However, I found that the adjustments slip very easily. This caused the front chest strap to fall. If I pulled when it fell, I'd be pulling on my pups legs, making him trip.
You CANNOT use this as an everyday harness. It's not made so you can yank on a dog that is constantly pulling. If you do this, you'll run into the "my dog walks at an angle" problem, and find the straps loosening up all the time.
Also, a warning to people with dogs with deep chests relative to height i.e. Boston Terriers, Frenchies, Doxies, Pits, etc. Your dog won't fit the harness so well. It'll take a lot of adjustment, and you'll never get it the way the picture says you should, so don't even bother.Let me preface this review by saying that this is not a full time harness. This is simply a training tool that will teach your dog to walk nicely on a leash.
Before trying this type of harness I had tried different types of training methods on my hound mix and different types of collars, yet my dog would just pull until the point of hurting himself. I figured that I had nothing to lose by trying this harness and it seemed more humane than many of the other training methods.
After using this harness for the first time, I saw an immediate difference. Pulling ceased to allow him to move forward it allowed sideways movement which was not his goal of pulling. After about a month of consistently using this on walks his desire to pull had drastically reduced. After 3 months of this collar on walks, his desire to pull was reduced to such a degree that I don't have to use it anymore.
Essentially, this harness is a means to an end. If you use it with training in mind and are firm and consistent with your training, then it works great within a few months. Now, I have him back on a more conventional collar and he doesn't pull anymore.

My young Boston Terrier was a real chore to walk...pulling and tugging on the leash. I have two other dogs, so walking them all each day was hard...until the easy walk harness! I highly recommend this harness! Our 1yr old Boston is a terrible puller. I had tried a different harness that while comfortable for him (and much better then a regular collar), did absolutely no good with his pulling. With the Easy Walk Harness, there is an immediate halt to the pulling. He still seems to have range of movement, and is comfortable and still enjoying his walks as well. I am thinking of trying this on our Boxer as well! I have a 32 lb boston terrier that is a notorious puller. I used this on him and now I can walk him with a LOOSE leash. it just made him "get it" right away. I would recommend this 100%.
