PetSafe Easy Walk Dog Harness

This harness fits our 70 lbs collie mix and stops him from choking himself when he pulls or lunges. However, the harness doesn't work as we expected in that it doesn't really prevent him from lunging or jumping. If anything, the front clasp mechanism means he just ends up colliding with us as he jumps/reacts to negative stimuli. We're going to try the gentle leader to see if that will help.

My pup is a rescue and about 35 pounds (small but mighty). She used to pull so hard on her harness that my arm would hurt by the time we got home. Every walk that we took became less and less enjoyable. Not to mention it made training walks nearly impossible. To be honest I did not expect this to work, but the first walk we took with this harness on she barely pulled! It made training walks so much easier. And now we both can enjoy taking a walk! It’s been such a game changer and a huge stress relief!

I have a Maremma Sheep dog, very strong-minded, with difficult to control behavior. Prior to using the EasyWalk harness for my dog, I had tried several renditions of a ‘soft’ choker-style collar. Additionally, I hired a trainer who worked with me, using a shock collar, of which I am not a fan. Too often, I was pulled suddenly in another direction when my dog instinctively sensed a critter to chase. The Easy Walk harness changed all that. I have good control of my dog and together we enjoy our morning walks; her behavior change happened because the harness causes her to turn toward me when she attempts to make a lunge, thus stopping her. She quickly learned that instinctual lunging does not I have a Maremma Sheep dog, very strong-minded, with difficult to control behavior.

I’ve worked with dogs in a lot of capacities and this harness never fails. I recently bought this for my own rescue pup. She was short chained in a backyard so the regular collar was not a good fit as her neck was very sensitive and she had never learned to walk on leash. The easy walk helped her feel the security of a traditional harness while relying on her trust in me to guide her, all without tugging around her neck. The confidence came through over night. She’s walking on sunshine now. I love this harness.

I was amazed! With a back clip harness my 95 pound girl was always pulling and twice pulled me over. With this new harness she walked like a different dog immediately. No pulling and content to walk beside me. I do allow her to go to the side of the road and sniff around occasionally.

I wanted this to work as a “graduation” from the Halti that covers the nose. When i put this on my 70lb pup I could tell immediately it would not work. The harness is very thick and heavy (size M/L), but more importantly, there is a buckle that goes right across the “armpit” area. Even if my dog didn’t have a surgery scar in that area it would still be irritating. I will return it.

This harness, combined with training techniques, made loose leash walking possible. My dog got into the habit of pulling during walks. Changing equipment and learning how to make a correction were what we both needed. I am a small person and my dog is very strong, and this harness helped me train her to be aware of where I am and to not stray away from me. Walks are so much more enjoyable now that she is no longer dragging me all over the neighborhood.

This started out as a good harness. Attaching it to the ring at chest helped with pulling on walks. However, after just one year, the webbing stretched out and the clasps did not hold up. When I contacted the company, I was told that getting just one year's use was normal.

This harness is perfect for my excitable husky mix who gets super energized when as soon I start getting him ready for his walk and usually does alot of pulling and erratic dashes for the first 5-10 minutes of the walk. Now he's so much more manageable with hardly any pulling/dragging thru-out the walk. So happy that my dog walker recommended this!

My harness never got a walking test. My precious beagle chewed through it five minutes after I put it on him (picture attached) , but before we had a chance to take a walk. This would not be a good everyday harness for dogs that like rope toys or dogs that chew things that aren't supposed to be chewed.
