I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the harness itself.What I had a problem with was the smell when I opened the package. The odor was like a strong stale cigarette smoke, I actually had to soak it in soapy water to try to get rid of the smell. I would suggest no smoking in the area that this item is kept.
I have purchased other harnesses on line and did not have the same problem.
One day at the dog park there was a lady with a mastiff (150 lb) and I had her try the easy walk harness on him (we refit it) and take him for a walk and he instantaneously turned into a sweet angel when she walked him. I'm pretty sure she is going to switch from a prong collar to an easy walk :)
The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that when I used it for a long walk he ended up with pretty bad irritation under his front arm pits. It was from the harness pushing his legs closer to his body during our 2 mile walk. We took him to the vet (it was pretty bad) and he went on antibiotics and now we just throw some Gold Bond powder on his arm pits before we take him out and we haven't had a problem since!
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a dog who pulls or anyone who has children and wants their kids to be able to walk the dog without worries!The Easy Walk harness was recommended to me by a dog trainer who uses positive training techniques. She suggested this to use with a Weimeraner I adopted through rescue. He was a tugger and a leash seemed alien to him....This harness really has helped him stop pulling and slowed him down so that now I feel like I am in control not dragged behind on our walks!
