The no-pull harness I currently use (front clip) rotates when my dog pulls. Do any of you have the same issue with this harness?

I have not experienced this problem. But the harness I purchased fits very snug even though it is let out all the way. I almost returned it for the next larger size however since it is only on my dog during walks decided it might be better to have a snug fit. However, I have a large Male Husky and this harness has not stopped his pulling completely.

The harness rotates a little bit when on my welsh corgi but I don't have it tight on him. The optional lead that connects the two clips may help with the rotating.

Yes. That's why I don't use the front clip. I use the back clip combined with a martingale collar. Much more effective with the no-pulling.

For my dog it pulls but does not rotate, maybe it is not tight enough across the chest.

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?

I know this is an old question but I have a 70# Bouvier pup that used to pull on the leash and his prong collar is working like a champ. You might just want to enlist a trainer to help get you started with it.

Since your dog is so young, I would try a regular collar first. My dog was older and already a puller and the collar helped correct that problem.

I have 2 Golden Retrievers and one has always been a puller and a dragger. Never experienced a problem with her "backing out" to date. Mind you, it does`nt make her the (perfect) walking Dog but I know longer need to risk having my arm pulled out of my shoulder socket.

I think it would be best for you to contact the seller of this harness. I no longer use the harness. Previous answer by David is excellent. Give that loving doggie a big hug and kiss for me.

You could help a little but not too much. The straps are designed to pull back on a dog that's lunging forward. If you pull forward/upward, the front strap becomes useless and the bottom strap will dig into the dog's armpits. If it is just a little weight/pressure it will be ok. But too much force and that bottom strap will be very uncomfortable for the dog, plus the whole harness could slip off.

Easy walk harness? Great for dogs that pull when you walk.. Not designed to train loose leash walking or heeling... I think it is a bit restrictive and I would not want my dog running with it. It really is just best for helping people control dogs that pull too hard on walks and don't have time or ability to train loose leash or heeling behaviors.

For sure, the neck hole is very generous. I find that unless your dog is intentionally pulling backwards and TRYING to slip out it should't come off. It's a great running/pulling harness. I got the medium for my husky (she's 22kg) if that helps for comparison.

I think the yuppie Puppy harness is the best on the market. I had one but I have two puppies. I tried many other harnesses and none of them worked as well. I use mine on my dog which is part chiwawa and part pomerainian. the chi-pom has long hair and it is not a problem. It also is a good tool for leash training. When I use it the dog has learned to walk beside me, not running off his own way. Best I have ever found. I was very happy to find it on Amazon. Hope you find it as useful as I did.

Renate to Medium should be fine...obviously because every dog is built a little different fits vary....if you are looking for a really great no pull harness however I would check out the RC Canine Equipment No Pull Harness on Amazon. Love their products, great quality and they work!

Hi Dee,I am probably not qualified to assist you but just to add to the previous responses, I am a small guy and purchased this harness because of its adjustability. I have a large brushcutter that I use for hours at a time and as indicated by others it takes the load off and I have found it very comfortable. Good luck with it. John

Hope you got it right. Hold the silver part so that you are seeing the heart shape upright. Fix the harness so that it is not twisted. Then your dog's head should fit through between the back and then front harness. My dog actually got used to it so that even when I use other harness she tries to stick her head out for me to put the harness through her head even though the other ones don't required that.

I would need to see the exact setup. Chances are, that the head tube is too thick. Also, depending on your dog's behavior and strength, I would caution against having him/her pull on the front of the bike, as this can lead to abrupt changes of direction (potentially hazardous). The rear is less susceptible to course changes when a dog pulls. It could also easily be, that the dog's hind legs and the bikes rear wheel get too close if you attach the dog to the front of the bike.

It should work with a front harness. We have two hounds (fox hound, and beagle). They pull HARD on a normal leash, so we use front harnesses. Surprisingly enough, when they walk together on the tandem leash, they don't pull. We've actually started using their regular harnesses with this leash.
