PetSafe Easy Walk Harness

I DON'T EVER WRITE REVIEWS BUT...WOW! I have a reactive dog who also pulls on the leash with absolutely all of her might. Absolutely chokes herself and has dislocated my arm multiple times! We've tried EVERYTHING over the last year including professional training, which did help, but she was still really hurting me when she was set off by something and it made taking her for walks nearly impossible, and the biggest chore ever. This was a last hail mary, I've tried many other tools for pulling and none have worked, I didn't have high hopes at all. But lo and behold, I tried this out yesterday and she's a WHOLE NEW DOG! And not just the pulling. This design makes it pretty much impossible for her to pull in the first place. You can see when she's trying to pull, but it's so ineffective that I can keep the leash strapped around my wrist and not even feel the slightest tug! Not even 10 minutes into the first walk with this harness on, she gave up on even trying to pull and we had a WONDERFUL walk that was enjoyable for us both! This didn't just help with her pulling, it's helping with her reactivity too, for a couple of reasons. 1. I'm more calm, because I KNOW that I'm actually in control of my dog and I don't need to sweat it. 2. When she can't lunge to the end of the leash, she just doesn't even start barking for some reason. We're able to walk past houses with other dogs barking at us like it's nothing. This is monumental for her, as she is usually lunging barking and practically foaming at the mouth. I took her to the pet store with this harness on last night and you guys... Someone said 'Wow! Your dog is SO well behaved' Are you kidding me? If only they knew! This little harness is the only thing that's keeping her from choosing evil right now! This is NOT a replacement for training, but it makes training POSSIBLE. It's so hard to train when your dog is largely unsuccessful and you have nothing to praise. This opens up that opportunity and makes me(& other people) feel much safer, because it's obvious that I'm finally in control of my dog!

It was effective. Hammy didn’t, or couldn’t(?) pull. Even though he somehow walked out of the belly strap like Houdini. Using a collar he would dislocate your shoulder on the shortest walk. This was zero pull. I usually use a gentle lead but don’t want anything on or near his face and neck. Ham has an inoperable and fatal tumor behind his soft palate, so no more collars for him. This was maybe 2” too big for him. I will donate it to my vet’s office and I am ordering him a small. Hopefully that won’t be too tight. He’s 12.8 kilos sooo…I will report back.

I'm not sure what rating to give this harness–it seems like it does its job well and it's well-made, but it ultimately did not work for my pomeranian, and I wanted to alert other pom owners that this harness may not be a good match for the breed because of their stature and coat. I took my pom on a couple of walks with the harness and it did help a lot with pulling–the second he tried to pull too far, it gently guided him back and prevented the pull. For dogs that can be properly fitted and aren't super low to the ground, I think the harness is awesome and will be a great tool for getting them to walk without pulling. Unfortunately, the issues I had are: 1) because my dog is so low to the ground, attempting to leave any slack on the leash at all when it was clasped to his chest (vs his back, on a traditional harness) made it too easy for him to step over the leash and get tangled in it. I had to stop constantly to reposition the leash, which was annoying to both of us. And when the leash wasn't getting tangled in his front legs, it was flopping around and hitting him in the face/chin area, causing him to try and bite at it. I think it's just because there's so little distance between his chin, chest, and feet/the ground that there's no room for the leash to hang freely without either being in his face or under his feet. And there needs to be at least a little slack when using the harness, or else every movement the dog makes results in him being jerked to the side. I don't want him pulling, but I also want him to be able to move without getting yanked around every two inches! It can also be dangerous–before I realized what he was doing, he tried to pull up some stairs (in my building, as I was getting ready to unclip him and get in the elevator), and he got simultaneously jerked back and tangled in the leash, which caused the leash to wrap around his body/legs and he tumbled back down the stairs, unable to free his legs or stop the fall. This all happened in a matter of about two seconds, so I wasn't able to intervene before it happened. Thankfully he was okay, but it was scary! I'm working on training him not to pull, but we're not there yet, and I don't like the idea that in a split second he can pull and end up in a dangerous situation like that. If he tried to pull up (or down) stairs in a regular harness, he'd just reach the end of the lead and not be able to go any further, vs being yanked back down/up. After all that, I thought maybe the harness just wasn't fitted properly the first time around (even though I'd spent a considerable amount of time adjusting it, but that brings me to issue 2): his small stature and extremely full coat made attempting to fit the harness basically impossible. I couldn't really follow the fitting instructions as-written, because he just has so much coat that simply laying the straps on his body and then tightening them to the appropriate length was impossible. I could either fit the harness on top of his coat, which meant it wasn't tight enough once it worked its way down past his fluff, or else nestle it down into the coat to get it closer to his skin–but then I couldn't see the harness at all to tell whether it was positioned properly. When the harness is fully clipped on, you literally can't even tell that he's wearing it, let alone tell if it's sitting where it's supposed to. I tried putting it on him loosely and then adjusting it while it was on his body, but adjusting the fiddly little straps while fighting against a massive amount of coat also wasn't a good solution. I tried different methods of fitting it for about an hour before deciding to just go back to his old back-clip harness and accept that it's just going to take a little longer to train him in loose leash walking than I'd hoped. :( For most dogs, I think this is a great solution, but f you have a pom (or another short and fluffy dog), be aware that it may be hard to fit and hard for your dog to walk in it.

Great product, does exactly as it says and stops my heavy Labrador pulling. Very easy to use and perfect having only 3 straps, dog loves it

Sorry, no photos as my little fella's hair covers the straps, which are so minimal it's amazing. And then no video because I did not take my phone, I'll try to update with a video later. I reviewed a number of other harnesses and their reviews and this one had not the most and definitely not the least. But it had amazing reviews. And I have to say that THEY WERE RIGHT! This harness worked immediately. I'm taking just stepping outside of our door. My lovely, adorable little fella is only 6mths but he has started to pull, which isn't comfortable for either of us. Not to mention that he hates having to wear a harness. This harness is so easy to put on and so minimal I feel that he must be relieved with less 'stuff' on. We truly had a wonder walk. We were both relaxed and NO PULLING by either of us. (I was pulling him stating 'heel' each time he pulled. Not fun). I HIGHLY recommend this harness. My Little Fella: 10lbs Malshi 6.5 mths Size small - needed to reduce each strap a fair bit, which means we have room to grow! Apple Green & Gray SO HAPPY!

My pup is 16 and has used the Easy Walk harness since he was three months old. It is the ONLY harness he likes; otherwise, he just refuses to walk; and the 2.3 kg dog has torque when he stops short. It was initially recommended by a dog trainer for its quality and to encourage reluctant dogs to walk. I purchased the extra small for my long-hair chihuahua. Highly recommend.

M/L size is a perfect fit for our mixed breed dog. He’s nearly 3 years old and 27kg. The no pull effect is fantastic. This is our second buy, as first one had lots of rust with almost 2years of use. SGD15.31 was a fab price as well I couldn’t refuse and bought two pieces
