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, Small/Medium, Apple Green/Gray

I have gone through numerous harnesses as my puppy either outgrows (or chews through) them. Although not perfect, this is my favorite one to date after using it for the last two months.After a learning curve for initial set-up and adjustment, it is quick and easy to put on or take off. Unfortunately, the front chest strap requires repeated adjustments more days than not due to constant loosening w/ each use. This lightweight harness is most welcome w/ the desert climate. Who wants to run around w/ a heavy "coat" or covering in triple digit temps? Some of his previous harnesses still placed pressure in just the "right" (er, wrong) area that they resulted in choking whenever he pulled. This one eliminates that choking.I have heard numerous claims from trainers and owners alike that this specific harness is a magical harness that eliminates all pulling. Perhaps for some dogs it does magically eliminate pulling, but my pup apparently took that as a challenge . . . which he won. It did reduce his pulling to some extent, but there are occasions where he decides that turning front somersaults is more fun than walking nicely. In general, "no pull" is accomplished through training. This is a great tool to help alongside that training, but it is unlikely to solve your pup's pulling of its own accord--especially if you have a heavy puller.Overall, an acceptable cost-effective, lightweight harness that allows for better range of motion.

Wow, this has been life changing already and I only received it a day ago. I have a pretty well trained 70 lb athletic golden retriever. We walk in a downtown area everyday and generally he is well behaved. The only issues I have is when he has pent up energy and wants to say hello to another dog or human he will pull to go greet them and he is so strong he will pull me along. (I always have to keep two hands on the leash or else he will pull me along too. Also since he is not neutered he will pull me up to almost every tree we see so that he can mark it. If I’m not paying attention he will rip my arms out. As soon as I got a good fit for the easy walk harness we went for our first walk and he was absolutely unable to pull me. We were quickly tested with people, dogs, and trees and he was unable to pull. I also noticed that usually he try’s to pace well in front of me, and he was actually walking along side of me and not pacing in front of me because he was unable to. Another big test was walking to the dog park, when we get a few blocks away he starts to pull out of excitement because he knows where we are going. He was unable to pull and it was an incredible walk. I thought there would be a period that took some getting used to but it worked like a charm right away. I’m did not notice any change in my dogs attitude or notice any discomfort in him as well.I will do a follow up post about a month in and see if it still holds up, but so far it’s a miracle.

Our crazy puller managed to slip out of this harness numerous times. I YouTubed how to put on… but my wild one still managed to escape. Harness itself is Nicely made!We waited 8 days to late to return, glad we tried it! I could see how wonderful this thing could work but also it’s not for everyone! It helped her not pull so much but she is an escape artist!

I have been training dogs, mostly my own, for several decades. Most of my past dogs knew at least a dozen commands, often many more, and I've always been complimented on their behavior and training - including advanced, off-leash work. Several months ago, a neighbor asked me to help them with training their dog. He is a very high-energy ADHD sort of dog and was about 9 months old at the time. I'd describe him as slightly ditzy, for lack of a better term. Their final straw to ask for help was that his pulling had gotten so extreme, they could no longer enjoy walking him.So, I started off with the basics, and we gradually built up. While he was making progress, and obviously understood a number of commands, we just weren't making the progress we should have been, especially with consistency in his responses. We were all getting extremely frustrated. The biggest issue, by far, was that he would do well with not pulling and would stay focussed on his handler much of the time, but if something exciting or distracting occurred, there was a 50/50 chance that he would just seem to forget everything he knew and be mentally "gone". Once he reached that state, almost nothing would bring him back. And it was very up and down. Some days it seemed we were making great strides and then the next day, it was as if we were almost back at square one.My stubborn, old brain just kept insisting to me that if we stuck with it long enough and did things "right", it would eventually work. My training style had created a lot of happy, well-behaved dogs, so why should I change? I always have tweaked things to fit the individual dog, but the basics have always been the same. I suppose we might have eventually gotten there, but I do wish that I had thought outside the box a little earlier. Every dog is different.That was a very long-winded way of saying, that for some dogs, this harness works. After reading the reviews and comparing front-clip harnesses, this is the one I went with. The first walk was night and day. He's never once pulled hard enough to even turn himself around. All of the knowledge from our past training now gets to shine. We took our third walk with him today in his harness and passed numerous distractions. He stayed in a heel past a small dog that was barking like a maniac and spinning on the end of its leash, past other barking dogs, past humans. It only took a light tug, once, to remind him where to remain. When released from the heel, he seldom ever touched the end of the leash, and if he did, he immediately self-corrected, returned to an area closer to his human and made eye contact. I cannot explain why this harness has made such a difference for him, but the difference is immence. This works for this dog and flat collars and slip leads do not.We've been watching carefully for any rubbing in the armpits, and so far this has not been an issue. I would guess that it depends on how the harness fits the individual dog, and I'm thankful that it seems to work well for him. He excitedly stuck his head in it for me today, so it's obviously not causing discomfort. This isn't going to train your dog for you, although it may well significantly reduce pulling for many of them. However, along with the training that he has already had and will continue to receive, this has made a world of difference for this dog and his people. Next time, I'll reach for the harness quite a bit faster if a dog isn't progressing as I would expect them to.Updated: Several weeks in and I can confirm that it wasn't just an initial response to the change in equipment. This pup continues to impress us. Everyone is back to looking forward to walks, and we're getting to focus on the "fun things" in training!

We got our puppy the PetSafe 3 point harness when we started training and it was amazing! When he grew out of it, I bought this one because it was a bit cheaper and it worked -almost as well. I recently loosened it to accommodate some more growing and realized the next day that he had a large raw spot under his “armpit” where the harness had rubbed. I think this is likely because I had loosened it too much - so more user error than anything! I will say where the straps hit on the 3 point version works better for our guy.

We have a lab. She is 75% american, 25% english, so she has a sleek body, but her chest is full english with the big neck roll and barrel chest. She weighs 62 pounds. I originally bought a medium, but it just didn't look right or fit right and you could tell she wasn't comfortable in it so I exchanged it for a large and the large fits like a glove! Walking with her before this was horrible, it was frustrating for everyone and she would just gag and choke herself. From the moment we put this on walking her has been an absolute dream. She knows she can't pull and listens so much better, I recommend this to anyone and everyone because it has been an absolute game changer. I now feel like anyone, including kids, can walk our dog without getting dragged all over the place. Still find it hilarious trying to watch my husband figure out how to get the harness on the dog though.Our dog also used to lose her mind at rabbits (there are tons in our neighbourhood). The first time she had the harness on she darted for the rabbit and did a totally front flip. Now she sees a rabbit, gets all perky, and we tell her to leave it, and she comes right back to our side and we continue on our walk. Game changer I tell ya!

The dog in question is a Spaniel and it belongs to an elderly relative. I'd tired of seeing the dog walk the man so looked into different harness options and plumped for this one.I was the first person to try the harness on the Spaniel and the effect was immediate. You start walking, the dog goes ahead, you stop and hold on. As soon as the lead is taut the chest position of the lead causes the dog to spin 60-90 back towards you and look very confused. What just happened?Walking is then a pleasure and its only when the dog is in reach of known locations (100 yards from the park, 50 yards from home) that it will pull. Even then, the pulling isn't to the same degree that would occur when led from the collar.This harness has changed the life of the Spaniel's owner; they now walk together. But, when put back on the collar, the dog pulls from the off. So it isn't a training device, it's a permanent fixture.The downside of using one is twofold. First, it gets dirty unless you're going to use it to get to a destination (the park) and then remove it. Second, it is a little confusing to put on and adjust. It works even when it's quite loose on the dog, Too tight and you may be causing friction sores so be careful. Sores are the lesser of two evils by comparison to your dog damaging it's neck and windpipe by pulling from the collar.

I was somewhat dubious that any lead or harness would be able to stop my 11 month old Dalmatian pulling me or more importantly my little wife to wherever our dog wanted to go.Well I couldn't have been more wrong, I had expected that a certain amount of training or familiarisation would be necessary but it wasn't.The moment I put the harness on her, and we went for a walk, it worked, my dog no longer pulled, but walked by my side.By placing the D ring at a low front chest level I noticed that any pulling in one direction is counteracted by pulling the dog back into line, so the more a dog pulls away from you the more force is automatically applied to correct its walking.I bought the large size, but had to adjust the straps to their smallest or tightest setting for our dog, but it was still a little loose, but as she will be growing for a few more months I'm sure it will fit her perfectly very soon.Dog walking is now a pleasure and no longer an ordeal.Thoroughly recommended.

This was recommended to me for being really good for stopping dogs from pulling. I was a bit sceptical, as I own a huge variety of harnesses and halters, all of which claim to stop dogs from pulling, but mostly don't. I bought this one, tried it on one dog and was so pleased with how it worked that I bought another for the other dog. My small godson was able to walk a large, strong dog with no problems. It seems counter-intuitive to have the lead at the front of the dog's chest, but it seems to decrease their need to pull.As some people have commented, there is a risk that it will cut into the dog, but I have found that it is best to leave the straps a bit slack, rather than trying to pull the harness tight.As a minor criticism, there doesn't really seem to be any need to provide a lead with the harness. Like most owners, I have leads already, and the one that comes with this is terribly long - the dogs keep tripping over it. I would rather pay slightly less for the harness and not have a lead included.

Just received this harness in time for training school day. I am very pleased with it. It's far far better than the halti version. The D ring on the chest does not stick to one side like the halti one does. It moves side to side on its own loop but still tighten up on chest for better control. In fact I have already put another one in my shopping list on Amazon. My retreiver loves muddy puddles, So I need a clean one ready for next walk. Would recommend this one and not the halti. Oh and thank you for the surprise dog biscuits in the package.
