I cannot figure out how this goes on the dog? Can you help?

It's hard to tell you but the leash ring goes toward the back end of dog and he needs to step in to harness once it's around the neck. Hope this helps.

There are two circles joined by two short straps on opposite sides of the circles. On one of the short, strait straps there is a ring where the leash attaches. The ring is the top, rear of the harness, which goes around the body of the pet. The other ring goes around the neck. Both circles have to be adjusted for the girth and neck. It is best to adjust both sides equally, as growth adjustment is then easier. Enjoy!

The D-ring should be on the dog's back. You put the dogs head through that opening, and then secure the other strap under their torso and through the strap coming down the chest/front of the dog.

The smaller hole gets slipped over their head. Then you pick up the right leg and put it in that hole. Then you clasp the harness closed on the left side, behind that leg. Easy peasy. Once my dog became familiar with it, she would even wiggle her head in and throw her right leg at me. :)

This worked on my little doxie for a while but he is very stubborn. So, eventualy I stopped using it because he would bark through it and run it out. I dont know that it is necessarily too much for your dog, but she is probably just very confused about why this puff of smelly stuff keeps spraying her. That is how my doxie acted at first.

It took me several adjustments to get it to fit right. Try letting out on the front adjustment and tightening the one that goes around the chest to see if that might move the straps back . That worked on mine . you could probably make some fleece pads if that doesnt work and than readjust . Remember that this halter isnt meant to be that total answer to pulling. They also still need training as well. It just throws them a bit off when they try to pull. Before our Poodle got the hang of the harness and training he sort of learned to walk sideways to make the harness not work the way it should lol!

The collar works. It has to be on snug. You will be able to tell due to your dog doesn't like it. The barking will halt or change to a cry till he or she stops.

I really wanted this to work because I have a 60lb bulldog/bassett mix who pulls terribly. First, it took is over 20 minutes to figure out how to get it on as the directions are only pics. Second, when we finally did have it on securely, the dog pretty much slipped right out of it the moment we headed out. We went through this process on three separate, by two different people thinking we missed a step, and perhaps we did, but all three experiences led us to never use it again. I could see that it would work if easier to get it properly placed and fitted on your dog. It was probably owners misuse.......I don't know, but it wasn't easy for us that's for sure I really wanted this to work because I have a 60lb bulldog/bassett mix who pulls terribly.

Check make sure collar is tight enough and that the leads are making good contact with the dogs skin. you may have to trim some hair where the leads make contact with the dog.

Eek..Since my dog does not 'go' while wearing it, I have not yet washed it! I was planning on hand-washing, though since is so small.

I got our collar out and did a test rum on my lab who weighs about 60# and had her try to reach the front of her paws (dog biscuit reward induced!). She just couldn't quite reach. This collar restricts their stretch to some degree in all directions. I would say it is worth a try to try to break the habit, if it is a habit and not something physiologic. Vets should carry these--they are MUCH better than the cone (we call it The Lampshade!)--an outstanding product and I am glad to have it on hand for the next time we need it. Have you tried spraying the top of your lab's paws with Bitter Apple? Apparently, not all dogs hate the Bitter Apple as much as my dog does, however! Another suggestion I would make is to get the dog boots and use them for a time on her front paws. We use them in the winter for below zero weather--Lucy isn't crazy about them but she does get used to them. She had a bad cut on one of her paws a few years ago and we put a boot on over her bandages and she got used to it. The bandages had to be on for about a month, dressed daily followed by the boot and she was very good about the whole thing once she got over the weird-ness! Good luck working this problem out with your lab--they are the best dogs, aren't they?!!

I agree with Cindy about the proper fit as our dog definitely responds. You do have to be sure the collar is making the proper contact with the dog's neck. Good luck

Watch the sizing and introduction video. You must introduce it slowly and put on for brief times (Without walking at first). All dogs will rub their nose as its a new sensation. You must use positive misdirection. Lots of treats in the beginning and keeping it on for 3 minutes a few times a day will work. Be patient - don't use to walk for up to a week. My Lab was used to it and walking by the third day. Watch the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_y3sjc1yY50Obedience classes are a great tool.

It's not super hard to put on, but you do have to put it over the dogs head and pull their legs through the holes. Once you get the hang of it, it's not bad. Hope this helps

Incidentally, you can always give it a try and send it back if it doesn't fit (they have a great return policy at Amazon)-- judging from the other answers, it looks like it may just depend on the pup!

I've had to adjust my harness several times. My dog was able to pull one of his front legs through the front of the harness until I figured out how to adjust it. I have it tighter on front with a little more give around the chest. My dog is still growing and I've noticed the chest strap getting snug so I'm going to adjust again. Play with the tightness of the straps and see if that helps. Hopefully the harness will work for you... I've just kept adjusting til I found what works!!!

I bought it for my dog, he likes it, but sorry it won't help you. Good luck, but it is adorable.

My review says it doesn't, but someone commented about it, and I tried it again, and it does. Can't find my review to change it. Is it fantastic, not sure, you'd have to try it on your dog, and I'd suggest trying a couple of times. Good luck with your Newfie.

I'm not too sure maybe a small? I would try and send a message to the seller and ask them. I read you want the edge of the cone to come past their nose, but my dog being a German shephard has a long nose so his goes slightly past the cone. The cone has a couple Velcro adjustments to go more snug or loose. Hopes this helps, let us know. Good luck

it just sets on a table and you put the loop around the dog's neck and secure it. I bought another attachment that I like better that works well with this table; one for the neck and one for the hip area, which works better for me, because my dog always wants to sit down when I am grooming that area. And my dog would snap or squirm, when I groom her, and this holds her still. I have a 3.5 pound Yorkie, so it also makes it easier to put her top knot in. The table turns when she tries to walk away so she stays in place for me. I love mine! I highly recommend it!
