No Pull Reflective Adjustable Dog Harness With Handle- Comfortable Soft All Weather Mesh, Easy On Puppy Harness For Small Medium and Large Dogs (Blue) X-Small

I wish I'd found this harness sooner!! It instantly improved the quality of our 16-yr-old shih tzu's walks. It's also super effective for our 8-yr-old shih tzu/terrier mix. If you're on the fence about this item, you should go ahead & get it!! Here are some details I hope will assure you.Size: I can only speak to the SMALL; however, the range provided in the item description seems to be an accurate estimate that errs on the conservative side. I say this bc I've found it can be adjusted to fit a little smaller & larger than expected. I ordered a Small bc my guy has a big chest (19"), and it fits perfectly even though he's technically an XS in neck size (12.5") & weight (14#). That being said, I do have the front neck-area portion adjusted to smallest setting for him.My other dog is on the opposite side of the small spectrum, but this harness works great for her as well, & I just ordered her one of her own. She meets small measurements in neck (15") & weight (22#), but her chest (23") is bigger than the suggested max of 22" for the small. Still, the small fits her comfortably with a little room to spare (maybe 3/4"-1" left in adjustment) even in the chest area.Materials/construction: The plastic clips are lightweight but are easy to latch/unlatch & stay secure. The material is very breathable & mesh-like, so it won't be too hot when it gets warmer out. The handle on top lays flat, so it isn't obstructive or annoying but seems easy to grab if needed.Design: I can't overstate the brilliance & effectiveness of the harness' design. It isn't complicated or overbearing for the owner or the dog. It's simple, and it works. I've tried several other harnesses & slings over the years, but they all brought more frustration to either me (in getting them on & off) or my dogs (who both hate wearing anything other than a simple collar) that always seemed to outweigh their benefits. This harness even seems less bulky than others with the same design concept, but it's still very effective. Our very picky dogs don't even seem to notice they're wearing more than a regular collar.I love that this harness is secured around the sternum & under the chest, instead of through the front legs. It latches just far enough back on their chest/torso area that it doesn't seem to cause excessive matting/rubbing from the friction of their front legs. There's also minimal material on their chests, so I don't have to worry about the harness causing them to overheat.WHY I REALLY LOVE IT: I decided to try this harness bc I needed something for our older dog. He's nearly blind & has a pretty significant neurological deficit in his hind legs (has had back surgery & multiple myeloma), yet he still LOVES/lives for our nightly walks. Often he gets caught up in the momentum & will even do a hard turn down the middle of our street to prolong his walks & run down the big hill in our neighborhood an extra time. It does my heart good to see him enjoying himself so much. However, because he can't really see & can't fully control his hind legs, he tends to run all over the place & will inevitably run full speed into the curb unless I intervene. No matter how gently or incrementally I'd tug at his leash with a standard collar, I tended to throw him off balance in my efforts to guide him on his joy runs. I also tried a step-in harness & a sling, which have their benefits, but they restricted his movement & his overall enjoyment.This harness is the perfect solution for us. It disperses the pressure of my guiding tugs effectively, across his chest & upper torso instead of just his neck. He is able to keep his balance while I easily guide him away from obstacles. I can't express how much this harness has made walks better for both of us.It's also been great for our other dog, who benefits in an entirely different way. She's part terrier & can't help but try to chase &/or engage everything she sees. Before we tried this harness, she'd choke herself (usually lunging multiple times in a row at something as we pass) at some point on every walk. I wasn't surprised this harness successfully prevents choking when she pulls- that's what it's supposed to do. HOWEVER, amazingly, it does something else that I wasn't expecting at all!! Somehow, this harness seems to actually help me shift her focus away from the distraction & keep her moving forward. Before I tried the harness, she'd pull continually, turning sideways, backwards, etc. to maintain contact with the distractions. However, with the harness, I only have to tug once or twice AT MOST before she continues on with our walks undeterred. It's like she's a different dog! I'm truly amazed by how much better she responds to my guidance with this harness. I just love it! I hope you & your dogs will, too!

Good fit, seems comfortable & easy to pick up our senior mutt to help him around with the strap to support him

Upon arrival I thought it was very small compared to the pictures on the sight. However I tried it on my dogs and it fit well. Overall it was much easier to put on my dogs as opposed to trying to put on their legged ones. I'd put one foot in and then the other leg, while they stepped out of the fist leg. A real pain when you're in a hurry.

Great product easy adjustment to fit my fur baby. The snap sound of the latches scares my dog. Otherwise love it.

Very nice. Lightweight but good construction. Great buy!

Choke dogs

Perfect for my little dog.

I needed an escape-proof dog harness for the abandoned “Snow Puppy” I rescued, near death, from a snowbank last week. (When she “asked” if I’d formally adopt her, I said “YES,” and we’ve been madly in love ever since.) Copatchy, through Amazon, solved our “on the street restraint” issues the next day by delivering the extra-small, the small, and the medium-size harnesses I ordered.After a bit flailing, the dog (a 23-pound Jack Russell Terrier) has informed me that the SMALL one fits best. Since then Copatchy has graciously volunteered to replace the (unused) X-TRA Small and the MEDIUM with correctly sized replacements. Kind and gracious, indeed, they were and are. I think that, like me, they genuinely appreciate dogs and understand a thing or two about their care and maintenance.Be warned that LIKE ANY RESTRICTIVE HARDWARE, it took some playtime and tail-wagging for puppy and I to “orchestrate” the clips and straps. But now, despite it being slightly chewed and mangled, she shows it off as a badge of honor. Know in advance that until Fido gets acclimated, having a spare on hand is a VERY good idea. Thanks to Copatchy for the “uniform” that my “newest child” (gentle smile) can live and thrive in. Many thanks to all of them. I am grateful. X
