PetSafe Easy Walk Deluxe Dog Harness, No Pull Dog Harness – Perfect for Leash & Harness Training – Stops Pets from Pulling and Choking on Walks – Medium, Ocean

PROS;- Works extremely well. I work at a pet store for a living and regularly recommend the Easy Walk harness for dogs who pull or lunge. I've had nothing but good reviews from people I've sold it to, too.- Reversible, so really nice if you occasionally need a back-clip harness as well.- Works essentially the same as the "regular" Easy Walk harness, with added padding for comfort. A major deciding factor for me was the reflective stitching on the Deluxe version.CONS;- The strap that goes behind their legs is padded, but not entirely so. Unfortunately, the way it fits my dog makes it so that the buckle is directly beneath one of her arm pits (leg pits?), which I fear isn't so comfortable. This hasn't been an issue that's come up, and doesn't seem to bother her, but that is something I'd watch for with a more sensitive dog.- Not inescapable by any means (but honestly, no harness is). The front has a martingale-esque design that tightens when the dog pulls. This is nice, but helps more with pulling than it does with security. If your dog is pulling backward, it will be able to slip out given enough time. This is easily preventable, aka don't pull your dog towards you if it's pulling back, it will likely slip out, but this hasn't been an issue whatsoever with me walking my dog. This IS an issue, however, when other people walk her and don't keep this in mind.- The front clip part has been consistently too big/loose on my dog, even while the rest of the harness fits perfectly. This is not a sizing issue as it otherwise fits perfectly, and we've had her fitted for easy walk harnesses in person before (I just wanted to purchase the cute blue one, haha). The design would work so much better if this front part were smaller or more adjustable than it is.WHAT TO KNOW;- These run a bit big compared to the sizing of many other harnesses. Measure your dog before purchasing of course, but do keep that in mind.- The medium vs the medium-large's biggest difference is the thickness of the straps themselves. For a heftier breed that needs stronger reinforcement on a harness, go medium-large.- A few people have complained that their animals have bitten through the harness... This is a comment that frustrates me because it is an entirely preventable issue. Pretty much any harness can be chewed through by a dog if it is left alone with the harness on. It is extremely sturdy. Never leave a harness on a dog unless you are walking it, or you are actively supervising it. If your dog chews out of its harness after being left alone with it on, that's on you and is definitely not an indication of the product's quality. While using it correctly, they've lasted me years with my pup.- Lastly, if you've never used a front clip, there is definitely a learning curve for both you and your pup. The first two or three walks will be a bit awkward, so don't be discouraged if it doesn't immediately come naturally. That said, you should immediately notice a difference in pulling; if you have a very strong dog, this is a great product for being able to easily control your pup.

There's no accounting for taste. It's the least of my concerns though. Walking Angus has been a challenge since he realized he was big enough to pull. Reactive and pully, that's Angus on a leash. After a year and half of that training struggle a rescue volunteer at a local shelter recommended a harness for walking. And not just any harness.This thing is the holy grail of harnesses. This thing removed all the fear reactions and pulling from our walks. So much so I look forward to taking him out for a few miles of neighborhooding.We walk 83rd Avenue toward the bank on the corner. There's three police cruisers, and five police officers and an SUV parked on the curb, in the turn lane on our side. Any other day, I'd avoid this scenario. Lights, radios, people gathered. Not now. The harness of epicness makes me as confident as Angus. We walk alongside the policing event. Two officers are waiting at the trunk of a cruiser. Not at all tense."That's a good looking dog you have.""Thank you. His name is Angus."He points to my Sweetwater T shirt advertising all things guitar, "Like the musician?""Yup!"He nods and we continue our walk. A young guy walks up to us, relaxed and not really interested in meeting Angus, but definitely interested in seeing him."Wow. He's part horse, huh?""We call him Stupid Pony for a reason. Angus is hilarious.""He's a cool dog."We walk on MLK, across from a large shopping center. Heavy traffic, horns, engines, people crossing blinky lighted cross walks. Voices, buzzes and the like. It used to be a curse to attempt. Now with his harness, he walks proud and confident. A speeding hover round carrying a highly energized woman comes barreling toward him exclaiming, "What a beautiful dog! Can I say hello?"Her smile is a big as her chair is heavy, and her voice is as rapid as the mph she's pulling with that thing. I ask Angus to sit. He does. I step between Angus and the oncoming woman on wheels. I see Angus' stress level going up via his eyebrows."Wait. He's never seen one of these hover rounds, slow down.""OH! Well I can walk." She jumps out of this motorized thing and moves quickly to Angus, hand out. She has the top of her hand showing for him to sniff. She thinks this is some sort of good idea."Wait. Slow down. Talk to me first, okay? I'm working his training.""Oh sure! I have a golden with some catahoula in him, he's catahoula isn't he?"Angus hasn't left his stress behind yet. And I'm not going to ask him to absorb hers. I invade her personal space forcing her to step back one step."Yup, he's a catty. He's a good boy. His name is Angus. You'll have to say hello and wait to see if he wants to visit." She seems agreeable enough, and I step aside a bit allowing Angus to decide what option he'd like. She extends her hand again, and he smells it. He looks past her to the hover round, then up to me."It's okay Bangus. You can say hello."He stands now, and takes two steps to her and accepts a head petting."Wow he's pretty."Angus agrees and wags his tail. She jumps back on her red hover round and thanks him for his time and says good bye to me. This couldn't have happened a month ago. And this couldn't have happened without this harness of epicness.We walk further. A bike comes from behind, the rider zooms past us. Angus doesn't notice or care. A jogger approaches from afar, on our sidewalk. Angus takes note, and decides she's not worth his effort."He's a pretty dog." She says as she passes. Angus looks over his shoulder to watch her progress away from us.A man walks past us now, pauses to compliment Angus and his leash etiquette. "What a great dog!"We walk. We walk happily, the leash draped in my hand relaxed. Angus is nose to ground now. We're in front of the retirement condo village. Roughly 453 yorkie terriers and shih tzu pee in this area. He is identifying species. His nose is on, his brain is off. And I'm far too relaxed.He lunges slightly forward and gobbles up some godawful looking mass of some thing that tickles my gag reflex. Too fast, too late, and he's already working it. There's discarded napkins nearby. My hope is the lawn crew carelessly left lunch pieces behind. The question is how old, and what comes next? There is no accounting for taste.Today is day two of Angus borfering randomly and soft serve ice creaming instead of pooping. His attitude, food and water intake are all intact. His digestion is simply letting him know he sucks.But this harness, this harness does not suck. Every dog person should have this harness. He is happier when wearing it. He loves putting it on. He loves his walks. And because of this, Angus is more socialized successfully on every single walk. I love this harness.I am not loving what is coming out of Angus' butt though.

This is our second easy walk harness. This one has some padding for comfort while on the pup. It can be tricky to adjust and get it fitting correctly, but once set, it works great to control pulling. Our dog doesn’t mind wearing it at all. The harness material is durable and easy to wash.The front straps can sometime loosen and need to be tightened up regularly. But it’s a quick, easy adjustment.Overall, I would recommend for any dog that pulls while on walks. Our 55lb golden loves it.

This is excellent. My Lab is 2 yrs old very strong and has got away from me in a lead he also pulled me down and I fell face first at vets on sidewalk. This harness was recommended at vets. I came home ordered that day and it really works. Something about them hooking at chest gives you control. My Lab is a angel in it.The price is right too!
