Gooby Escape Free Easy Fit Harness - Hot Pink, Medium - No Pull Step-in Patented Small Dog Harness with Quick Release Buckle - Perfect On The Go No Pull Harness for Small Dogs or Medium Dog Harness

This design seems sensable, but in practical use is NOT escape proof. My puppy mill, leary of everything, fearful, rescued Mini Schnauzer backed out of this harness twice yesterday and it took only seconds for him to do so. He was supervised both times and thank God I was right there. I was lucky that I was able to corral my rescue dog before he ran away.I have been using this harness for 3 +weeks. One of it's design flaws is that you have to constantly adjust the straps because they loosen up. That is a design issue that needs to be addressed. The harness may also be too soft which allows easier escape.I have NO CONFIDENCE in this harness and do NOT recommend this for a rescue dog or any dog with fear or other issues. Should the dog panic they can easily back out of this harness Please do not buy and use this harness assuming that your dog is safe and cannot get out of the harness. It is NOT escape proof as claimed.For the record my rescue Mini has a chest size of 18.5 inches and was wearing a size small.Going forward I will also use a leash on my dog's collar at the same time I have the leash on the harness so that I have a back up system in case he starts to escape this harness again. I will also look into other harnesses.Most harnesses are not really escape proof, but this one advertises itself as such and that is just not the case.

I've tried all kinds of collars and harnesses for Agatha, and this is the best so far. My other Chi wears the Gooby Choke Free Step-in Comfort X and it fits him perfectly, but it didn't work for her. She has a large chest, and the sizing on this was odd, because her measure is 17", the small size is 17-19", yet it seemed to just fit, not be on the small side as you'd expect. In any case, it fits well. The little plastic sliders for loosening or tightening slipped and became uneven a couple of times and I had to readjust them, but now they are in place, which is good because they seem a bit flimsy and I don't want them to break. I had wanted the orange color, but it was not available; this turquoise turned out to be a good choice. Now for the important thing: the harness gives me control over her when she tries to lunge for another dog. I shorten the retractable leash and pull up on it, and then she cannot do it. And she definitely can't get out of this harness as she did out of others or out of her collar. i like that there is nothing to constrict her neck. Also, this harness does not have a long piece that attaches to the leash, so when you take the leash off, there is nothing hanging down. Not that I leave the harness on, but if it is on for a little while, it does not have anything in the way. In all, I'm happy with this purchase, and she does not resist having it put on.

While I feel like the concept of this no escape harness worked well (as the dog pulls, the harness slightly tightens leaving no gaps for the dog to escape through), the quality and durability of the harness is awful. I bought 2 of these on September 5, 2018. In January, one of the harnesses plastic tabs broke as my 10 pound dog ran out on his lead - so the tab that you attach the end of the lead/leash to literally snapped into 3 pieces leaving him free to roam. The second harness, that my 12 pound dog wears is about to tear through the strap (pictures attached for this one) - my husband noticed when taking the dog off the lead - so glad he caught it as it looks like it was close to breaking all the way through! Overall very poor quality and durability on several different pieces/materials on this harness. I would not recommend or buy again.

Actually, my little Chihuahua Bella asked me to write this for her because herpaws keep hitting too many keys at once.She wants me to tell you this is the most comfortable harness she has ever worn.She doesn't like harnesses but if she has to wear one THIS is the one SHE would pick.Easy on, easy off. And soooo comfortable! Give your fav doggie a treat when you takeher for her/his walk by getting he/himr one of these. YOU BOTH will be glad you did!

Had high hopes for this harness, but after a few uses I noticed skin burn underneath my Dachshund's front arms. Tried adjusting and it did not help. Wish I could return, but outside of the return window. I do not recommend.

I really like the idea of this harness. However, it has two flaws. 1) the rubber 'tabs' that are supposed to keep the harness tight do not stay in place. They slide up and the harness becomes loose on the dog. I am constantly hand-tightening them .. pulling them down to make the harness snug. 2) the material to make the red portion of the harness was not a good choice at all. It is a weaved pattern of tiny 'strings' or something like that. Dogs are going to scratch. When my small terrier scratched this harness a few times, first day she wore it, she tore it up. I am trying to attach a photo of the mess the harness is in now.

This is definitely the best harness I've found for my dog and I have tried MANY brands.The reason I'm not giving this five stars is because after the dog wears it for a while and the material stretches, a dog CAN escape from this, especially if you are pulling a dog toward you.But that said, there are many products that are not as effective after a long period of wear. I write this just to say that no dog owner should ever rely on any harness 100%. This is, however, an excellent harness. I first bought a different harness by this company and the material began fraying immediately. It was a purple harness and I can't remember what it was made from. This one does NOT fray and is MUCH better.My dog is also very comfortable in this harness and it doesn't cause him any irritation.

My pug managed to escape from 2 harnesses prior to trying this one, which a friend recommended. We've been using it for 2 weeks now and she's not managed to wriggle out of it yet! She is still a pup and quite wary of new places and situations so spends a fair bit of time dragging back, but this harness has held tight. I'm a Gooby convert and have recommended the brand to a number of others!

We have needed to try a lot of harnesses and this one has ex excellent balance between comfort for the dog and security. We believe it will be difficult for our dog to back out of the harness because if he pulls against the harness it will tighten around his body. A very good product which I am happy to give 5 stars.

Really fast delivery. Excellent quality, expensive but quality. Fits well and I’ve tried lots of different ones, my dog is exactly in between sizes on most harness makes. Wanted one without buckles behind legs as they rub him when he gets hay fever red skin under armpits. This is perfect.

bought two harnesses. great fit, very secure. One dog is an escape artist so the adjustment clips are really good and firm. They can run off lead easily and the harness stays in place

Extra small for two chihuahua dogs. No longer able to escape. Tried many before, wasting our money. Absolutely brilliant.
