Reasonably Priced, Easy on and Off Dog Harness that CAN be used for Anti-Pull Training
I actually bought 2 of the XL sized (gray and pink) but I'm not writing 2 separate reviews for basically same product. In a nutshell, these are good harnesses with little extra padding and worth the price. You can use these as anti-pull training harnesses. (These ARE NOT VESTS! So if you're looking for wrap around vests these aren't designed for that.)I have used other harnesses like this and they usually skimp on latches / catches (usually 2 on 1 side and 1 on other) so you always have to remember the right side to put where and can make things a little awkward to put on an excited dog. These harnesses have latches in all 4 corners of the harness. So if you leave the front latched and only unbuckle the rear, you can slide it on and off over the dog's head like you're putting on foot ball shoulder pads. However, because harness is so compact, if you're not paying attention it's easy to put them upside down. Just remember handle is on top and in back!The other big issue I have with many harnesses is what little material / padding they have is usually free to slip and slide all around the straps. If your dog pulls hard / your trying to train to break pulling, then the padding can slip out of place and you have to halt everything to adjust so bare straps aren't rubbing your dog raw or cutting off circulation. These harnesses have the straps and joints sewn down / anchored so this is not a problem. I do have 1 dog with barrel body and small neck & head. In pull position ahead, the harness works great. If they fall behind you and you have to pull in drag position and attached on top, the harness can then ride up around their legs and neck. My other dog is more streamlined and doesn't have his problem as much.The handle is NOT padded. It's basically just a nylon strap folded on itself and sewn together. However, if you're trying to train your dog not to pull, you shouldn't be attaching anything to the top loop or using handle. You should be attaching to the front loop. Then when they pull the front attached leash will put them off balance and turn them unexpectedly. Most dogs won't like this and stop pulling as hard until they figure out they don't want to pull at all. But if you need to restrain your dog then handle is secure enough to hold them.In the pics, it's presented almost like the vests glow in the dark. They don't. It has stitching of highly reflective white thread. Basically the light has to hit the treading in just the right way for it to reflect back like it's shown. If it doesn't hit the thread just right, it isn't really any more reflective than the vest itself.The only real gripe I have for these harnesses (both of different colors) is that the leash attaching rings on them are rather small. So if you're leash has larger clasps on them they can be a pain to attach or remove with an excited pooch jumping around. But they are also solid metal with cut out holes and not flimsy metal keychain rings than can bend easily like on some harnesses.This is just cautionary note for nylon harnesses to protect your dog from harm. This is NOT stretchy material. You will initially set your harness up when you're dog is calm. You should leave enough space than your hand can slid between NYLON STRAPS and dogs body. However, once you go out and dog is breathing harder, their chest will expand to take in more air. Check your strap set up AFTER your dog is breathing hard to make sure the not stretchy straps still give same amount of spacing to not make it harder for your dog to breath and expel heat!Ver másVer menos
