BARKBAYNo Pull Pet Harness Dog Harness Adjustable Outdoor Pet Vest 3M Reflective Oxford Material Vest for PINK Dogs Easy Control for Small Medium Large Dogs (L)

This is the second dog harness I have purchased from the same brand and company the one prior to this was a smaller size as my dog is growing. I am super pleased with the quality of this harness as it has not gave me any issues it fits well it's made of good durable quality materials. I will continue to buy this brand of harness as it has done wonderfully. . Originally I first went with a different harness and it didn't last no time so then I bought another one and it also did not last as long as this brand. Highly recommended!!

I got this in size small for my new, Labradoodle puppy, at 8wks old and 13 lbs. Tightened the adjustable straps all the way to fit her. Seems durable, is nicely padded, cute too. Didn't take her long to forget it was on her. 😅 Very functional and very helpful with training a new puppy! Seems much more natural and she does not mind hardly at all being directed and moved by the leash hooked to the sturdy metal ring on her back (more like a parent dog carrying them?) - as opposed to the traditional option of a collar on the neck or the great option for strong, older dogs: the awesome, tried and true Gentle Leader halter (which I have used for 10+ yrs with my last Lab mix and will use with my new pup when she's ready). I've never really trained a puppy before 😅 (adopted previous one at 8 months old and he already had some skills), so I'm so very impressed at how this harness has taken a brand new pup, completely unfamiliar with leashes or anything other than roaming free or being carried, and within 1 week, gotten her used to walking on a leash and following the "(Name), Come" command (as I always say it before and during leading her with the leash, and occasionally with the handle when necessary) ON AND OFF the leash at least 40-50% of the time!!! 😃 GREAT for bonding!!! Keep the pup nearby but so manageable (as they're always running off and chewing on everything! 😅)LOVE the handle strap on the back!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ SO helpful with a spry little puppy wiggling and running all over the place! 😂Love that you have the option of attaching the leash to the chest, as well - may use this in the future, but right now she just wants to chew on and play with the leash if I do. 😅SOOO glad I got this before getting my new pup! ❤️😊*Only critique: it would be helpful to have pockets to store the extra strap length in so that it is not hanging freely and enticing chewing or being otherwise annoying to the dog, when you need to have the straps tightened/shortened.*

UPDATE # 2 - I contacted the manufacturer with a photo of the break and their customer service is excellent. They are very sorry about what happened and are sending me a replacement. They will be working on improving the design so this doesn't happen again. Back up to 5 star!UPDATE - Less than one week after giving thi a 5 star review, I have had to downgrade it to a 3. This morning on the beach with my 6 month old German Shepherd, he was pulling hard to try and chase birds. In a split second my husband was left with a leash attached to a broken harness and no dog! One of the harness straps completely broke and my dog instantly escaped the harness like Houdini! I'm very disappointed, as I really believed this harness was sturdy, but if my German Shepherd can break it at only 6 months old, we have a problem.PREVIOUS REVIEW - LESS THAN ONE WEEK PRIOR....I originally bought the medium size when my German Shepherd puppy was 3 months old, but after less than 2 months he outgrew it and I had to buy the large size. He is now 6 ½ months old and 65 pounds and has been wearing the large size for almost 2 months and there is still room for him to grow.I love this harness. Not only does it look cute, but it is very sturdy and fits nicely. My puppy is a very strong puller, so hooking the leash to the back hook isn’t that great. Attaching the leash to the front hook does slow him down and stop him from pulling, but with him it is still a little awkward. I found a great way to use it which makes me feel more secure, more in control and less fearful of one of the hooks breaking off – that is, I loop the leash a couple of times through the back handle and then hook it to the front hook. That method is a tad clumsy and it’s not for times when you want to quickly unleash him, but it works great for longer walks and I feel more in control with him.When he outgrows this one I will buy the largest size.

I purchased this harness for a fast growing husky/malamute mix puppy. She has outgrown it now at six months, and it's time to move on to a new harness. Even though this was a great harness for three months and that grab handle came in handy on many occasions, and even though I rated it highly, I won't be purchasing the same harness in a bigger size for the simple reason that my dog is a 'backwards' puller and she slips right out of the harness, regardless of it being appropriately tightened (but not too tight so as to cause her harness burn or breathing difficulties). So my next harness will be one that is specifically designed to prevent that, like the ruffwear stuff ($$$$). What I ended up doing is putting on her collar and using a carabiner to connect the collar to the leash ring, and attached the leash to the grab-strap. It ended up working pretty well. All this said, this is a very sturdy harness, especially for the price, even after three months of use on a powerful puppy and many beach trips, it barely looks like it has been used. If you have a dog that does not try to slip out of a harness backwards, this is a really great choice at the price point. My only real complaint is that adjusting the front clips could be challenging.

Our escape artist 45 lb dog cannot get out of this harness. I love how easy it is to put on her. I also love the "handle" on top that gives me extra control if she gets excited or scared. It is extremely well made. Well worth the very reasonable price!
