PetSafe Easy Walk Harness
Train your dog. Enjoy your walk.
This is the ideal way to prevent your dog pulling on the lead but you can be happy knowing it won’t cause any harm or discomfort. This is because the front-chest lead rests low on the breastbone, which means your dog is restrained from being wilful and is gently steered into your side, making him easier to control.
How it works – the opposition reflex
All dogs have a natural opposition reflex – if you push against them, they push back. If you pull them back, they pull away. So any harness that pulls from the dog’s back, actually works against the owner by increasing the dog’s instinct to pull forward away from them.
On the Easy Walk Harness, the lead attachment is on the front of the Harness – in the chest area (not on their back). So when the dog pulls, the pressure is applied to the chest area which activates the dog’s opposition reflex and their natural instinct lean back against the pressure – rather than moving away from it – thus reducing the pulling.
Key features
– Stops lead pulling quickly and comfortably.
– Front-chest lead attachment.
– Martingale chest loop redirects forward motion.
– Steers dogs to the side and re-directs attention onto the owner.
– Soft but strong nylon construction provides maximum comfort.
– Four adjustment points allows a reliable fit.
– Two quick snap-buckles on the shoulder and belly straps allow simple and easy fitting.
– Easy to identify each strap (due to alternate complimentary colour of belly strap).
– Never causes coughing, gagging or choking.
The right fit
Two quick snap buckles make the Easy Walk Harness easy to attach and four adjustment points let you create a right fit.
The harness is made from soft but strong nylon so it’s hardwearing yet comfortable. The Easy Walk Harness is suitable for all breeds of dog.

Brought this in the hope it would stop my dog pulling it did work for about a week but now he’s back to pulling agai
This is the second one I have bought (I lost the first one!) and I couldn’t manage without it. It’s a miracle worker if your dog pulls. It’s hard to believe but it’s like magic. My large dog is very strong and pulls on a normal lead and even on a harness which attaches to the lead on her back. This was recommended to me and I haven’t looked back. We take our dog on holidays with us and when mooching around towns it is a Godsend! Don’t know how it works – but it does!
Bought for a leash-reactive dog who tends to lunge at unfamiliar dogs. This harness gives me more control while I work on her behavior training, with the added bonus that she now walks beautifully on her lead under normal circumstances.
The harness is well-made and was easy to fit and adjust. Would definitely recommend.
I have a female mastiff, (M/L) and this lead has worked amazingly! She walks so much better, no longer pulls or tries to pull. Made walking so much easier as I have complete control and she doesn’t seem to be bothered by it either.
15 years of being pulled along by my Irish Red Setters are finally at an end. This harness is a wonder! I just wished I’d bought it before. But, after being pulled over I finally bought it and it’s one of the best things I’ve purchased in a long time. I watched the video’s on the Petsafe website and thought it was worth a try. It really does work. It is important to measure your dog correctly as the fit is all important. It needs to fit snugly so it won’t move. You are in control!
Brought to correct pulling on the leash for my GSD
Easy to fit and adjust
Easy to put on just one clip when it’s time for walkies
Corrected my dogs pulling behaviour
Really like how it clips on at the fro
I was recommended this by a friend who also had a dog that pulled, I received it yesterday and OMG it is such a clever piece of equipment. I brought the small/medium for my 10 kg cockerpoo and it fits perfectly and on first ever walk made such a difference, he seems a bit put out by it but none the less happier and I’m sure he will get used to the fact that he cant be dragging me along on his walk. The ultimate test was the walk to the park today where he is normally powering along trying to get there asap half chocking himself in the meantime. This time he was trotting along at my side but not quite making out why he couldn’t do what he normally does…hahah I’m sure he will get used to it.
Been having a lot of pulling issues with my hyper active 1 year old borderland ordered this on Monday it came yesterday and my walk this morning has been the nicest I’ve ever been on with her,would definitely recommend
I never find the time to write product reviews, know I should to help others but always forget despite my good intentions. This harness has changed my life! I have wasted hundreds on Halti/other more expensive harnesses trying to stop my 9 month old Sheepadoodle (Old English/Poodle cross) from pulling my arm out my socket. This harness gently pulls at his front and re establishes the communication between excited pooch and owner. It even worked when a squirrel scurried in front of us, normally I would have been horizontal with an event like this. Don’t waste your time with others, can’t believe it took me so long to find it!
This is a great harness and it certainly prevents pulling like magic. I bought a medium and it could do with being a bit smaller. It’s not as snug a fit as I think it should be but the sizing on the ‘small’ suggested it wouldn’t fit at all. I’dine To have been able to try it first.
Very good. Length good, adjusts easily. Only problem easily chewed by dogs.
I have one already for my first dog, this one was for my new one. It’s the best harness i’ve Found to immediately stop them from pulling.
This works perfectly to turn my Bernese Mountain dog puppy who pulls with the strength of a shire horse into a model dog who happily walks to heel!
This is a gift from the gods! My 2-year old collie used to relentlessly pull, making it almost impossibly to walk her at the same time as being out with my young children. With this harness she stopped pulling almost instantly! 10/10 would recommend
I bought this harness for my 3yr old spaniel. Walks on a lead with her have always been less than pleasant for the both of us (or whoever walks her) due to her incessant pulling. We had tried everything to get her to stop but nothing had worked, so we would just take her somewhere we could let her off lead. This harness is incredible! On our first time out she had almost completely stopped pulling, she was wagging her tail and a big smile on my face the whole way round. I am in absolute disbelief that one product could help so much after just one walk! Would recommend to anyone!!
THIS IS GODS GIFT IT WORKS FOR MY SPROCKER AND I HAVE GOT EVERY TYPE THAT HAS BEEN MADE AND NOTHING WORKS WHEN YOU FIRST USE IT IT MUST BE TIGHT TO WORK I FOUND WITH HER PULLING THE CHEST WAS WORKING LOOSE SO I SEW IT AND NOW DOES NOT MOVE I DID GET THE MED BUT WAS TOO BIG BUT THIS IS GREAT
Very good but the deluxe is a better fit and more comfortable and well with the extra money. See my review of the deluxe which is the blue one.
Best harness I’ve ever used for my Airedales. Helps with the pulling, and they have never pulled out of them. Front leading, great value for money. Highly recommend
UPDATE: just after I wrote this I took my girl out and she pulled out of the harness. This is the first time in 3 + years this has happened, she’s pulled out of every other harness I’ve had (and that’s a lot)
This is amazing. My girl is very stocky and extremely strong. I had no control of her and this harness has now changed this! It makes walking my dogs pleasurable again. My only negative comment is, I measured her and got a large but I think I should have gone for a medium, but maybe I measured her wrong. It’s still great and makes my life a lot easier. Thank you
Works very well, although would prefer the deluxe version (slightly broader straps with a backing and better links generally), in this colour but does not seemo be available.
Fantastic. Our Golden Doodle has not pulled once since using this.
Be craeful on sizes though as this was way way to big
Fits my lab perfect , I buy the amazon used for less and when they arrive they look like new so no hessatation in buying more when needed
Excellent product. I have had one of these harnesses before and they really do work. My dog does not pull when wearing this harness. Fast delivery as well
It’s really helps a lot. I have the medium sized one too for another dog. the fit is probably larger than you might expect.
Best thing I have ever bought. Long story short our big lab became uncontrollable on the lead. (Spooks easy) I feel so much more in control and so does he. We are now getting to the point that he stays with me and he watches me. I believe the lead and harness has made him aware of this due to when he pulls the harness pulls him to the side stopping him. So much better for his neck and my arms.
Perfect for my gsd/Czech wolf, she is 10 months old and they naturally walk in front, this harness is great quality and she is now walking happily next to me.
Got the medium for a lab / springer cross. Only just fit. Tried a large and shrunk it and it fit perfectly.
Able to walk the dog with one hand and very little pulling, still a long way to go but making walks a bit more enjoyable and dog is finally getting the idea not to pull as much as she did.
Worked well for my Beagle who pulls a lot. He is much better at walking and when he does try to pull, I feel as though I have more control and I don’t have to pull him back as hard to stop him. Kinder than a face harness and worked better for us. Bought a medium but had to adjust the harness myself as even on the smallest adjustment it was slightly too big for my dog but the smaller one would have been too small.
I have a havanese who is very low to the ground and pulls. Having tried many front attaching harnesses this is the only one which has worked well. It’s not perfect, you have to be careful the lead doesn’t go under her leg, but the lead and clasp are small and light so not as to interfere with her walking.
Wrong for my dog, a hound with big chest and slim hindquarters. However we adjusted it it didn’t fit but is a good quality item at a good price for the average shape dog. Nice quality lead included too.
Although our breed grow so very quickly, we have bought a medium sized one for our puppy & no doubt it will only last a couple of months before we buy him an XL one.
Overall, a brilliant produc
This harness was recommended to me by a dog trainer for my large male Dalmatian who pulled badly on the lead. I had tried lots of others before this (halti, shoulder harness etc) but the beauty of this harness is that it connects at the chest. This stops my dog being able to pull from his shoulders and literally worked within minutes. We have been using it for over a year (twice daily for a minimum of hour) and he has never had any issues with chaffing although I measured and fitted it carefully from the outset. I would definitely recommend it.
However, not happy that return postage was provided for my “convenience” yet I’ve had 5 deducted for postage!!!! It does not cost 5 to post. So I’m pretty annoyed about that!
Recommended by my puppy class leader, and has adjusted to grow with him, he walks nicely on this though it’s awkward to get used to a front chest position for the walker for a while. Leaves the dog free to move easily and fully. He seems happy enough in it..
One of many types of harnesses to help stop dogs pulling at the lead. I found it pretty effective, but my dog is a strong puppy and wants to explore and walk faster than me, so does still pull a bit with it on, but not so much as he does without it. It is simple to adjust to the size of our dogs and with one quick release fastening, simple to put on and take off the dog. I like the longer lead that came with it.
But this is brilliant!!!! Life changing!
My springer spaniel has always been impossible on the lead and no amount of stppping, turning away, figure of 8 models, canny collars, Halties have helped. I tried everything going.
I am getting another springer pup next week and the thought of two dragging me down the road filled me with dread. Yes, I could drive to a nearby field or beach but there’s nothing quite the relaxed trot along a cycle path – or quick nip to the shop which I could never do with my 8 year old spaniel.
I was recommended this product from a Facebook friend. The science seemed believeable, and not a too hefty price tag so took a chance.
I thought I would try it for the worst possible situation. Just got in from work and the pooch was excitable. I needed to pick up milk – I know a 5 minute walk would not be enough but wanted to see if it worked at the worst time. BOY it did.
No arm being yanked from socket, no blisters where he has Yanked the lead from my grasp, no being pulled over (yes it’s happened) when stopping to pick up a poo! And no horrible sound of choking and gasping from my dog!
I even got to see what this loose leash walking was about!!!!
Highly recommend this and thank you – walking will now be much more pleasureable and will be buying another for the new dog!!!
I love it! Hearing Dogs for Deaf People recommended it for my miniature poodle Hearing Dog who pulls and this is an issue with me using a wheelchair. Canine Partners dogs all use this. It has been fantastic – no training needed, the dog adapted immediately. If I accidentally put his lead on his collar, he pulls and then I realise I have not clipped it to the Easy Walk harness. I recommend it to EVERYONE. I am going to buy one for a friend’s dog. This is GREAT!
We have a 10month old black lab puppy who although has been very good, was terrible for pulling when on lead.Nearly pulling me off my feet.Tried a few non pull harnesses which didnt work…Bought this one last month and its like night and day!!!!!No more pulling and a pleasure walking him..Even my 75 year old Mum enjoys taking him for walks now….Definately recommend!!!!!!!
This is excellent for stopping our dog from pulling whilst on the lead.
It’s a nice Easy Walk harness with adjustable straps. My dog uses it daily and it’s pretty good. The leash is too big though and i use a different shorter leash but for the price it’s a really good product.
Very helpful item and nice material.
Our walks got longer since we got it because it is not as tiring anymore. Of course it is not a magical item and our dog is trying to pull as much as she used to do but she cannot put much pressure. (We got it couple of days ago and working on it, we are yet to see improvement in the behavior).
Much easier to tie and untie compare to our previous harness, which was a traditional body fitted type.
Finally, we did not observe any sign of discomfort on the dog’s side, she seems to like it.
This harness is amazing. I've gone from having my dog walk me to me walking my dog in just a day! It really does work and fits and feels lovely. Very good value for money as well!
Always had trouble with my dog Buster who is 11years old when going for walks. The lead has worked like magic, he is a different dog, no pulling just happy to walk at my side. Highly recommended
This is our second harness…..bought this one for a splash of colour for our white Golden-Doodle.
Arrived promptly, love the new colour, medium/large fits a Golden-doodle perfectly. Fantastic quality, strong and durable harness & lead for an amazing price, washes up as new, no seams or sharp edges on inside of harness & does what it says on the tin…..dog walks beautifully beside me, with little or no pulling at all.
Have read many negative reviews on these harnesses, saying they rub & cause sores, but if you make sure it fits correctly, and inspect areas where it is in contact with your dog regularly & use common sense all will be good! Happy pup, happy huma
My dog is so much calmer on our walks. As a young retriever she can be very excitable. She was almost always walking with a loose lead when we bought this harness but only when there wasn’t any distractions! Now I have much more confidence walking past other dogs/people without her pulling towards them. She did learn quickly however that if she stops and pulls sideways the harness isn’t that effective!
Overall very happy with our purchase!
I purchased this product as was having problems walking my dog have been using for six months and has now made taking my dog out
a complete pleasure and i have total control even if he goes to lunge at a cat ,he has no discomfort and the only advice i can give if you
purchase one follow the fitment instructions and check for adjustment for the first few times on using this harness ,i had no problems with
mine even though my dog has sensitive skin especially around his armpit area
We have used the easy walk for our collie puppy, who is bouncy and used to pull a lot. The harness works very well to discourage pulling with the loop worn in the front. We have found it keeps out pup’s attention focussed more on us — whenever he lunges ahead his weight is pulled back to our legs. You can also rotate the harness so the loop is on the dog’s back, if you prefer to walk that way.
It’s constructed from good quality straps, I think it is sturdier than it looks in the amazon photo.
The harness comes with a small lead (nice bonus!) which we found a bit too thin for every-day use, but is a great back-up to have on hand.
Does the trick (new it would as I had a similar one which the dog chewed on so was replacement). Just recently have been told that have to be careful in situations where the dog does still start pulling hard on the leash (rarely, when it sees a rabbit or wants to play with another dog) as was told it can hurt his shoulder. Thinking of getting a normal collar additionally so I canm changeover the leash in those cases.
I bought this for my little jack Russell, we have tried all sorts over the years to try and stop her pulling on the lead,and his is the only harness that works! Overall we are very pleased with the harness but have only given it 4 stars due to the fact that despite measuring according to pet safes website it still isn’t the best fit,maybe we have an odd size dog but she frequently gets one of her front legs the wrong side of the chest strap,which doesn’t seem to stay tight.
This harness really does reduce the tendency of my dog to pull. I haven’t found that the harness stops pulling in general. She still pulls when the lead is on her collar, or a standard harness, but not on this no-pull harness.
Love this harness as can walk my huskies with ease. The only thing is the adjustment ring keeps moving but still worth every penny
This is the third harness we’ve tried to correct excessive pulling by our puppy. The others worked for a few days but this has now been much longer and we’re really pleased with the results.
This is a great invention and it does work it stops pulling dramatically and makes walks so much more enjoyable, one thing I would say is remember to take the harness off the dog as soon as you get home as I’ve been caught out twice now and my puppy has chewed through the breast part of the harness in a minute, it would be so much better if they could design it in leather, I did get a full refund from Amazon the first time waiting to hear about the second. But it’s so good I’ve ordered a third one and I’m not going to make the same mistake again.
This is the 3rd Easy Walk harness I’ve bought for my miniature poodle who pulls like hell with an ordinary collar or harness. I bought the first one on the recommendation of the dog behaviourist I consulted and it was excellent advice. Another customer said it chafed her dog – yes it does but to avoid that I made a fleece tube to encase the under strap and no more rubbing. I’d recommend having 2 or 3 as with this wet winter it’s not good to put a wet harness on your dog.
This is a replacement for a lost harness. It works brilliantly. I particularly like the fact that the lead fastening on the chest means it does not put any pressure anywhere, especially the neck and spine.
Love this harness, really helps to manage my dogs pulling on the lead and he doesn’t mind wearing it at all! I thought he might be uncomfortable with it against his scapula but he barely notices, just stops him pulling, love it. And it comes with a nice little booklet detailing how to use the harness to train a better loose leash walk
I have both a husky and a GSD/husky that both like to pull to the point I hated walking them one at a time never mind together. These harnesses have made it so much easier to walk them. I have so much more control now they don’t pull. I can honestly say these harnesses have made it fun to walk my doggies again!
Have a strong GSD-X who LOVES nothing more than pulling against a back harness like her life depended on it… this stops her doing so.
It also makes her think twice about chasing cats and squirrels, as when she hits the limit of her extender lead she gets flipped round like a hand-break turn.
Best of all, the dog sees to like it (she’s always keen and excited with it comes out) so it must be comfortable enough for her too.
I love these. I walk dogs for a living and sometimes I get some real pullers that pretty much pull my back out. I have a couple of these to hand in case I need them and they instantly transform my walk from being dragged around to having a loose leash! Highly recommended
It works very well and was recommended to me by my dog training group,I would recommend this produc
This worked immediately for my 33kg Labradoodle. And he really seems to like it. Was excited to see it after the first walk!!!! The Halti head collar worked excellently too…but he obviously hated it ’cause hid every time I went to put it on. And the Lupi harness was okay, but didn’t stop pulling, just made it more difficult for him to do so….I must admit (embarrassed face) that I put the harness on upside down the first time I used it, with the grey bit on his back….I thought it was a bit baggy, and that I’d ordered the wrong size….but it still worked fantastically. Now that I have readjusted it and have it on the right way round it’s even better!…So much so that I have now ordered a second one for my other doodle, only joined us a few days ago, as I think she will love it too.
No discomfort or rubbing, but I will keep an eye on it due to reading other reviews.
I have only given it 4 stars as I agree that it would give peace of mind if it had some fleece or padding under the armpits and I think that though the free lead is a nice touch, it seems unnecessary to include it and the cost of that could go on padding instead!
This harness is just fantastic. We have a German Shepherd cross Husky puppy, who is very big and likes to think he leads the walks. He used to pull on a normal lead and would somehow manage to bite through other harnessess, or even point blank refuse to wear one. This one does the job, he no longer pulls and he is happy to wear it. Would recommend it everytime.
A bit fiddly to adjust and fit on the dogs correctly but well worth it. Harnesses with the ring on the back give dogs far too much control and pulling power. These harnesses give control back to the owner without damaging the necks of small breed dogs.
Bought these for my 2 as I have damaged back and cannot take them pulling. I had tried previous ‘no pull’ harnesses to no effect. This one looked lightweight and insubstantial but worked straight away and is easy to fit and put on. No rubbing as mentioned in some posts (though my dogs are hairy). Great product for the money.
I have brought these for my dogs since they were pups I have 2 collie they stop them pulling easy to fit and remove my pups have chewed a couple not tne makes fault the only problem is the clip breaks I have had 2that I have had to replace but they had been worn a while the important thing is the work stop dog pulling and do not rub the dog unlike others I have brough
his harness is brilliant does stop pulling on lead and my dog has no problem wearing it at all got used to it straight away.
I bought it after numerous harness that only last a few moths with my Springer Spaniel. It definitely helps in the pulling but as all harness it’s not 100% effective. It seems so far more solid than the others. My only concern is the fact that it rubs under his legs which I am hoping won’t get worse. My conclusion is we need to spend time on a proper training for him to stop pulling and to heel. The non-pull harness are just a temporary solution.
Made a huge difference to my dog pulling but rubbed him under the armpits – would be great if it was padded
Bought this for my Brittany who was pulling badly with his last harness. Was worried it didn’t look very comfy but he seems unfased by it. Easy to fit, quick delivery and most importantly completely stopped his ability to pull!! Would recommend!!
It’s pretty great, seems to have stopped my 6m/o lab puppy from pulling, they’re not a magic bullet, but they’re pretty damn impressive.
Sizing seems odd – i measured my pup behind the legs but ended up needing a size up from the one i ordered, not only that, but it only seems to fit when i put it on upside down, which is odd.
Overall though, yeah – fantastic!
Takes a while to figure out how to adjust and fit but works pretty well when on.
This is not going to make your dog walk perfectly to heel but it is a good way to prevent your dog pulling you everywhere.
Training alongside is necessary but would probably render the harness ineffectual!
I’ve not tried this particular one on my dog as it’s to replace his first Easy Fit Harness. My dog chewed through the harness in the car
(a new habit), where I didn’t tighten it up across the chest. Back to harness, I have a disability, and found that I could walk my dog in comfort, without him taking me for a walk. For me the “Easy Walk Harness” wins 100%.
It really works I have a large akita who use to pull but after trying the harness a few times he now walks at the side of me most of the time .Just a word of warning you get a lead with this harness I would advice any one with a big dog to spend a little extra and buy a better lead as mine snapped . But the harness seems strong enough and at end of day that’s what I wanted aharness the lead was not expected so over all very good
Once initial adjustments have been made it’s easy to put on. Walking on lead is much improved. I don’t think the description mentions it but It also comes with a lead.
The harness is working ok for me, but it certainly hasn’t been the “miraculous cure” to stop my dog from pulling that some previous previous comments have suggested.
Does what it says on the tin. Great value, probably not as sturdy as the original Halti, but more than capable of controlling an ordinary dog. My dog is very pulley and this harness works well.
I have bought this for our 9 month old Springer that pulls us around from post to post..In the past I have tried different harnesses but didn’t work at all. This one didn’t stop the pulling completely but stopped him pulling our arms out!! It gave us more control over his pulling. Our walks are more enjoyable now. I don’t think there is any harness that stops dogs pulling unless you have the time and energy and money to train your dog!! For us the harness made a big change but didn’t stop him pulling tho..
was a great price and a great purchase so this does help with walking dogs that do pull me! yep
We have a very large Labrador/Staffie cross.. He is a gentle dog but very strong.. and he used to take me for walk rather than me taking him.. So i bought the Easy Walk Harness and would thoroughly recommend it as he is now much much better.. Hardly any pulling now at all, which makes our walks much more enjoyable.. 🙂
This is the best Harness I have tried , and I have tried them all !!! I truly have !!
Just waiting for another to be delivered for pup number 2 !!
To be fair it dosnt stop pulling , but helps reduce pulling and I have found it helps you gain the dogs attention , which is really needed for them to engage with a guided walk, otherwise my pups will lead the way ..in their way …… you still need to be training whilst using this as a helpful tool
Definitely impressed
Thankyou …better walking days ahead .
Walking with my cockapoo puppy was getting impossible, he just wanted to get everywhere at top speed. The ordinary collar and lead was causing him to choke and I was stopping every few strides to get him to listen and then he was off again pulling for England. The Petsafe easy walk harness has changed all that, he still pulls but I have more control. The ring that you attach the lead to is situated at the front and sits flat on his chest so that when you pull back it brings the dog around gently to face you. I highly recommend this harness, just take a little time to fit it properly which is really easy. I still use the collar and lead in short bursts for training but when I want a nice relaxing walk I use the pet harness.
I also think that using the pet harness has helped with training as we are not in a permanent fight and the puppy is able to concentrate on my commands.
Easy to use and keep clean. Excellent to help train my dog to walk to heel. My dog walks obediently by my side all the time with with no problem when in the harness. The harness prevents my dog from trying to rush forward but it seems very kind because there is never any straining on the neck as with a collar. I would recommend this product to everyone.
I purchased this for a Toy Poodle x King Charles Cavalier, who had previously been walked in a back-leading harness, which had taught him to pull and lead plunge (despite clicker training a LLW). He’s a small dog, but he can generate a lot of pulling force in a back-leading harness. Initially I ordered the “small” size, which proved to be too big (because I was silly and chose not to measure my dog), but I thought it looked well made so I exchanged it for the next size down (extra small), which does fit. The size of the buckles, webbing and sliders does vary according to what size harness your dog requires.
This harness does not perform miracles; it will not result in a dog which instantly heels (that’s what training is for), but for me it did result in a dog I could walk (well, this might be a minor miracle!). Now if he tries to pull the amount of force he generates is a lot more manageable, and he’s also more likely to re-orientate to me than he was whilst on a back-leading harness.
However there are downsides to this harness; the sliders used to adjust the length of the straps do loosen, especially the ones on the chest piece, since they are under the most tension. I think this problem might just be confined to the “extra small” size, since this is the only one which uses metal sliders – the other sizes use plastic and are less slippery. My dog is quite near the biggest size for this harness anyway, but if you need to significantly shorten the straps from their biggest setting there is a risk your dog could step out of the harness. (If your dog is fully grown you could just stitch the straps at the length you want, which would completely negate this problem).
Secondly the buckles are quite tight and fiddly compared to his previous harness (a Ferplast one ) – it requires a decent amount of pressing force to open them, which isn’t great if you have small fingers and a wriggly dog.
I’m not sure this is wearing as well as his previous harness; after a couple of months the webbing around the martingale part has begun to fray.
his is a great item and the delivery was fast. It is very easy to put on and I would recommend this to friends.
his harness is great for my strong pulling dog a great harness to use in crowds as you can steer your dog out of the way you might needed to use a double ended lead with this harness as some dogs can get out of them just as a safety measure but its worth giving this harness a try if you cant walk your dog because it pulls you my dog’s a springer and the medium fits ok with adjustments i use this harness on every walk now my hands dont hurt or my shoulders
Bought this for my sister who had rescued a Staffie and was have trouble taking it for a walk as it pulled all the time. It took a few attempts to get the correct fit with adjustments to the harness needed before it was in the correct position but when in place is was like a miracle – no pulling and walking the dog is no longer a nightmare. She has had a few comments from people thinking the harness is on the wrong way as the hook to attach the lead is on the fron of the dogs chest but she has recommended it to all he dog walking friends.
easy to use and can be left on while the dog runs around. Lightweight suitable for small and medium dog, Stops too much pulling, would recommend.
I have two border collie’s that are nine months old. When we go for walks with just a collar and lead the both pull like mad. From the first time we put these on they walk great. I did find them quite difficult to adjust especially on one of the dog’s who would not keep still for long, and after a couple of walks the front part goes a bit loose, but you just need to adjust which is easy,once adjusted they work great.
After walking for a couple of days, puppy walks perfectly by my side and not in front of me anymore. She also doesn’t pull to get to other dogs, walking past them with just a look, sometimes a little pull so she’s facing towards you again.
Definitely recommend this!
