small. This leaves a long end piece hanging, which I may cut off as it comes untucked and trails along the ground during walks. The clip to open and close then sits on the chest area behind the front legs, which it makes it slightly harder to clip and unclip.
The item is sometimes put on inside out and then taken off to correct.
The clip to clip it to the collar, gives some reassurance that if the harness should fail, the dog would not be immediately loose. The product is fairly thin and does not look strong but seems to be holding up well and I find worth using, with the improvement in walking. More fiddly to use than a collar alone but walking is more controlled and is usually worth the few extra minutes to fit and remove the harness.
If I find a similar product for my small dog that opens and closes on the dogs back and with more padding I will consider changing, until then this does the job.
Good produc
Has stopped my dog pulling as much as she used to though she still manages to pull a bit. Nothing will ever stop her spinning round in circles though
Brillia
2 GSD 8-month old puppies, combined weight of over 60kg, lead walking now a pleasure! I can hold both in one hand!
Slightly complicated to put in initially, and sizing isn’t that accurate, bought large size as they were both within the recommended range, but they are slightly too big still, so had to order medium until they grow into the large.
Brilliant for 5 month puppy
There was a massive difference after using this in my labrador puppy’s walking. It works really well with the halti lead. The sizing is on the large size, my puppy is the size of a small springer spaniel (15kg) and the medium harness is quite loose at the smallest it will go. I put the harness on my two year labrador x staffy who has a large chest (32kg) and it fits perfectly without going to its maximum size. Overall this product does everything that it says it should do.
Harness for large and powerful dogs
This product is wonderful and when you get a good fit on your four feet friends it is wonderful strong for a big strong dog who is excitable mine also rears up like a horse and throws his all into life so I need a good harness for his training.
Well done this is excellent nicely padded harness and strong.
more comfortable walks now
I bought these for my 2 bichon frise in a small size and they fit well with plenty of room for adjustment. Took me a little while to figure out how to attach properly but once they were on were quite simple to use. I like how they reduce the amount of pulling even though it’s not eliminated completely, without causing any discomfort to the dog and reducing discomfort from me being pulled along! My walks are a lot more comfortable now and wish had tried using them a lot sooner.
A-mazing product!
Just bought this for my 6 month old Bernese mountain dog who is 30kg & growing. Walking him was a nightmare as he was so strong & pulled your arm off with the lead. I’ve just come back from his first walk and the difference was unbelievable! He tried to pull a bit but realised it was more comfortable to heel by my side as the harness pulled him back by his chest not his neck! Can’t believe the difference it made on one 30 min walk!!!! I think it will also allow my children to walk him now instead. Size wise: I bought size M & L as wasn’t sure which was best. The medium size has narrower straps & was perfect. Will move to the L size when he’s fully grown. The clip hole was too small to fit my lead clip but there is a big disc that you can clip your lead into instead which was great. Totally recommend!!
Amazing
Just had our 9 month old Bullmastiff for nearly 2 weeks, she’s big for her age and our first Bullmastiff, the previous owners just had a normal harness and a chunky mettle chain for her walks, which was fine untill she nearly pulled my arm out of the socket and was very hard to control, one of the parents at my sons school suggested one of these and I was willing to try anything, it arrived today and I literally just used it and I must say there was a massive difference, I actually knew I had control over her and in away she actually felt more comfortable, I got the harnes and the lead and the material of the lead was so comfy I can now arrive back home with out having sore hands after her yanking me
Miracle it really does work
I couldn’t walk my border collie due to him pulling so hard this was a instant cure he now walks gently it’s easy to put on & off and I can’t rate this highly enough it really has changed our lives I’m out with him twice a day now in total control – I use the double ended halti lead with it so I feel safe with him it really is exceptional value for money & I wished I had brought one years ago Thankyou
This harness is easy to adjus
This harness is easy to adjust, seems comfortable for my golden retriever to wear and makes it much easier to control him on the lead. Very happy with this product.
Excellent harness, makes walking my mad springer much easie
Excellent harness, makes walking my mad springer much easier. Fastening clip can be a bit fiddly as its under the armpit. Also the sliding ring on the chest doesn’t really move as freely as it should. This could be operator error but a good harness none the less.

I don’t know how or why this harness works – but it does. It has stopped my border collie from nearly pulling my arm off when we walk and has made trips outside far more enjoyable.
It took about ten minutes to work out how it goes on and how to adjust it, but after that – you’re off.
They recommend you buy the two ended lead to walk with the dog – I did and that is good from walking ‘to heel’. However, it also works with just an extendable lead attached to the front loop which gives her more freedom and exercise.
A great product.

I have a small collie and this was only just small enough. I ended up cutting some of the adjustment straps to remove excess. It works better than a conventional lead but is not a complete cure. She can still pull if she wants but is less successful and the harness attaches in a way that is less harmful to her. It is easy to put on and remove once you get the hang of how it attaches. Seems well made and should last. She doesn’t object to having it fitted.
This is good quality, works well and had immediate results
This is good quality, works well and had immediate results. My dog is a large medium sized beast and has never liked the original halti always attempting to remove it by any means! That also works well but the pharness seems more comfortable for him. I did read the reviews first so made sure to measure him before ordering (medium size) and it fits perfectly once adjusted. This is very strongly made and am sure will last a long time. I am only using a normal extendable lead at the moment so fasten at front for times extra control is needed and on the back at the times he can have a root around whilst still on lead! Plus he happily runs about off the lead and shows no concern about the harness – it is an all round winner for us!
Great produc
The halti harness is a great buy, I bought a medium for my english bull terrier although she is small for her breed so a small would of fit her. It does stop alot of the pulling, its not a miracle cure as she still tries to drag me away when she sees another dog but shes quite a reactive dog, gets very excited as she wants to go play. With this harness as you can clip the lead to the front it is alot easier to control her and distract her.
I would recommend this product it makes walks alot easier, I also bought the halti head collar and this makes my dog alot more obedient when walking as she cant pull away from me and you can make her look at you and engage instead of ignoring me like she usually does.
Works
I have an 8 month old 6 stone German Shepard , who loves to tell me where he’s going and at what speed. The very first time WE used it , it worked . I just wished that I had one with some of my previous ‘Sheps.. Now I have to get used to it. One thing I would say , is the Large size , says Belly width 80cm +. My dog is 84cm’s but the large one is Far too big , even at maximum reduction . This was not a problem for Amazon to change. They arranged collection and delivery of a medium size with no hassle. EXCELLENT. Would recommend buying this product if your dog has a will of his own!
Good value for price.
Very comfortable and easy to wear. Help in controlling a dog which pulls is good. Unfortunately the material from which the harness is made is not very robust, and the spring in the clasp which attaches to the dog’s collar loses its spring very quickly.
improved dog walking
Is taking a little bit of getting used to by dogs due to their strength still pulling a bit at present but much less than before, can be used with one lead at front or lead with 2 connectors clipped on front and back
Seems good
My pug cross dog was terrible for pulling on the lead so thought I’d give this a try. He wore it twice and seemed better with it but then my French bulldog pup found it and chewed the fasteners off, so I bought another one. He wore the second one twice before the dreaded pup found it and chewed it up again! I have given up trying for now. I think he would have walked better with the halti given time, but I think I’ll wait until the pup has finished destroying my house til I try again.
I take on oldie rescue Boxers, who are usually still strong, often not great on the lead and not socialised. I don’t agree with chokers or anything that might harm their throat. I’ve used this harness for the past five years and on three lovely oldies, including my current beautiful, 9 year old, 35 Kilo! girl. If used properly (with two leads, front ‘D’ ring and top ), it give great control, comfort for the dog and they walk to heal calmly and enjoy their walks. The key here is to follow the Halti instructions and keep at it, using lots of encouragement on the way.
Good produc
This is a good product but the sizing is still a bit off (as previous reviews have said) – the small is still a bit big in some places on my Cairn. This is a shame because the principle of the harness is excellent and with a clip at the front, helps to prevent him pulling. (Does not stop it, but it is not such an issue). We use it with the Halti Training Lead which has numerous hoops and two clips.
Thank you!
Our 2 year old rescue home staffie thought she was the boss when we went walking – especially when with the children – and this harness has made a huge difference.
Although she is still immensely strong and somewhat protective and playful when the children are around, when it is just the two of us she now walks a thousand times better!
It’s just small enough for her (she’s 18kg of chunk!) but I would imagine she’s on the cusp of the 2 sizes, however it fits well and is easy to get on and off. Her lead clips easily on the ring at the back and unclips equally as easy for those off the lead moments!
A great harness that is wearing well and was very reasonably priced
Excellent harness - it has stopped by dog pulling so much!
This was recommended to me by our local Dog Walker to stop our strong dog pulling me on the lead so much. It’s great, so much easier to handle the dog now, if she pulls she turns around, but wearing it she doesn’t seem to pull half as much as she did before. The only downside is that the straps do stretch when they are wet, I had read other reviews that said this, but it isn’t a problem she still is more controllable even when wet and I adjust the straps again when they are dry. It would be so wonderful if they made the same harness without the ‘stretchy when wet’ straps. I use it with the halt training lead which I think is a must it helps with control. I also use it with an extendable lead and it is no problem at all. She wears it when I let her off lead and again, she has no problem with it. In fact I think she feels a little more confident in it, she is an anxious dog.
Springer spaniel
Bought this for my 8 month old ESS. I had previously been using a check chain as recommended by my dog training class, this had improved her pulling most of the time however not for the first walk of the day.
Put the halti on today for her first walk, and what an amazing difference. Instead of a strong tug with the chain, all the halti requires is a very gentle pull and “heel” and it keeps her at my side. Such a huge difference that I can actually control her with one hand.
I cannot recommend the halti highly enough.
This worked great for our mastiff
I can walk her with one finger using this. It worked really great. I combined it with a halti head collar and used a d link to clip it to the front loop. It didn’t work well for our other mastiff who is very boisterous as she was backing out of it,but that is more to do with her than the halti. It is the best product I’ve found to help stop pulling completely.
Great!
What a clever harness!! I was very surprised when this actually worked especially after some of the negative comments. My husky/malamute was getting too big and very strong and pulling harder every day I couldn’t carry on the way things were and my hand was killing after every walk! As soon as I put this on him it was like a totally different dog! Wow, he cant physically pull at all its almost impossible, and you have full control of the dog I find I can steer him left and right, its fab!!!
Excellent Produc
I never believe this would be so effective, it’s easy to fit and works immediately, my dog always pulls as he starts his walk, he would choke himself with his regular collar, this is safer for the dog and the owner.
I would definitely recommend this product
Dog: Golden Retriever 43kg
It does not act quite as effectively as the head collar, but is a lot more acceptable to our dogs, they are easy to fit and certainly
improve control. It is early days yet and as the dogs (and us) get used to them I may be wishing I had given them 5 stars !!
This works
Bought one of these on the advice of my puppy club trainer for my 9 month old GSD puppy, in medium size with twin lead.
He didn’t like it and chewed the first one to pieces.
So i bought another one and he is now used to it. It really helps stop him pulling on the lead. He also waits patiently while I fit it as it is a bit fiddly, but he has figured out that he should stand perfectly still while I fit the clips etc.
He now walks gently and in step. However if I revert back to a slip lead he starts pulling again, so full marks to Halti Harness.
Energy harnessed!
Our 10 month old border collie is quite a handful and we already used a gentle leader halter but have found the halti harness to give better control. It doesn’t stop her pulling however, but has reduced it slightly. We find it much easier to attach the leash and to catch her (recall not great yet but improving). By leaving the harness on during free running we have a built in handle.
It is a bit too big but the small would be too small – she is a slight build. Altogether though we are very pleased with this purchase and use it constantly. We have since read that a halter type, as well as neck collars on which to fix the leash,can cause problems with the neck and spine later in life if you have a strong, pulling dog, as we have, whereas a harness supports the trunk of the dog.
I have tried a few harnesses in the past for my Border Collie Dylan and usually they work for a week then he has them sussed and I have a 6ft long arm again! I have had this one almost 4 weeks now and its working well. I only use it with a lead on the chest notch (which in turn is connected to the collar) this works really well and Dylan and I have had much longer walks and I have enjoyed them more! Dylan is not the largest Border Collie I have had and this (medium)harness is on its smallest settings and is still a little bit big for him, so maybe I could have gotten away with a ‘small’, but it still works well. I am very pleased I bought it and am more than happy to recommend it!
Definitely a good buy!
Having tried the nose halti with some success (and found that Bonnie wasn’t as keen as I was on it!) we were recommended to buy this one and got it just in time for the bad weather. It has been a life-saver. We’ve found it works with only 1 lead (unlike the nose halti) which saves juggling leads when you have 2 dogs to hold! The additional training leaflet was, however, disappointing. We got the medium size which was loads big enough for a alsation x greyhound – but it is adjustable.
Delivery time was also good, in the middle of the chaos caused by Christmas and bad weather. So all in all, very pleased.
