I have two wire-haired mixed breeds one 12 lbs and one 25 lbs. After reading reviews I thought I'd found what I needed to stop the dogs from pulling. Unfortunately, it's not working as well as I thought. First problem was the fit. It has been extremely hard to find sizes that fit. If it fits in the girth, it's too big in the chest. If it fits the chest, it's too small in the girth. Most places only carry Small, Medium, Large, etc, even though the harness comes in tweener sizes petite/small, small/medium, etc. Pay very close attention to the chest measurement, as well as the girth. My dogs both have smaller chests and muscular girths. edogsncats have all the sizes, is sold on Amazon, and posts all the measurements you need to know to help get the correct size. Unfortunately, I didn't see that until after I purchased a harness for each somewhere else (which are being returned). I am not sure even a tweener size will fit my smaller dog. I ordered a small and the chest strap is large and droops, but the next size smaller is an inch too small in the girth. The harnesses also may work better on taller dogs than a shorter one. The D ring for clipping the leash is only about 6 inches off the ground for my dog. The leash gets caught under her front legs, and sometimes gets wrapped around her neck as we walk and she moves from side to side. Several times she has run to the end of the leash and the harness has flipped her onto her side. So I most likely will go back to the harnesses where the leash attaches hook on the back. It may not stop pulling, but it is easier for walking. I am waiting to get the small/medium size for my larger dog and I hope it works, although I don't know how it will be to have one dog with a front-lead harness and one with a harness that attaches on the back if it does fit.

This size fit my lanky, 20 pound mixed breed dog nicely when tightened to the smaller end of the possible settings. Her measurements: chest = 21 inches; neck = 13.5 inches.
I'll add pictures and update the review on performance once I have time to use it more extensively.
Buy Easy Walk Harness - Small/Medium, Deep Purple Now
I have a 6 yr old Chow mix and a 4 mth old Husky puppy. My Chow got the hint right away. But my Husky not so much. Husky's are bred to pull so it can be a challenge to get them to stop. This did not do it right away. The first time I put it on her she still tried to pull, but since it kept pulling her sideways she also started screaming as we were walking down the street. LOL. However, after a bit of leash training with my trainer we did get her to walk better on it. It has improved and she seems more comfortable in this harness instead of her collar or reg. harness because it does not choke her when she does pull. If you have a real bad puller I would probably recommend a head collar instead of this. I think the results really depend on the dog.

I have used easy walk harnesses on my other dogs and love them. However, the small/medium size was just slightly too small for my dog, and the medium is slightly too big for her. The seller's return policy stinks though, so it wasn't worth the hassle of paying for the return, and the 20% restocking fee.

Bought this for our in between dog and doesn't fit as well as I'd hoped but the small was to small, the medium way too big. Works pretty good though and like it much better than traditional harnesses.
