Kurgo Journey Nylon Reflective Dual Clip Dog Harness

I have the black Kurgo harness for my dog and it was great but a little too big so it was time for an upgrade. I thought I was safe staying with the brand but this harness' buckle design is terrible! It's extremely difficult to get the buckle all of the way through and you have to wriggle it for 5 minutes to get it to fit perfectly, which can make bending over your dog difficult if you have back and hip issues like myself. I would not recommend this harness, I'm know there are better designs, even from this brand, just not this particular harness.

I have had previous Kurgo harnesses and assumed this one was the same. It was not because the straps no longer fasten with the plastic click-in clips I had used before. These new (?) metal fasteners are extremely difficult to insert and close, perhaps because my large Labrador needs the upper strap fasteners to be fully extended and the edge of the webbing will not easily wiggle through the small space on the buckle. It often takes me several minutes of wrestling with the closures. Once I've managed that, the harness is fine for walking my dog, but I would not choose to purchase this again.

I measured my 7 month old Aussie prior to choosing the size harness. She measured 25 inches around behind her legs so I went with the large harness because it’s start measurement was 24 inches. I didn’t go with medium because it went only a few inches bigger than her current size and I wanted something that she could have for a while and not outgrow in a month. The large is quite a bit too big on her, I should’ve went with the medium which was correct with her weight range but not her measurements. It seems to be really great quality, and I was able to tighten it a bit more than it was intended by putting the strap through the bracket an extra time (can kinda see in the photo) and it fits well I measured my 7 month old Aussie prior to choosing the size harness.

Durable my pup is 223lbs. He usually beats up everything. The handle makes it easy to hold him if needed. Fits great. This is my second time buying him this harness. I will continue to buy this when replacing

We had a German Shepherd and it was hard to fit raincoats, etc. to her because she/they have a longer body and neck than most dogs and a thick coat around their neck like a lion. We got this harness for her and it fit well. Now we have another rescue and it has GSD, Husky, and Gorgy in him. He has the long body and thick neck but is smaller than the first rescue but he has a large head. It doesn't fit as snug around his neck as I would like because I want it plenty big to easily go over his head. These are great harnesses and they are really easy to put on. They come with the attachment that hooks the dog up to the seat belt so they won't get thrown if you have to stop the car fast.

If you leave your dog alone in the car for a short while I suggest you unhook the attachment so they don't feel confined. Our pet store only had one in pink so we resorted to going on line and found it at chewy. We looked at all the available harnesses at two different pet stores and this is really the best one out there. … more

It is a bit heavier than I expected it to be. We are constantly having to readjust the harness because the buckles don't stay in place and become loose. We have to fix it at least once a day as it loosens.

We had lost our Fred to CCD in November and began fostering rescue dogs until we met Wrigley and we adopted him. Fred had put on MANY miles with the Kurgo in the back seat so we again got this Kurgo harness to give Wrigley the same degree of protection.

This is the fifth harness I gotten our 4 1/2 month old Texas Heeler (between growing out of and destructive chewing). I am pleased with the quality of this harness. I sized up to a Medium and while the neck is a bit loose, the waistband adjusted perfectly; he will grow into it as long he doesn't get ahold of it and chew it to bits. I feel he is secure and he is walking without pulling when we use the chest clip. This harness is very well made. I was a little nervous about the metal tabs because I have some fine motor skill issues due to a medical condition, but putting on and taking it off is very easy. It's nice to be have a car restraint, too. Highly recommend.

I have no idea why this has so many stars. Looks good and sturdy - falls off my dog constantly. I have secured it as indicated. I am returning this and getting the old school clip style.

This harness is a game changer!!! Our lab mix pulls terribly. As soon as we put this harness on him, and connected his leash to the front loop, it was amazing! He literally walked like a normal dog with no pulling! The handle on the back is super handy as well.
