Guardian Gear No-Jump Dog Harness

Guardian Gear No-Jump Dog HarnessWell, my dog has actually only worn this for about two minutesmy husband felt bad for him when he saw how funny he walked with it on. It probably would have worked too, but after he took it off, we haven't put it back on because it's just a pain to dolots of straps and stuff everywhereit gets confusing. They should have had the buckles markedthat might have made it easier and more user-friendly and it might actually have been used then.

This product is so difficult to figure out. If you were trying to assemble and put it on a dog mannequin it would be hard, and we are all actually trying to put this on our wildly thrashing, over-excited dogs. It just doesn't work! I assembled it properly a few times, the other times, just sort of improvised, i.e. putting limbs through loops, pulling cords tight and tying them together until my dog was clearly hindered from moving freely. There has to be a better way to do this. maybe color-coded pieces? Or a little more structure and less one-size-fits-all? At any rate, the first time I turned my back, she gnawed through the nylon straps in like, .5 seconds. I sewed them back with my sewing machine, tried it a couple more times, then my husband stepped in and installed a trolley/cable. The idea of my dog being tethered whenever she is out appalls me, but the harness just wasn't practical.

This might be better for a smaller dog. I used it on my boxer who is 62 lbs and it only worked well if it was too tight on her.

It will cause the dog to have sores on the back of his legs, after a while one needs to check to make sure it is secure because the dog will work it loose and start jumping.

I read the other reviews on the Guardian Gear No-Jump Dog Harness

by Guardian and saw where people were complaining about them being chewed off, so I also bought a bottle of no chew spray. The spray was worthless on the harness. If you aren't around to reapply the spray every 30 minutes to an hour, there is no need to even use the no chew spray since it just evaporates. Our dog is jumping our 5 foot fence with NO problem. I didn't have a problem getting the harness on her and getting it on correctly every time, but my husband never could figure it out. My dog learned to stand decently still while I put it on because she knew she was getting to go outside and run and play versus being tethered outside on a cable just to use the bathroom. She walked and ran funny at first but she soon got used to the harness and did not get out of the fence. The problem came when I left her outside too long and she laid down to rest. The leg straps slipped down her legs and she got out of it. Luckily she came into the house instead of getting loose. Next was that I left it on her when she came in so I didn't have to fight her to get it on and off (the first day). She and her sister chewed through a strap. I sewed it back on. Then she got it off a cabinet and she chewed through a clip. I replaced the clip. She chewed through another strap, sewed it back, and lastly through 3 clips. Now I don't have enough extra strap to repair it since she has grown and chewed through it in the same place a few times. I am buying another one today and going to sew the straps in place so there are no loose ends to tempt her and it is going to be stored inside a cabinet so she can't get to it when she doesn't wear it. I REALLY wish some company made one of these in leather. Now that I know that it works on her, I would gladly pay good money for one I knew would hold up to a 1.5 year old puppy.
