PetSafe Easy Walk Dog Harness

I like the concept of this harness, but it wasn't meant to be for my dog. One size was too big; the next size down was too small. My puppy is an 18 pound whippet mix who needs some help remembering not to pull. I first tried a small/medium, which was too big (I carefully measured my dog but she tenses up when being measured, to the point that my measurements will be as much as 3 inches bigger than she actually is) -- with the shoulder and belly straps at their smallest point, it was still too big of a circumference around her girth. I tried again with a size small, which was way too small -- now with the front chest strap at its largest point, it's still too small to reach back to her shoulders I like the concept of this harness, but it wasn't meant to be for my dog.

I was shocked how much smaller the small was than the small/medium; I had to double check I had gotten the size I intended. I didn't see this listed anywhere but the small/medium strap width is 3/4" and the small is 1/2", making the harness much daintier. Unfortunately neither of the sizes are going to work for us. … more

I tried this harness, watched videos for how to adjust and place it, and it still keeps falling off my dog when we walk. It may be his body type, but just wanted to give a heads up it may not be great for certain body types! I ended up purchasing a different no-pull harness from chewy that looks more like his old harness that may do better. The actual product quality is good, I just don't think it's for every dog type!

I made a mistake when ordering and ended up with wrong harness, and the company that makes the harness was awesome about it and sent me the right size. I’ve used the harness on my difficult-to-control GSD and it helps me control him better than the old metal collar. He can run in it easily and can’t wiggle out of it (he’s very talented at escaping).

This harness started out great when my dog and I headed out. It was perfectly adjusted when we left. I even watched the video on how to do it. As we trekked along the front adjustments on her chest started loosening to the point that it was hanging down really loosely and both of us were confused with walking together. I stopped twice to fix and readjust it, taking the entire harness off to do so. After it happened a 3rd time I gave up and clasped the leash to the nylon strap on her back.

Avoid this if your dog is learning to leash walk and/or pulls at all. After only five relatively short walks with our 17 pound mini golden doodle, the fabric ripped near the ring around the neck. Thankfully I checked before we took her on the next walk otherwise it likely would have ripped through completely and she would have gotten loose. I don’t know if this was a defective item, because there are so many great reviews, but it is pretty ridiculous that this happened considering the size of our dog and how little it was used. Of course Chewy’s amazing customer service refunded us right away, but I would advise anyone to think twice about this and consider how much your dog may pull.

I love the idea of this and my puppy walked great on it without pulling the one time I tried her with it. However, I left her unattended for 5 minutes in this outside and it was destroyed by the time I got to her. She’s not much of a chewer, either. A little disappointed it didn’t even last one day, just not durable at all.

This harness was the best purchase I have ever made for my 11 month old, 60 lb. Australian Shepherd. He’s gotten so strong and pulls so bad when he gets excited, this harness was my life saver! I can now walk him anywhere and he won’t pull at all. I purchased this knowing that it probably wouldn’t be a miracle fix, boy was I wrong. Best purchase!

This was a very disappointing purchase. Not only did it not work well to correct leash pulling tendencies on our puppy, it was also nearly completely chewed through in the span of about one minute. Our dog was able to chew through this much more readily than he has chewed through some cheap leashes that we had. Whereas on the leashes he just managed to chew a little on the edges, on this harness he chewed almost completely through it in what seems like record time. Very disappointing given the price you pay for this harness. Not recommended!

this was recommended by a dog trainer as the best walking leash, but I do not like it, it hits my dog in the the front legs so she is not wanting to walk any more. no matter how you adjust it, it just does not work

Loved the concept - definitely helps with pulling, BUT has two flaws. The front clip doesn’t hold its adjustment so by the end of a walk, it’s almost touching the ground. AND our dog chewed through it in about 5 minutes flat the one time we forgot to take it off immediately after a walk.
