2 Hounds Design - Freedom No-Pull Harness & Training Leash in Blue and Rainbow | Dual Leash Loops, No Pulling on Walks | Lined to Prevent Chaffing | for Small Sized Dogs (Size S, Chest 20”- 24”)

The Freedom No Pull Harness is the best of the available harness devices for dogs. I bought one for my 14 year old Lab/pointer cross, when we discovered he has some small cervical compression fractures, and also strained his neck while rough-housing with the "Big Guy" (see below, 90 pound Lab.) This has been a dream come true for him in his old age, taking all of the strain and pull of a leash on his poor old neck, and placing it squarely on his chest and torso where he is clearly more comfortable with it. The vet recommended this, and it's worked like a charm for increased comfort. I bought a large for my new-to-me 90 pound adult chocolate Lab. It fit perfectly (pay attention to the sizing charts- they're very accurate,) and the difference was noticeable the first time out. I had increased control immediately. Being the dog that he is, however, he has "adjusted" to the harness, and now pulls as much as always. Clearly more training is needed, and this is on me. The biggest advantages to this particular harness are the increased control over the dog (when he starts to go insane, forgets I'm on the other end of the leash and could be harmed by his behavior/action, and attempts to lunge into traffic, or at any man on a bicycle, or the neighbor's Boxer dog.) I have a little bit of an edge with this harness. I recommend the training package, with the funny leash that hooks to the chest and the back- this seems to make a difference giving increased control when used as indicated in the picture. Also, I don't wince at the sound of him compressing his own trachea, or windpipe, when he is straining against the leash on a regular collar. I would comfort myself with the idea that it was a self limiting problem in that if he cut off his own air supply entirely he would at least stop pulling ;) But with the harness I also don't worry about him injuring his trachea or cervical soft tissue, and costing me yet more at the vet, and himself the misery of injury. The harness is a winner on this count- more comfortable for him, and anatomically appropriate and safe. The other big selling point was my Amazon purchase came with one free repair, for the cost of postage. This seemed like a red flag at first (why would I need repair service?) But now that we're on our THIRD of these harnesses, I understand- If I put this harness on my dog more than 15 in advance of our walk, and leave him unsupervised, he chews clean through it rendering it useless. When I bought these harnesses direct from the inventor's website, they charge for the repair warranty unless you buy a sort of "extended" warranty at the time of initial purchase. When I buy from Amazon (exact same product) the seller offers to repair once at no cost to me, save postage. This is a HUGE bonus, and I recommend buying from Amazon for this reason. I bought my original 2 harnesses direct from Freedomnopullharness.com, and threw the first one out after he chewed through it. I have the second one he chewed through, and will be asking about the cost to repair the severed piece. Basically, I found this the best of all harnesses (and I've bought a bunch of different kinds in my quest for the ideal,) and my last ditch effort before using the Gentle Leader head harness (Which I may still try...)

This is my second purchase of the 2 hounds harness. Having two contact points on the harness makes a hard to control dog a lot more manageable. I first purchased one from a pet botique 9+ years ago for my 70lb tank of a pit/boxer mix. Our new adoption decided to make it his chew toy so I bought another one. They just work. Easy to put on and good quality.

I've tried everything... and I mean everything. I adopted a 10-month-old German Shepherd a few weeks ago. Within just a few hours of bringing him home, it became very apparent that he has had zero training his whole life and no manners what so ever. This can be extremely dangerous with a 62lb mouthy, hyper, giant shepherd puppy that doesn't know how to walk on a leash without jerking arms off and stubbornly does what he wants when he wants. Even after three private training sessions focusing on the leash manners, his leash manners were lacking because he is stubborn and wants to do what he wants even though he learns extremely quickly in just a few repetitions. I've bought three other no-pull harnesses and they did little to nothing. He is underweight and still built like a puppy so his chest is narrow but very deep. None of the harnesses I attempted would fit him properly. So, with the advice of my Vet and the trainer, I tried the Halti headcollar which caused a massive temper tantrum and scene in Petsmart after his last training session. He will wear it but as soon as you want to lead him with it, he loses it. This was the fourth no pull training harness I bought and it was my hail mary. This is the first harness that has more ways of adjusting so that it fit him perfectly and is extremely comfortable for him to wear. His pulling is much improved. He still fights the harness but at least I haven't hurt my shoulder again attempting to walk him. This harness is fantastic, especially if you have a hard time finding one that will fit. It does work really well and Ripley is learning with each walk to not pull with the aid of it. So, kudos on that. My body is eternally grateful. The harness itself is very well made and durable. It is heavy-duty material with very good stitching. I have been using it daily for a while now without seeing any signs of wear even when he tries to play with it. They do offer a warranty should the harness be chewed up by your dog and will replace parts of it for the cost of shipping. I think this is a nice bonus. However, the training leash that is included in the bundle, while just as well made and just as heavy-duty, did not fare as well. Ripley managed to chew it apart and now I have to order another. All in all, I gave it four stars overall only because of the leash succumbing to chewing. The harness is definitely worth five stars for its comfort, sturdiness, and durability. I just couldn't give it five overall because I paid extra for the training leash bundle and got to use it twice before it ended up in pieces in the trash. tl:dr: I would definitely recommend this harness to anyone, even if their dog doesn't pull with the caveat of: do a better job hiding the leash than I did. It won't survive om nom nom noming on it.

Great, compact harness. Not bulky but has strength and durability. Also because there is minimum material it doesn’t get wet or dirty and if it does it dries quickly. Doesn’t impede movement and is very light weight.

Excelente material, resistente, muy cómodo para mi perro 🐶

dies ist bereits das 2. Geschirr das wir für unsere Hiunde angeschafft haben und sind voll zufrieden. Das Anlegen ist kein so gefummel wie bei voelen anderen.

My dog was an extreme puller. Like I thought I was going to have wrist injuries. Since he is a hound mix, he has the belly size of a lab but a much smaller neck circumference, which made it difficult to find harness that fit him properly and stayed more or less put when he got exctied and pulled. This harness fits him very well. I like the front ring option because it does reduce pulling and the ring sits high enough on the fit that it doesn't cause the leash to get caught up in his front legs too much. I like the martingale ring in the back as well for times when he's not pulling so much because it's very easy for him not to get tangled, even as he runs from side to side. The harness is very easy to clean and is the first one I've found that fits well and doesn't cause my dog's delicate hound belly skin to get super red and chaffy. I did not find the two- carabiner leash to be as helpful as I thought it would be for reducing pulling. It seemed like the carabiner on the back ring was doing more work when he pulled, so I prefer to use a regular and trustworthy strong leash with the just the front ring.

We have a 3.5-year-old male Labrador who weighs 38.5 kilos (85lbs) and has the strength of a small car. Because of his naturally inquisitive nature, he needs to get everywhere at lightning speed which means whenever I take him out, he constantly pulls on his lead (yeah, I'm a Brit) and by the time we get home, my arms were always aching with the strain. We've tried quite a few different harnesses/restraints over the years and all to no avail. This one turned up yesterday after we returned from another torturous walk (for me) so today was the first attempt. I confess that after having read the positive reviews for this harness, I remained sceptical, however comforted by the fact that I could return it when I proved it didn't work. The harness is available in several different colours to suit the owner’s choice or match with the dog’s coat. I was concerned that the harness and lead would be somewhat flimsy, but they are extremely well made and very strong. We went out on our usual walk in the countryside and I am honestly amazed by the transformation!! Initially, there was no pulling at all until he got used to the harness. Any pulling after that was quickly corrected by a slight (and I mean slight) tug on his lead or by me simply stopping. I kept him on the double lead until we left the village where we live then had him on the single lead attached to the top of the harness for the rest of the walk. I can honestly say that today was the first time in 3.5 years that I thoroughly enjoyed taking the dog out for a walk. No more aching arms for me but more importantly, no more choking noises from my dog which I always found distressing.
