Harness Recommendations?

[AMart79]

I was wondering what you guys use as far as harnesses go? I want to get Buster with a good one and could use some suggestions Any amazon links would be even better!

DO you have issues with Buster walking? If so I would recommend and easy walk harness, but this is not something that is forr all day everyday use. It does work miracles and is completely safe and comfy though

I love these Amazon.com: Puppia Soft Dog Harness (Mesh) Black Large: Kitchen & Dining

They hold up well, are soft and mesh, and fit well. Moe wears XL, but he is a big boy.

ooo great suggestions guys. I'll check these both out. Buster just pulls a little to were he'll somewhat choke himself so i think a good harness is probably what he's gonna need but just for walks. He usually wears just his collar or goes commando inside haha

I'm going to need to check out these sites --i'd like to get a couple new harnesses for my (naughty) boys too.

I really really love this one for Orion. It's a step in harness...which is the only type I've ever used. It also has a "L" and a "R" on the inside buckle so you know which way to put it on. I am always trying to put the others on backwards. I found O a black one on clearance and I really want more. These are just a great harness at a decent price.

I think that the AKC harness in an 8 shape is great. One foot threw one loop and the other foot threw the other side and has a plastic buckle (kinda like a bra lol now that I think about it) and then there are the hinges for the leash. I like this harness because it doesn't come near the neck and i like this because it's one less thing I have to worry about if they gain or lose weight it's adjustable and it's pretty.

We are working on Bo's pulling (10 months old) and for us, a harness made the problem worse. As a puppy, Bo made himself almost PASS OUT from pulling on the leash! It scared me to death. Multiple times. It amazed me that the need for air wouldn't over ride the desire to get to the doggie/cat/squirrel/whatever in front of him.

When we were working on the pulling with Ruckus we used the Sporn no pull harness. This one went under each armpit and connected on his back. When he pulled it put pressure the front of his armpits, not the chest or neck area.

Welcome to BUDDY BELT (A Division of Class Art Productions Inc.)

I recently "splurged" and pick up a buddy belt for Lucy and I LOVE it. Lucy is 3 and full grown so if you are looking for a pup I would save your money and wait until the pup is grown to invest.

Check out the site. Well made, all leather, beautiful. I am getting another one soon in a different color.

I also use it in the car to secure Lucy to the car seat strap.

When Lucy was a pup I always had good luck with the SPORN "no pull harness" (a much less expensive alternative!)

Good Luck!

I had this problem with Dozer, a regualr harness gave his something to pull against. I didn't like regular anitpull harness's because I didn't like the idea that they would hurt under his armpits/legpits? With the easy walk the leash clips in front of their chest so if they pull they are turned to the side and can't go anywhere else. No discomfort to the dog =) I put it on him and instantly he walked like a well behaved dog It was a miracle I tell you and no pain rash or discomfort.

good ideas guys! i like the idea of the front clipping one. I've seen ones that clip on the side too that seem like a good idea too
