PetSafe Easy Walk No-Pull Dog Harness - The Ultimate Harness to Help Stop Pulling - Take Control & Teach Better Leash Manners - Helps Prevent Pets Pulling on Walks, Large, Black/Silver

My dog is a 24 lb pug mix. She is sweet and wonderful but nobody wanted to walk her! She pulls so badly and constantly. She slips out of any harness we buy her. It's awful! Ugh! She's getting chubby from lack of exercise and missing out on lots of good family fun. This harness was my last hope.I am blown away!Even after I read all the five star reviews, I was skeptical. I bought this harness and got same-day shipping. I walked her that evening and I couldn't believe my eyes! The first time she pulled, the harness snugged up on her chest and gently turned her to face me; she stopped immediately. She turned and kept walking, but slower and more mindfully. I gave her some slack in the extendable leash and then locked it down--as soon as she pulled again she immediately stopped again. That's it. Pulling is over. My 13 year old is now walking her every day and loving it! She doesn't pull, she minds the "heel" commands. If she gets too excited and starts to pull, she stops as soon as the harness snugs around her. She's starting to walk better with just her regular collar and no harness at all. This harness appears to be breaking her pulling habit entirely!!Here is what you need to know with fitting. My dog is a mixed breed and is barrel-chested for her size. I really worried that I would never get the right fit. I have a hard time buying any harness for her. If I get it large enough for her chest, it's too large for her paws and neck and she can slip it easily. We've been through many. Not the case with this one!Fitting: Measure the largest part of your dog's chest. Buy the size that most narrowly matches that chest measurement. My dog's chest is 24 inches, which fits in the size range for the Medium which is for 20-28" chest. I took her PetsMart and tried the medium on her and it was HUGE! I couldn't make it tight enough to stay on her. So I ordered the Small/Medium which is for 19-25" chest--a more narrow range for her chest measurement. I was worried it would borderline on too tight. It isn't. I had to snug it up quite a bit to make it fit her.As for putting it on and taking it off: Don't unbuckle everything!!!! It's too confusing. You only need to work with the buckle for the chest strap, which buckles at the side of the chest so you can actually see it!! These harnesses are all 2-color. The strap that buckles around her chest is the second color--in my case silver. The main color, in my case black, is the whole rest of the harness. Only unbuckle the part that buckles around your dog's chest. (See the attached photos) Stand in front of your dog. Hold the harness so the leash loop is facing you and dangling at the bottom (the leash loop is the metal circle on which you will clip the leash to the harness--it will be on your dog's chest, not the top of the back as with other harnesses). Slip the harness over your dog's head and then just buckle the colored strap under the chest and you're all set. Take it off by unbuckling the chest strap and slipping it right over your dog's head. It's not a tight squeeze and is actually so much easier than trying to slip both paws into the leg holes while holding your dog down and buckling the strap with your third arm. This is the easiest time I've ever had getting her into a harness.You need to know that this harness will loosen itself after some time walking. Not it's strongest feature, but I couldn't even take off a star for this as it is such a miracle to be able to take our dog with us to parks, walks around the neighborhood, etc. There are 4 points on this harness that can be adjusted to fit your dog's individual shape and size. This is very much a strong point for me because my dog is not perfectly proportional. When you first take it out of the box, put it on your dog and check to see which points need adjustment. I can adjust it while it's on her, but it's easier if I take it off, adjust, and put it back on. I don't have to adjust it in the middle of walks. But you should check the adjustment every time you put it on your dog.Pros: My dog doesn't pull anymore (life altering)!!! Great price (Amazon charged half what pet stores charge--I did not get a discount for this review!); easy to put on/take off; quality construction; 4 points of adjust-ability for a good custom fit.Cons: none so far (need for periodic fit adjustment is not a big deal to me)I would recommend this to a friend. I actually recommended it to a total stranger--an older lady in the pet store (without her dog) who said she has a Min-Pin she can't walk or take anywhere because he pulls her so much. I was so enthusiastic she bought one right then and there. My dog was standing there being an angel, wearing her Easy Walk Harness.Please tell me if you found my review helpful. Please ask if you have questions. Thanks and good luck! I hope this solves your fur baby pulling problem. It certainly solved mine.

This was an immediate change for the better in my 85lb English Shepherd. He had previously been pulling and occasionally bolting nearly knocking me off balance. It was getting dangerous for me to take him for his twice a day walks. Now is it a shear pleasure to go for our walks. He sits for his harness to be attached, willingly, as it seems to be comfortable. Since the D ring in front, he has no desire to pull away. Bolting is off the table now. Crazy, but it actually has cured his issues instantly. Excellent investment because it works, it’s also heavy duty but light weight allowing for excellent air flow instead of his previous harness that overheated him. Great value for the money, well worth every penny!!!

I'm not sure what rating to give this harness–it seems like it does its job well and it's well-made, but it ultimately did not work for my pomeranian, and I wanted to alert other pom owners that this harness may not be a good match for the breed because of their stature and coat.I took my pom on a couple of walks with the harness and it did help a lot with pulling–the second he tried to pull too far, it gently guided him back and prevented the pull. For dogs that can be properly fitted and aren't super low to the ground, I think the harness is awesome and will be a great tool for getting them to walk without pulling.Unfortunately, the issues I had are: 1) because my dog is so low to the ground, attempting to leave any slack on the leash at all when it was clasped to his chest (vs his back, on a traditional harness) made it too easy for him to step over the leash and get tangled in it. I had to stop constantly to reposition the leash, which was annoying to both of us. And when the leash wasn't getting tangled in his front legs, it was flopping around and hitting him in the face/chin area, causing him to try and bite at it. I think it's just because there's so little distance between his chin, chest, and feet/the ground that there's no room for the leash to hang freely without either being in his face or under his feet. And there needs to be at least a little slack when using the harness, or else every movement the dog makes results in him being jerked to the side. I don't want him pulling, but I also want him to be able to move without getting yanked around every two inches! It can also be dangerous–before I realized what he was doing, he tried to pull up some stairs (in my building, as I was getting ready to unclip him and get in the elevator), and he got simultaneously jerked back and tangled in the leash, which caused the leash to wrap around his body/legs and he tumbled back down the stairs, unable to free his legs or stop the fall. This all happened in a matter of about two seconds, so I wasn't able to intervene before it happened. Thankfully he was okay, but it was scary! I'm working on training him not to pull, but we're not there yet, and I don't like the idea that in a split second he can pull and end up in a dangerous situation like that. If he tried to pull up (or down) stairs in a regular harness, he'd just reach the end of the lead and not be able to go any further, vs being yanked back down/up.After all that, I thought maybe the harness just wasn't fitted properly the first time around (even though I'd spent a considerable amount of time adjusting it, but that brings me to issue 2): his small stature and extremely full coat made attempting to fit the harness basically impossible. I couldn't really follow the fitting instructions as-written, because he just has so much coat that simply laying the straps on his body and then tightening them to the appropriate length was impossible. I could either fit the harness on top of his coat, which meant it wasn't tight enough once it worked its way down past his fluff, or else nestle it down into the coat to get it closer to his skin–but then I couldn't see the harness at all to tell whether it was positioned properly. When the harness is fully clipped on, you literally can't even tell that he's wearing it, let alone tell if it's sitting where it's supposed to. I tried putting it on him loosely and then adjusting it while it was on his body, but adjusting the fiddly little straps while fighting against a massive amount of coat also wasn't a good solution. I tried different methods of fitting it for about an hour before deciding to just go back to his old back-clip harness and accept that it's just going to take a little longer to train him in loose leash walking than I'd hoped. :(For most dogs, I think this is a great solution, but f you have a pom (or another short and fluffy dog), be aware that it may be hard to fit and hard for your dog to walk in it.

My friend recommended this harness and boy was she right. Bought for Cheese my Terrier (M) and Mac my Chiweenie (S) who notoriously pull like crazy. Walks were not pleasant. Although a little tricky to get on, it was a freakin miracle. As soon as we started our walk, there was zero pulling. They didn’t even have to get used to it.My terrier weighs 32 lbs & measured 26” around/15” chest. Ordered a M and M/L. The M fit perfect. Chiweenie weighs 19 lbs & measured 20”/9” and S fit perfect. The harness is marked inside for chest, belly & shoulder, so helped to figure it out. I was concerned when ordering if the leash in the front would be weird, but they didn’t even notice.Really pleased with this. Worth every cent and Mac & Cheese are happy.
