Does this harness protect from the dog hurting their neck when on leash?

Absolutely! I have two yorkies that don't go on a leash now without their (these) harness. There are two metal rings, which connect to your leash, making it even more stable and preventing dog from choking and coughing, as mine were doing prior their harnesses :) Hope that helps!

yes it does. It's a great addition to taking your dog for a walk. My dog likes to run at lightning speed and when he hits the end of the leash it usually snaps him back. I don't like that pull on his neck. The step in makes it easier too when you are trying to get out the door. It's easy to put on and the leash snaps on the back near thier shoulders. Hope this helps.

It has a slit in the back for the leash to hook to the collar, so it might work with a harness too.

I did not like the plastic prong collar. I use the metal prong on my golden/chow mix (he has lot of hair but it does wear it away but does not cause sores). I also use the metal prong on my boxer/pit mix and it does not seem to bother her neck at all. Along with the metal prong I use a regular chock chain color. Hope this helps.

The harness has not bothered my dog, and she now has two of the harnesses. However, while my dog's coat is short, it is also thick...thick in the sense that you have to work to see her skin. This answer might not have helped, but I wanted to give you an accurate answer.

It clips into the place that the seat belt does. so the answer to that is no because there is no place for the harness to clip into when using this leash. At best it prevents the animal from becoming a projectile in a accident or a fast stop. The back seat shoulder harness belt is designed for a human being. I don't believe the vehicle seat belt harness would work for a dog or any other pet with or without the dog leash. This dog leash should be used with a well fitting dog harness for maximum safety.

The harness doesn't restrict movement on our dogs at all... I guess it's a matter of how well the get the sizing figured.

I have not made the collar tight enough to stay on the back of the neck. The collar migrates to underneath the neck while the dogs are playing. I think they respond well because it is not painful but irritating. They can't quite figure it out so they just mind your command and continue playing.

This type of collar works like a choker chain but not as rough on the neck because you can adjust it. When I run or bike with my dog who is large I use a harness.

Yes it will. Any harness is better than a collar around a dog's throat. What I especially like about this is you aren't fumbling with a buckle. With this one you just slide the locking device and release the button. Hold down the button and slide it to loosen again and it slips on and off easily.

Our dog is quite large (70lb) and the restraint keeps her from being thrown forward in a sudden stop. It also contributes to controlling her when we are exiting the vehicle, giving us time to safely put her on a leash and then releasing the tether.

If the collar is adjusted correctly you should be able to regain control. If you do have a problem keeping the collar on use an over the shoulders harness as a secondary safety on a separate leash.

I confess that the only running for me involves water fights with my grandchildren, but I have used this harness with 2 separate dogs -1 a very friendly 100 pounder who had very little exposure to a leash and they both very quickly learned to "walk nicely." It doesn't appear to cause them any pain or stress. Love this product.

yes, i love this harness over any other and I have tried several. It keeps you dog snug without hurting them and gives so much more control over your dog than a collar.

I got mine hoping it would keep my dog from pulling on the leash...It didn't work for me because it would get to tight on her neck...I'm not sure if it will keep your dog from climbing the fence wish I could be more helpful..

There will be enough room for you to have a standard collar around the neck, If you have a harness, there is a slit in the top of the vest where you can connect the leash. Hope this helps :)

No, if you size the collar correctly, they do NOT hurt the animal. The animal will only feel the discomfort from the nubs when you are making a correction which is what it is designed to do. Now, the harder the correction, the more the animal will feel it and could yelp if you pull to much, to quick (hard).

There is a small strap with a hook on it and you hook it to there collar or harness. I like using a harness better it restricts there movement a little more
