Product Description
The Gentle Leader Easy Walk Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. Unlike traditional collars, our harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone. Its unique front chest leash attachment stops pulling by steering your dog to the side and redirecting his attention towards you. And, its patent pending martingale loop provides extra leverage for easy, relaxed control and prevents harness twisting and gapping. Sizing based on dog's girth size. Medium fits girths of 20"-28". Breeds such as Border Collies, Tetrievers, etc.

 Worked first time, but has habit of slipping off. November 3, 2009
Gromit (San Francisco, CA)
This item worked the first time right out of the packaging, but it has a habit of slipping off and down to his hind legs when he jumps or takes off from the sitting position. My dog stopped tugging on the leash and actually walked next to me, so the harness does what it claims. It's just the poor design of the strap placements. The reason I think why this harness slips off is because the front chest strap is designed to be lose and only tightens together when your dog tugs or walks ahead of you. Since it's loose, it tends to hang down below his chest when he's in a sitting position. Then when he gets up or jumps forward, his legs sometimes slips through the low hanging chest strap and then the whole thing slips back to his hind legs. The few times this has happened I was afraid my dog was going to take off running, leaving me behind holding the leash attached to the harness and no dog.
Great walking experience. November 2, 2009

I have been using these harnesses for my boxers since they were puppies. They do not pull at all with it. If it is on to tight it does rub on their armpit a bit on long walks. They are very durable. I wash them all the time to freshen them up. Great walking experience!

I bought this for my rescued beagle mix, thinking it probably wouldn't help his pulling much, but I am amazed at what a difference it makes in our walks. Before, our walks were either me pulling him or him pulling me the whole time. But now he doesn't pull me, and the walks are much more pleasant.
It Works Perfectly! Say goodbye to the chokers and prong collars! October 31, 2009
A. Abrams (Vermont)
We've had two or more dogs in our lives for over 45 years (Golden Retrievers).We've worked aggressively with all of our dogs to get them to become leash trained (walking at your side with no extensive tugging or aggressive pulling when distracted or wanting to chase something), we never had complete success even with chokers of nylon or chain or for temporary training use; prong collars. We currently have 3 Goldens now; two males ages 3 and 6 and one new female puppy who's just turned 6 months old and graduated from puppy kindergarden recently. While we're very experienced overall and have had great success raising our dogs with lots of love, patience, training using positive reinforcement, the walking part of their training has always been quite a challenge. My wife had seen this harness used at our puppies classes with favorable results and we've seen people using one when we walk our gang and she suggested I look into using one for our dogs. Amazon had this one which seemed perfect to try based on the great reviews and favorable description of the product and although I was really skeptical that the physics of design and such a gentle harness to wear would work any better then a choker or training prong for us, I ordered from Amazon one to try. Our 3 year old golden is a strong puller on his leash. If he sees a squirrel he is apt to pull hard to try to get it. He was the prime candidate to test this new harness since if it worked for him, it certainly would for our puppy as well. Our older 6 year old golden has blessed us with a very casual and slow paced walking style so fortunately he's very easy to walk. First to say the quality of this harness is excellent. very strong and high quality of nylon strapping and metal hardware on it. Easy and fast to adjust for sizing and the nylon snap buckles are beefy and will last a very long time as well. Fitting it took less then 5 minutes. The length of each strap component is adjustable. Once fitted, you can leave the over shoulder strap buckled and just unbuckle the under chest strap, allowing this to slip right on over the head with only one buckle snap of the lower strap required. I expected a bit of a chore each time we put it on and in reality, it's done in seconds. We took our boy on a walk and immediately he stopped as soon as he felt the tension of the harness forcing him to begin to pull around 180 degrees towards us if he pulled on it. Basically, this harness uses the dogs force to work against itself by pivoting the dog around quite effortlessly, but, unlike a choker or prong which tightens around the dog's neck to maintain control, this gentle and comfortable harness makes the dog quickly realize it'll begin to swing itself around towards you if it pulls much at all and the harder it tries too, the faster it'll swing around. It worked like magic because he is puzzled and stumped why when he wants to pull forward and tries, he begins to pivot around 180 degrees and not where he intended to go! Not to exaggerate, but, I actually tried walking him just holding his dog leash gently with only two fingers and low and behold, it works, he refuses to pull at all now as he's learned quickly what the reaction will be if he applies any force to the harness. This harness works and has for over 20 walks now and I'm feeling it will continue to do what it is supposed to since the dog has learned now that it is useless to pull hard anymore. Sold!..In fact, we ordered and received one for our girl and she tried it with the very same positive results. Being a young and "foolish" puppy still, she's chasing every blowing leave she can relentlessly while being walked during our Vermont Fall here, but, as soon as this harness went on. that stopped! She's a smart puppy and learned the first time she wore it that it's useless to try to pull now. We were not believers at all in this harness because of it's simple design until we put them to use and the chokers and prong are now stored in a box and will be donated. As said, the beauty of this harness is that it defies the natural characteristic of most dogs to pull forward and away from you using that collar around their strong neck; with you in tow of course. Both of our dogs reacted with body english indicating "what the heck is going on here?" and were totally puzzled as soon as they used this harness the very first time. It keeps them on their toes (um, paws!) and to put quite simply, it just plain works and quite well indeed! If you're pulling your hair (and your dog your arm) because your dog is in complete charge of the leash, give this a try. you will be very pleasantly surprised you've found a permanent and satisfying solution to a sometimes frustrating activity that we all share with our dogs so very often.
Revolutionary! October 24, 2009
Kaitie Tee (Colorado United States)
This harness exceeded my expectations ten-fold! I have a 25 pound Basenji who's 8 years old. I've always HATED taking him for a walk because he would pull nonstop. The first time we used the harness - he barely pulled at all. Now we can go for walks that are enjoyable for both of us.
The only thing I'd warn you about is sizing. My dog's girth put him right on the border between a small and a medium, so we went with the medium. But I wish I'd ordered the small because he can only wear it with all the straps as tight as possible.
