Product Description
The Easy Walk Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. The Easy Walk Harness is simple to use and easy to fit. Your dog will love it as much as you will! Unlike a collar, the Easy Walk Harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area. Traditional harnesses can actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the "opposition reflex". That's the reflex that makes sled dogs do what they do. The Easy Walk Harness redirects the pressure through the front leash attachment. And, the patent pending martingale closure tightens slightly across the chest and shoulder blades when your dog attempts to pull forward. Measure your dog around the rib cage to determine proper fit. 12"-16" Girth = Petite (Teacup breeds), 15"-20" Girth = Small (Jack Russels, Shelties, etc.), 20"-28" Girth = Medium (Border Collies, Spaniels, etc.), 26"-36" Girth = Large (Labs, Goldens, Rotties, etc.). 34"-46" Girth = X-Large (Giant breeds). 'TWEENER SIZES ARE NOW AVAILABLE! Does your dog fall in between 2 sizes? Check out our "in-between" sizes for that perfect fit! 14"-18" = Petite/Small, 19"-25" = Small/Medium and 22.5"-34" = Medium/Large. Choose from Red, Black or Hot Pink.

 Great product! December 27, 2008
P. Wanakule (Austin, TX)
This is a great product! I got it for my new dog, who is a lunger and a puller. She would pull and pull on her collar, basically choking herself, and I often had to use two hands to hold the leash steady. Now with this harness, I have much more control, and can even walk her with only two fingers! The best part is that I know it is not choking or hurting her, and that when she lunges, it causes her to turn back around to face me, redirecting her attention. It is also safer to use with a seat belt leash (like the ones made by Bamboo) than just attaching to a collar. Bottom line, it has made leash training my dog much easier (less effort spent in a brute tug-of-war), so I can focus more energy towards training her to walk with me properly.
I've had only some minor difficulties with this product. Fitting the harness took a lot of patience, since there are 4 different adjustment rings, but it helps make for a very good fit, which is required for proper use. I bought the medium as directed from the girth on the size chart, but the front strap seems a little tighter than it should be, so I may choose a size up if I ever need to purchase another one. It doesn't feel too tight, but doesn't exactly reflect the fitting illustration in the instructions. But I believe there are also "in-between" sizes available, like S/M and M/L in addition to the usual S M L, which could help solve any sizing concerns you might have. Lastly, on a trip to the beach, the saltwater caused the pink dye to run and stained onto my dog's fur a little bit (I guess because I never pre-washed it before I used it?). After a bath, it hasn't come out, but I'm sure it wear away soon, like any other dye.
On another note, I decided to purchase from this seller despite the slightly higher price because they have a wider variety of colors (everything is pink for my dog)! After I ordered it, the harness came in about one week, and even had a sample of gourmet dog treats in the box with it, which really came in handy while trying to fit the harness. You can get the basic colors for a few dollars less through some other sellers, though.
Easy Walk helps while training October 16, 2007
The Dog Diva (USA)
Pulling on the leash is a self rewarding behavior that, if the dog gets to constantly practice, he gets better at. The Easy Walk Harness makes it possible for owners to walk their dogs, but not allow the dog to pull and get rewarded by getting to go where he is pulling. Cool article here on teaching the dog to walk nicely on lead by using this harness:

 Warning - NOT A PRODUCT FOR DOGS LOW TO THE GROUND August 28, 2007

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had to return 2 of these harnesses (and got dinged a 20% restocking fee from this seller - on top of the cost of shipping both ways). This harness does not work with short dogs. Both my dogs fit the "girth measurement" but the loop where the leash attaches drags on the ground. My two dogs were able to walk out of the thing and kept getting their front legs tangled up. Also there is one dimension where the harness can't be adjusted so you might find, as I did, that the girth measurement is correct, but it still is too big for your dog. The description should have warned the owners of "short" dogs that this would not be a good choice.
