Trekking Dog Harness

ABO Gear 50 to 80-Pound Dog Harness, Large, 28 to 36-Inch GirthI was very satisfied with this harness when I first took it out of package. It was just what I was looking for very sturdy and well-made. I got it for my 22 pound jack russell mix. Well, I thought it was great until I tried it on him. I adjusted the straps and it fit him very well, except for one area. The second strap went right over his, well, let's say if my dog was a female, it would have been a perfect fit. There was just no way getting the second strap buckled and adjusted without it being right over his boy part. So unfortunately it is useless to me and my dog. But, I repeat, if I had a girl dog, we would both be loving it. (I also want to add that this probably won't be an issue if you have a medium or large male dog, probably will just affect the small male dogs.)

I purchased the medium harness for my dog. She is 47 pounds of muscle with a 15 inch neck and 26.5 inch chest. At first I wasn't too sure this would work for us since she is very muscular with a deep chest and lean back end, but we made it work. Be patient if you have a wiggly dog; this harness has 5 different adjustments. For my dog, this is how I adjusted it: The two upper buckles from the chest pad are adjusted pretty far down, maybe two inches left on either side to work with. The first strap doesn't have too much room left in the event she grows, as you can see in the picture I posted. The bottom strap of the chest pad is adjusted as small as it would go; still a hair big, but it still works. The rear strap is adjusted pretty small, but I did leave it a bit loose so she isn't uncomfortable when she sits down.

Color: The color wasn't really what I expected, but I like it much better that what the picture shows. On my computer it looks like the harness is grayish/tan with a reddish trim; although the color is noted as 'olive'. It is actually a greenish/gray color with brown trim.

The harness appears to be very well made and quite sturdy and I REALLY like that the straps have padding for comfort. The handle on top is a nice touch, too. If you are looking for a solution to pulling this probably isn't the product for you. (In my opinion the only solution to pulling is diligent training.) When we initially set out on our hike it seemed to help with her pulling quite a bit, but as she got comfortable with it she tended to pull more, especially when she picked up a really exciting scent she wanted to follow. I will say that it did give me more control over her and I did not have to worry about damaging her trachea from her pulling. Another plus--I'm pretty confident that this harness will not pull over her head as a previous one did. I'm not sure yet if this will work out for summer since it gets so hot here, but we'll be sure to put it to the test.

One more note...Although the company is in GA; the harness is made in India if that is a deciding factor.
