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 25"-35" = Medium/Large

Of course, everyone always has suggestions on what you're doing wrong when you have a dog that just can't seem to stop pulling. I know how it feels, because I have one of those dogs. Regardless of consistant training (mine and hers,) this was the only thing that we just couldn't seem to conquer. Many suggested the "Gentle" Leader (among other things,) but after much training and size readjustments she was STILL managing to pull it off her muzzle and rub her little sniffer to a bloody mess.
Finally, I saw this harness and figured I might as well give it one last chance. I am SO glad I did!!! First time out, she had it. I was stunned. I knew she was a champion!!! : )
UPDATE...
I still think this a great product, but do have one warning. My dog went swimming while wearing her harness and afterwards, we continued on our walk. When we got home, the wet harness had rubbed her raw underneath her "armpits." We have never had this problem with the dry harness, but I would not recommend letting your dog wear it wet.

I adopted a 90 lbs but very sweet monstrosity of a dog. He loves to walk and apparently doesn't care that I can't keep up with him. He would constantly pull on the leash and either drag me off balance, choke himself or both. I got this with the hope of keeping him from choking on this collar, but instead got a lovely surprise that he doesn't like to lunge away from me anymore. At first I put the thing on backwards intentionally, not understanding why the leash attached where it did (at the front, chest area), but once I put the thing on the right way, he would lunge and not be able to get his front legs out stretched in front of him, so couldn't complete the lurching motion. He fell over a few times, but figured out quickly that this was not something he could do any longer. He still pulls (did I mention 90 lbs?), but he does it more cautiously and therefore gives me warning so I can brace to keep him where he should be. We are still learning, but as I am new at this, the harness was really a life saver. I am back to get one for the 50 lbs puppy that was found on the side of the road several months ago with hopes that he doesn't grow out of it.
I am not sure how it does or does not work for shorter dogs, however. Mine both have some German Shepard in them and are anything but close to the ground.

We have two medium sized dogs: about 55-60 lbs and the medium-sized harness works beautifully for them.
I am sorry that the other reviewers had a bad experience. You really should consider giving it a second chance friends. Maybe try it in a pet-store, where an experienced personnel can help/show you the correct way to put it on and handle it.
We first got a "Halti" (over the snout harness) for my younger 'un and she would constantly try to pull it off. Walking on hard surfaces meant she had a bloody snout in just a couple of days. Painful as it was, she insisted on rubbing her nose into the ground to pull this off. My older one is a tad bit more calm and she doesn't mind the Halti Head Collar #3 Medium (50-90-lbs) - Halti at all.
So I use and love both these Gentle Leader products. Armed with these - I can actually go on a walk in heels, with two cute 60lb 'monkeys' who want to chase every squirrel on the block, but can't :)
I prefer this to the Halti for the simple reason that there is no sinus pressure, nothing of a painful nature for your pooch, just the fact that their direction turns the moment they pull. That way, they learn quickly that if they pull they will not be able to go ahead at all!
What a wonderful harness March 31, 2009

This is such a great harness to use for dogs who pull! We've used this style of harness on our Golden since she was 3 months old after our trainer recommended it. She fought it at first, trying to wiggle out (succeded once until we got it adjusted perfectly), but once she got used to it, she didn't pull at all. It's a great alternative to tools like head collars if your dog can't get used to wearing one. It's also really easy to put on. Black loop over the head (black in our case) tan/gray strap under the chest behind the dogs legs, clip at one side and you're done. I purchased the M-L tweener size because she grew out of her medium size. It was great being able to just adjust the straps as she grew. It fits her great, but she really doesn't need it anymore. She's 8 months old and she so great on the leash now! The only downfall was that since the leash is in front of the dogs chest she could get at it and bite/pull on the leash that way. We've taken care of that problem with redirection and training, but I definitely wouldn't reccommend using this in place of a collar for that reason. Also the dog can get to the straps and probably chew through them. I could see it causing bald spots if left on all the time. But all in all, this is a great harness for help with pulling dogs!

My dog is a puller and this harness helps a lot! It doesnt completly stop the pulling, but it helps. I like that they now have tweener sizes because he was too big for a medium and too small for the large.
