Sporn Mesh No Pull Dog Harness

Because I have arthritis in my hands and Parkinson's, my hands are stiff and weak. Tremors add to the problem of fastening and unfastening "buckles", especially on dog harnesses. This harness does not have any buckles. It's so easy to put on and take off, and my little dog loves it. It's soft and flexible, too. However, it is not a "No-Pull" dog harness. My dog pulls just as hard as ever, maybe more. You shouldn't leave this on your dog when you're not walking him/her because there's a long loop with a clunky slider at the end. This loop could get caught on something and endanger your pup. If I don't remove the harness immediately when we get in the house, my dog decides to shake herself.

This extension loop flops around and the slider hits her in the face. It would be very uncomfortable if she laid down and the slide was under her side or back. Excellent harness for people with disabilities in hands or wrists. I will definitely buy another one. Soft straps are comfortable for dog, but you must remove the harness immediately after your walk or training session. Does not decrease pulling. … more

I have a rescued terrier mix. She lunges at cars, bicycles and people. I had her on my porch trying to desensitize her by giving her treats. She had this harness on. A bicyclist rode by. I tried to distract her but she was very agitated. Somehow she managed to slip out of harness and took after rider. She ran down my busy street and was almost hi by a truck. She did not get hurt but be advised, your dog may be able to get out of the harness. It happened so fast, I don’t know how it she got out of it but you should be aware!

I tried 2 other harnesses and a special collar, plus followed numerous techniques learned from watching dog trainer programs. Nothing stopped my dog from thinking she was born to be a sled dog and pulling strongly on her leash until I put the Sporn M.N.P.D. Harness on her. It must give her a sense of security or there is some other unknown explanation, but she loved it from the first time I put it on her, never pulled hard against it, or showed any discomfort from it. She is now a changed dog, and a delight to walk!

This purchase was a replacement for an identical harness. My puppy wore the other one out and I wanted the same soft, well-made harness to replace it. It is cool for the 115 degree Phoenix summer heat. I like the step-in style that my pup has been trained to quickly "step into," getting us out the door and on the walk faster. The harness is adjustable so I can make sure it's secure and safe so she cannot slip it off. The only, small negative is that I have tried many harnesses--and believe me, Chewy has the best of them--but "no pull?" I laugh at that! Yeah, there is no such thing as a no pull harness when you have a high energy dog (Min Pin) like I do. She's in a hurry to get EVERYWHERE This purchase was a replacement for an identical harness.

She's in a hurry to get EVERYWHERE because it's SO exciting and...she pulls on every harness I've ever put on her. That said, I would still recommend this harness. "No Pull" is a matter of training rather than a harness, to have my dog enjoying the walk beside me rather than in front, pulling to get somewhere else faster. :) … more

I am very happy with this harness. My dog is a rescue who often pulls on the leash, and was lunging when a rabbit or squirrel is seen. I have tried other harnesses and the gentle lead. She really hated them and worked hard at trying to get them off and also fought about putting them on. Also they turned out not to be so effective with this dog. A world of difference with the No Pull! It really works and is comfortable for the dog with the padded portion under the front legs. Also the easiest one to put on and to adjust to her body. My brother had one for his dog and lent it to me to try. Glad to have gotten one of our own now. Also, price is very reasonable. Much less than the other I am very happy with this harness.

This is my fourth harness in 6 months since rescuing my pug/min pinscher(Muggin), Lily. She is a much small neck compared to her chest so she was able to pull all other harness over her head if she worked it right. This harness gets tighter if she pulls it and can not get it over her head. So happy!!

honestly if i could rate it no stars i would. i got this for my GSD thinking it would help his pulling as my aunt has 2 goldens, and they work really well for them... my 75lb german was able to squeeze himself out of this harness. if you’re looking to train your dog to not pull invest in a prong collar. not this harness. it sucks and may distribute the weight evenly but doesn’t really give you a secure hold on your dog or stop the pulling. 10/10 dont recommend.

I walk my dog to the park once a day. The metal ring chewed through the black rope material before the end of the first month.i was surprised that the black rope connected to the metal ring (leash end) was so flimsy to begin with, for a harness that was expected to prevent an extra large dog from pulling. Sure enough, my dog saw a random person and wanted their attention. I pulled the leash to prevent her from going after the person and it broke right then which caused the stranger to get jumped on. Luckily, my dog only gives kisses and sniffs, but for anyone that has a more aggressive dog I wouldn't suggest this.

I have used the sporn harness in the past on 80lb pets. I had the need for a 20lb terrier constantly pulling. Chewy's sale allowed be to buy 2 for less than 1 at regular price. Great harness, we enjoy our walks more now. Thanks chewy for the 2 day delivery and the sale price.

My 7 month old miniature poodle kept escaping out of various harnesses. This one cinches behind the shoulders so she can’t back out or slip her feet though to escape. It’s soft and padded under her legs. The harness is easy to get onto the dog, even a squirmy puppy. She has not managed to chew up any of it. It’s a great product!
