I don't remember. I think it did. We sent it back right away because it was to small for our St. Bernard. She is not allowed to pull much. If your dogs have any size, and want to pull, I would use a choke collar or electronic collar to train them not to pull much. The electronic collars work well and have to be used very little. Usually just the audible tone is all that is needed as a reminder.

I cannot find any kind of a hook to clip a leash on mine. If that's important to you, you might want to try the Kurgo (I was pretty happy with that one - though the pockets aren't as roomy and it's all one piece). FWIW, my dog pulls a lot and I found a pinch collar works pretty well. Believe it or not, combined with a retractable leash, he's much more manageable. He has more freedom and responds better to the pinch collar. I know that's not the "proper" way to walk a dog, but I'm happy if I can walk him without getting sore arms!

There is a zipper between the shoulder blade area that can be opened for a leash to connect to a harness, if that is what you are using. I don't use it, since I get better control with a neck collar up high behind the ears.

If u r very dillogent with the collar on a leash at first. Then continue to use properly this device will help! Keep in mind it's up to you to continue to condition with the collar until you can fully trust your dog. You will love this products! It has changed my life with my dog! Good luck!

There isn't one. There is a "leash release latch" on center top to hook your leash through to guide it but nothing to directly attach to. We attach to our own collar, through the release latch, and loop thru the handle because have very strong pullers (huskies).

No there isn't. The pack does go around the chest for a good fit but it makes since that if you pull on a leash connection from the pack it would be awkward. So you would want to control your dog from the collar or a different harness. This pack works great and has a lot of room in pockets but balance the weight well. I have a 100 lb German Shepard and he is a big stepper and always bending to smell, ect and it holds well. Also makes the walk seem twice as long to him.

I recommend something with a chain- not completely chain, so they can hear the sound of it pulling closed. Also the harnesses that pull their noses down seem to work for big dogs that already pull. Another bit of advice, don't let them pull you. If the dog is hell bent on going one direction change course with a firm NO. When they quit pulling then they are allowed to make decisions on where the walk will go.

Is it safe to use for tethering a dog to a seatbelt using the back ring? I don't believe this product was ever designed for that purpose. The straps are not that wide, so if the dog were to be restrained during an accident, I don't imagine that it would feel too good for the dog. My answer for that would have to be NO. I will say, that the intended purpose for use with dogs that pull has worked wonderfully for my 9 month old boxer dog. Of course, having an excellent trainer direct us didn't hurt either, but this harness is comfortable for dogs and works. I would definitely recommend this harness and proper positive reinforcement techniques together to correct pulling. Is it safe to use for tethering a dog to a seatbelt using the back ring?

This type slip lead is not going to help with the pulling. I bought The Sporn Halter which works beautifully for any dog that pulls. I highly recommend it for your dog. It fits on the collar and goes behind each front leg and the control is with the legs and not the neck.

We use the gentle leader split leash with a golden and doodle (larger dogs) but they were well trained on split leash walks already. The doodle hates the gentle leader and wants to pull it off but if we keep him on task during the walk he forgets about it after a couple of blocks. Our dogs just walk and don't stop to sniff or pee...they don't go to socialize but rather to exercise. Maybe that's why the gentle leader works as it doesn't give them time to mess with it.

I actually recently found a new harness that I like better than the EZ Walk - it's called the Freedom No Pull Harness. There is a leash you can buy with it that has two straps - so one hooks on the chest and one hooks on the back. That way you have dual control with your lab puppy's pulling. One thing I love about it is that the straps that go under the "armpits" of the dog are lined in swiss velvet so = no chafing. They recommend the medium for 50 pounds, but since it's a lab and will continue growing, I would go with the large. That's what I have for my golden retriever. Good luck!!

I walk 2 dogs using these harnesses with great success. I attach one leash to the harness (at the chest) using the leash handle-loop instead of the clip, and then I clip that leash to the other dog's leash handle loop. This way, I can walk both dogs holding the connected leashes with one hand. For large dogs (50 & 70 pounds), this works geat! This harness is wonderful. It takes some getting used to - I always remove it by unhooking the bottom (different color) strap. That helps me to remember how to put it on the next time!

It may loosen occasionally, I have to tighten mine after every 3rd-4th ride. What worked best for my dog's pulling is a nose harness, she was a different dog after we started using it on walks and did not pull at all. When I ride with her, I put the nose harness on her but attach the bike leash to her body harness not the nose harness. Just having it on keeps her in check. You might want to check that out, got mine at Petsmart for $14.

Thank you for your question! The Easy Walk Harness is designed to prevent pulling during walks. The Gentle Leader Headcollar can also prevent pulling during walks, but is also able to help combat lunging, jumping, excessive barking, and can even help calm an aggressive/anxious animal by simply redirecting their attention to something else.

My dog was a champion puller. I only put it on when we go walking. It fixes the pulling so I'm not sure what wearing it all day would help with, but I don't see any reason why it would be an issue. The straps have a lamb skin pad that cushions the 'armpit' area to keep the straps from irritating his skin. You would have to be canine Houdini in order to skip out of this thing.

I never understood the non-pulling either. But I do know this harness doesn't choke my dog. I can even pick him up with it, as he only weights 7 pds. It is a good comfortable harness. I really liked mine.

Honestly, I can't answer that because I have a cat and this is the first time my cat has been on a leash so right now I'm not having an issue with him pulling on the leash as we walk. If your dog is use to walking on a leash, I recommend getting one for a dog. Hope this helps. Have a great day!

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.
