It's ironic that I selected this harness because I thought it would be easy to put on given the two-buckle system versus a step-in harness. To be fair, it could be my dog's issue only. Neither my daughter nor I could get this harness on properly. We were at obedience school and twice it ended up on the dog's butt and then on the ground. We gave up and tried a one-buckle harness that my daughter wanted. It worked much better. It could be that my dog was too impatient and jumping around that we could not figure out the two-buckle system (even though we practiced without the dog). The medium was a little too big for my 15+-pound dog, but the small would have been too small and I think the straps were thinner which I didn't like. Maybe others will have better luck. BTW, although a small detail, a matching lead makes the look much more polished and put together.
Start this harness with your puppy to nip the habit of pulling from the beginning. The "tween" sizes are ony found on-line and much cheaper than in the pet stores. Machine washes/dryes well. Great investment!I have a small cocker spaniel that likes to pull and would not tolerate the head harness/gentle leader. After using this for 3 months I can say it does keep her from pulling. Not that she doesn't try still. The only negatives are the price and the way you have to put it on takes a few seconds more. Overall though I am very satisfied.
