Re: No pull harness

Yep the Freedom is the one you linked! It's a decent harness, miles better than an EasyWalk in my opinion. If you don't like the martingale loop, Victoria Stilwell's harness ( link ) is the same design but with the loop on the back sewny shut so it doesn't tighten; it's the same price as the Freedo...

What one is that? The one with the link I listed?

Re: No pull harness

Personally I'd discount that one because it has a tightening mechanism on it which I can't see as doing anything useful, just causing discomfort. The general front style would probably work okay provided it sat high enough on your dog so as to not affect shoulder movement but that would be dog depe...

Re: No pull harness

The one you mentioned looks almost the same as the EasyWalk, from my point of view. You can't get the PF from Amazon as far as I know. The ones that come up when you search "perfect fit harness" aren't the one we mean. There's a "tiny" range for dogs like small puppies and chihu...

Re: No pull harness

The Perfect Fit doesn't lie across the shoulders like the EasyWalk does, and is padded in soft fleece that will not chafe the skin :) If you're in the USA, CleanRun is an online shop that carries it. Another option could be the Freedom harness; it does lie more across the shoulders than the Perfect...

No pull harness

We've tried the Easy Walk Harness, for two days on Daisy. Nothing but trouble. She got out of it, on one side, so we tighten it up, next day, it was on her and she chewed it in two. Then we saw it chafed on under her arms, tore the skin. Took that back, what else can we try that won't hurt her? I'm ...

Hi

I'm Kala, I'm from Iowa, and I love It's Me or the Dog. :) I just got my first dog from rescue 11 days ago. Her name is Daisy, she's two years old and a Shih Tzu mix. We're working on training her to be an assistance dog for me. We're just doing basic commands right now. I wish there a was Positivel...
