Easy Walk Harness - Small/Medium, Royal Blue

Easy Walk Harness - Small/Medium, Royal BlueI had to buy three different sizes before I found the right fit. Even so, this harness tends to self-expand once it is on the dog / does not stay snug, which is essential for it to work properly. I have found I need to use a back-up leash attached to the dog's collar because the dog can slip out of the harness not easy to use 2 leashes! The harness does prevent the dog from pulling, but he has no trouble backing out of it, one leg at a time. Not as helpful a tool as I was led to believe, but maybe it will stay more secure as it ages. In order to make the harness snug enough, I have pinched the dog's skin more than once while securing the belly strap buckle so he is becoming leery of the harness. It is very awkward to adjust the chest and belly straps after the harness is on the dog.

This is the third Premiere harness I have purchased for my dog, a beagle. He pulls when we walk, or sometimes I need to pull him, and this harness allows you to do either move without hurting the dog. Since the harness fits around the dogs' chest and not his neck, there is no risk of choking and you can pull hard without causing them any pain. The small/medium size is also perfect for his size. I originally bought a medium, but it was too big.

Worked the very first time without any real training. When my dog started to pull on his lead, it would turn him around forcing him to look at me so I could give him a command. No choking involved. My dog is a Boston Terrier and full of energy. Now whenever we put the harness on, he doesn't even try pulling at all. Actually works better than his choke collar we originally tried. The straps are nice and thick and the clips are very strong. My dog was too small for the medium (which was available at my local pet store) and the size small had very thin straps. Glad I found the small/medium size online.

I won't use a collar on my 3 y.o. mini LH Dachshund and have used a dozen harnesses trying to find the right one as he has a prominent breast bone. I have a drawer full. I even tried the head halti and even tho' he walked obediently, the joy was gone. With his nose to the ground he puts his shoulders into a chest harness and pulls like a sled dog! He also reacts by lunging if he sees other dogs walking, squirrels or a delivery person. So I thought the Gentle Leader Easy Walk harness would be the answer to all my prayers for my stout friend. I was thrilled to receive the Easy Walk within a few days of ordering. It comes with easy to read instructions. The straps are thinner than his previous harness. After sizing the harness with the many buckles and putting it on the dog, we were off! That is when I noticed the problems. The girth belt sits right under his arm pits and on the first pull he walked right out of the harness as his front feet are not too far from his shoulders!! I re adjusted the straps and when he pulled again, instead of him being forced to turn and face me, he got his leash hung up around his neck as the leash ring is right up under his chin. He just kept going!! With his short stature, as he trots along, the leash swings wildly at the clip due to his short gait and it bops him in the face. After several weeks of trying to get used to the leash being attached in front of him, instead of between his shoulders, I've come to the conclusion that he is just too short for this harness to work the way it is meant to. I got the small for his 16" girth according to the sizing chart. I wonder if the medium would work better? Back to the drawing board...

PS I do think this would be the perfect harness for a normally proportioned dog.
