Freedom No-Pull Dog Harness With Leash, XL, 1-Inch Wide, Black

dies ist bereits das 2. Geschirr das wir für unsere Hiunde angeschafft haben und sind voll zufrieden. Das Anlegen ist kein so gefummel wie bei voelen anderen.

This is a strong, good quality harness. It came with useful instructions showing the different ways you can use the lead. My dog appears to be comfortable wearing it. However, it’s gotten wet a few times while out walking and recently I have noticed that it seems to have shrunk a small bit.

this item works well to stop dog pulling, however it rubs under the chest and has made my dog sore. we ordered correct size so think it needs more padding on underneath straps.

We have a 3.5-year-old male Labrador who weighs 38.5 kilos (85lbs) and has the strength of a small car. Because of his naturally inquisitive nature, he needs to get everywhere at lightning speed which means whenever I take him out, he constantly pulls on his lead (yeah, I'm a Brit) and by the time we get home, my arms were always aching with the strain. We've tried quite a few different harnesses/restraints over the years and all to no avail. This one turned up yesterday after we returned from another torturous walk (for me) so today was the first attempt. I confess that after having read the positive reviews for this harness, I remained sceptical, however comforted by the fact that I could return it when I proved it didn't work. The harness is available in several different colours to suit the owner’s choice or match with the dog’s coat. I was concerned that the harness and lead would be somewhat flimsy, but they are extremely well made and very strong. We went out on our usual walk in the countryside and I am honestly amazed by the transformation!! Initially, there was no pulling at all until he got used to the harness. Any pulling after that was quickly corrected by a slight (and I mean slight) tug on his lead or by me simply stopping. I kept him on the double lead until we left the village where we live then had him on the single lead attached to the top of the harness for the rest of the walk. I can honestly say that today was the first time in 3.5 years that I thoroughly enjoyed taking the dog out for a walk. No more aching arms for me but more importantly, no more choking noises from my dog which I always found distressing.

I am transitioning from balanced training to positive reinforcement training for my recently rescued year and a half old 90lb German Shepard mix. I was previously using a slip lead because I cannot stand harnesses and didn’t feel I could wak him safely in one. I tried the Halti no pull harness and it sucked. It basically attaches to the dogs collar in the front and has no martingale loop in the back. I started working with a professional trainer who highly recommended the freedom harness and still had my doubts. I figured even with normal use my dog was too big for a plain nylon harness and it would wear out quickly. When I unboxed it, I could tell it was clearly high quality and well made. I didn’t have any inclination it might break on me. I put it on my dog and realized I should probably size up from a L to an XL. The L fit but was totally maxed out and he is still growing and filling out. The XL fits perfectly and had more room to adjust but not too much. The velvet is also a nice upgrade due to the fact that the stomach strap sits behind the elbows. We went on our first test outing with the double leash and it was great! My dog already has some leash training and doesn’t pull too bad unless he sees a trigger like another dog and gets too excited. He does get a little distracted and, unlike other harnesses, this leash/ harness combo allows me to direct him subtly, maintaining positive methods and not having to use corrections but also teaching him what leash pressure means and redirect him accordingly. He responded to the tightening of the martingale loop when he did start to pull and our previous training helped him redirect right back to me when that did happen. I really am a fan of the leash as much as I am of the harness. It is a simple idea really, that the handle is free floating and adjusts to the angle you are holding it at. This is a huge upgrade from the matching halti lead I was using with the halti harness. That one didn’t have a handle at all. You could probably get any double ended leash and attach a traffic handle but this one just moves so easily that it seems more efficient this way. It is just the right length for me and my tall dog. I prefer about a four foot length and I feel that when this is bucked to the front and back of the harness it comes out to about that. My dogs big head fits in between the two straps and I can easily switch sides without the leash becoming tangled. I am definitely now pro- harness and can easily manage my 90 lb reactive teenage dog as a 130 lb 5’3 woman and still maintain the positive methods. I love that they have so many different colors because I am kindof a leash snob and love that the tan matches my dog. I kindof wish they made a leather or biothane version for added boujee- ness and use in wet environments. My dog is accustomed to being leashed and doesn’t attempt to chew. Although this set is sturdy I obviously would not say this is at all chew proof because it is just nylon so if you have a dog that chews you will want to use supervision.
