Product Description
The Easy Walk Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. The Easy Walk Harness is simple to use and easy to fit. Your dog will love it as much as you will! Unlike a collar, the Easy Walk Harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area. Traditional harnesses can actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the "opposition reflex". That's the reflex that makes sled dogs do what they do. The Easy Walk Harness redirects the pressure through the front leash attachment. And, the patent pending martingale closure tightens slightly across the chest and shoulder blades when your dog attempts to pull forward. Measure your dog around the rib cage to determine proper fit. 12"-16" Girth = Petite (Teacup breeds), 15"-20" Girth = Small (Jack Russels, Shelties, etc.), 20"-28" Girth = Medium (Border Collies, Spaniels, etc.), 26"-36" Girth = Large (Labs, Goldens, Rotties, etc.). 34"-46" Girth = X-Large (Giant breeds). 'TWEENER SIZES ARE NOW AVAILABLE! Does your dog fall in between 2 sizes? Check out our "in-between" sizes for that perfect fit! 14"-18" = Petite/Small, 19"-25" = Small/Medium and 22.5"-34" = Medium/Large. Available in Red, Black or Pink.

5 out of 5 stars Absolute must if your dog pulls on the leash   July 17, 2009
barry c (United Kingdom)
This product works for my dog 100% without tugging at her like the gentle leader that goes around the "muzzle" and she doesn't mind wearing it at all. When I take her out without it she pulls like crazy to the point she is choking herself to sniff other dogs/people, etc. If I have this harness on her, she will walk around like a perfect dog. When we pass people on the trail or bike path with dogs, I see them struggling with their own dogs and our dog just walks calmly by. She has gotten out of it a couple of times if she gets caught up in something and wiggles around too much so we have to make sure we check the adjustments every now and then but we have had this product for at least 3 years so a little stretching is to be expected.


3 out of 5 stars It Could Work   October 19, 2007

The best way to use a harness with a D-Ring on the chest is to attach the leash to the d-ring on the harness and also the d-ring on the dogs collar. I had a harness similar and that was the recomended use by a trainer, forgot the brand name. When attached in this manner if the dog slips out of the harness he still is attached at the collar. You might think attaching it to the collar is defeating the purpose of the harness but it does not. The harness keeps the collar d-ring on the underside of the dogs neck and allows you better control over the dog. Without the harness the dogs collar and leash rotates to the back of his head and when the dog pulls you have little control. So if the front strap of the harness is loose enough give this method a try and see how it works out for you.


1 out of 5 stars Not a good choice for dogs that are "low to the ground"   August 30, 2007

I had to return 2 of these harnesses (and got dinged a 20% restocking fee from this seller - on top of the cost of shipping both ways). This harness does not work with all dogs. Both my dogs fit the "girth measurement" but the loop where the leash attaches drags on the ground. My two dogs were able to walk out of the thing and kept getting their front legs tangled up. Also there is one dimension where the harness can't be adjusted so you might find, as I did, that the girth measurement is correct, but it still is too big for your dog. The description should have warned the owners of "short" dogs that this would not be a good choice.

If you want to try this out on your dog, buy it from a dealer who will refund ALL your money other than the shipping costs. It's too risky otherwise.

Prompt delivery and good service. I have found that my dog can slip out of the harness by standing up on her hind legs, but she is a very small dog so maybe I should have gotten the smaller size. She is in the weight range this harness was supposed to fit. The harness works well to stop pulling behavior.


4 out of 5 stars So far, so good...   January 4, 2007

I only gave this item 4 stars because I just used it for the first time yesterday. I also have a small dog who thinks he is a sled dog. Upon using the harness for the first time yesterday I immediately saw a 50% improvement while on our walk. However, I do need to adjust the harness a bit more. I'm sure by the weekend I will see a huge improvement. Would definitely recommend this product. I wanted to try this halter first before having to try the tradional Gentle Leader head halter.
