Four PawsWalk-About Comfort Control Tug Free Dog Harness, Adjustable Soft Padded Beathable Air Mesh Dog Vest, Black, Medium

16 APRIL 2011: I've added an update today. If your dog likes to chew on anything he/she can get to, it might be valuable inforamtion. The update is at the end,... scroll down to read it.****************19 MARCH 2011:Got one of these for our miniature pincher. She was very happy with it. Or at least it seemed that way. I could swear she taught/knew she was getting a new fashion item. She was sitting there, watching me unpacking, ... the moment I took the harness out of the package, she got al exited, started jumping around, standing and jumping on her back feet.... I had a hard time putting it on her, with her jumping all over the place. I wished I had my camera rolling.We're happy with this harness. She had a standard harness before, but we had to take it off because after wearing it for a while, it started to irritate her skin just under her chest and front legs. I saw an ad for these comfort harness and decided to try one.These are indeed better. The design is such that it's not sharp under the dog's body, especially under the `armpits'. It's round, soft and flexible. The mesh design forms well around her front body and looks really good.I was able to google a picture of the label to see the sizes and measurements. Measured the chest and neck and compared it to the chart. Based on the measurements and the chart I decided to get the medium size. The fit is ok, ... it seems a just a tiny-bit large around the front of her body, but not so large that it's too large for her. You can adjust the fit around the body to an extent. It seems you have quite some space to adjust. So medium would fit I suspect quite a range of different size dogs. The neck and front, where the most of the mesh is, is a fixed size. So that part you can't adjust. But it was probably kept to such a size that it can fit different medium size dogs. I suspect that's why it seems just a tiny bit large for our miniature pincher. I'm thinking perhaps the small size would have fitted her even better. Especially since you can adjust it round the body.Here's a tip. Make sure you adjust the harness well around her body. Don't make it too tight, but don't leave it to loose either. Here's why. Initially I let it just a little loose around her body. But our little pincher likes to chew on anything that's plastic. And she'll chew it up till there's nothing left. After three days she had it on, I noticed she had start chewing on the buckle where you close the harness. I realize she was able to do this because I left it a bit loose. Thankfully I noticed it on time. I adjust it, made it tighter, not too tight, but just so it fits well around her. That way she could not get to it. I was concerned perhaps it was bothering her, but after observing her for a few days I could reassure my self she was ok, and it was not bothering her at all.The only regret I have is that I ordered the black color. I was a bit weary of getting red, purple or blue. But now I think one of the colors would probably looked even better on her. I'm thinking red. The black is nice, but looks so,..... well,... colorless. I'm thinking I might get a red one, but then size small.Here's short version of what I've seen on one of the measurement charts. I've only put the size and typical breed that it would fit. I left out the weight, and neck and chest size. There's actually also the size in inches around neck and body. I may add them here later, if I got time to do so. Any way here's the short version for now.Size-XS: Puppy Yorkie, puppy Maltese, ChihuahuaSize-S : Yorkie, Maltese, Toy Poodel, PomeraninaSize-M : Japanese Chin, Miniature Pincher, French Bulldog, Boston TerrierSize-L : Shih Tzu, Pekingese, Mini SchnauzerSize-XL: Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Pug, Fox TerrierI'd advise you measure neck and body of your dog, and google the measurement chart, see what fits your dog best. If I get time, I'll add the size in inches here later. But for now you can probably best google it.******************************UPDATE - 16 APRIL 2011:Today I find my self adding an update to this review. Our min.pincher just chewed through the buckle last night! I think the size of the harness was just a tiny-bit loose for her. She was able to turn and get to the buckle. Perhaps I should have gotten the small size after all. But I'm only bringing the number of stars from 5 to 4. I still think this is a good harness. The buckle got chewed, because that's the character of the min.pincher. Just read that today online. They like to chew, and will chew on anything they can get their teeth on. Of course if the buckle was on top of his back, then I don't think any min.pincher can get to it (that's why I'm bringing it down to 4 stars). But then again, I'm not sure,... since I've just read that the min.pincher is also called "the Houdini of dogs" because of it's ability to escape,... and that does seem to match our. min.pincher.In any case, if your getting this harness,... you need to be aware if your dog likes to chew on anything he can get to, and take that into consideration.By the way, I also just found out that these are actually not the ones from the ad I saw on TV. Those were the Comfy Harness Control ones. I can't find them here on A. But I think, for the next one I'm going to get (since this one is all chewed up now) I will look for the actual Comfy Control Harness and try one of those. I think those actually has the buckle on top of the back, ... I'm hoping our min. pincher can get to it in that position. I might update this post once I have that one.Thanks for reading.********************

I have a 2.3 pound puppy. I sized up. I ordered a SMALL not an extra Small as the chart suggested. It fits her perfect. She is a mini-Australian Labradoodle, her projected full grown weight is 20 pounds.The extra small wouldn't have. She'll probably outgrow the Small size in 4 weeks. I love the softness of this harness. I would recommend it and I will buy it again when ready to size up.

My cairn terrier (29 lbs,) tried to jump out of my arms when I was carrying him down a couple of flights of stairs. (He's an older dog, and has some joint issues in his back legs, so I was carrying him down the stairs.) In an instant I had to decide if I could stop him. I had his back legs on my left arm, and his fore paws over my left shoulder before he jumped, when he suddenly became excited by the prospect of a walk and the sight of the outside door and decided to try to take a short cut to the front door, via a ten foot leap of death to the ground floor.I had what was supposed to be a seat belt safety harness on him. It was composed of heavy nylon web weave straps, with an "I" shape, formed by an under-body strap that terminated in two straps going over his back and around his neck. I grabbed the seat belt loop that was on the back of it to save my dog from a deadly fall, and most of his weight fell on the point where the strap around his neck met the strap under his body, right on his trachea. I thought he was going to die right then and there. He didn't, but he was in bad shape for quite some time, gagging and coughing with alarming frequency. I bought this harness to get rid of any un-due force on his trachea when walking him following this injury.Positive Aspects:1. Very flexible, so it reduces stress on the neck. Less stress means he spends less time with his head down hacking due to further bruising of his trachea when he gets excited and pulls to get to another dog or when a loud motorcycle goes past.2. Lightweight, although with a 29 lb. cairn terrier, one wonders about the relevance of a few ounces.3. Easy to put on, because I originally trained my dog to put on a similar harness that required him to put his head through an encircling strap, so he knows what to do when I say "put your harness on". (You should probably train yours in a similar manner, if you don't want to have to fight with your dog to get this harness on.)Negative Aspects:1. So flexible that it must fit very snugly (relative to the chest strap adjustment) to avoid coming off. The first two days, when I was trying to keep the harness adjusted loosely round his chest to reduce stress on his neck and chest, he pulled the harness off three or four times, and was running loose in the street. Good thing there wasn't any traffic, and he obeyed when I shouted "stop!" and his name.2. Seems so light weight that with a little dog as big as mine, I have to wonder how it would hold up against a more serious effort by him to get loose, or a greater strain on the harness, such as might occur if I use it in the car with a seat belt as a restraint system.3. I wonder if this would be a good choice for a larger dog, because the harness is so prone to flex and is so lightweight. Will it withstand a serious effort by a large, muscular dog to remove it? (Take care to adjust it snugly around the chest, and if you're like me, you'll still be wondering all the time if it will come off at the worst possible moment.)ConclusionsI use this harness exclusively for my dog due to his injury. I'm also trying to get him to lose some weight, although at twelve years of age, it's hard to break old habits relative to begging for treats. (I keep thinking that this may be his last day on earth, and I don't want him to feel like I suddenly became mean to him in his final days.)I'd avoid this harness if I had a larger, muscular dog. I see this as a "small dog harness" (up to 20 lbs.). If my dog were not injured, I'd probably use an alternative nylon harness that I bought with a "V" shaped strap system under each of the legs, which is much more secure and safe in traffic.Even with small dogs, be sure to adjust the chest strap snugly and test the harness around the apartment or house before going outside. This is easy to do. Show your dog a treat, then, with the leash taught, so you don't cause the dog to encounter a sudden stop (and tracheal bruising/injury) when he/she chases after it, toss the treat just behind the dog. Make sure your dog is pointed toward you and must pull backward to get to the treat with the leash taught. If your dog can pull out of the harness by backing out of it, adjust it and try again using the same procedure, making your dog try to back out of the harness. If you reach a point where you feel certain your dog won't be in danger by backing out of this flexible harness (which is how my dog get's out of it), exercise your own judgement relative to whether to proceed outside into a dangerous world.Keep an eye on your dog and traffic while walking him/her with this harness, and be ready to pounce to grab your dog and tighten the harness if your dog seems to be on the verge of backing out of it. You may wish to explore the alternative harness type I mentioned, with "V" shaped straps under the legs on either side, for a more secure, and potentially safe option in terms of avoiding having a dog on the loose who may run under the wheels of a vehicle.

Fits well on my ES Spaniel Puppy

Es mejor una correa simple, no cumple la función de una pechera y se ensucia desde el primer día. Tampoco se puede esperar mucho por el precio pero no cumple su función. Materiales de muy mala calidad y lo poroso del material hace que absorba más partículas de polvo y se vea más sucio. Compre otro y al final agarre uno de Dean & Tyler aquí en Amazon que es el que más me ha gustado y cumple su función.

li esr rfes heureux bien fait je be sais si qualiter esf bonne sendle correct mon chon marchre avec distinction et surtout n,oubliez mo harnai pout les sortie propre fier le pense qui a gagner le gros lot ha ha peut etre il ne medit pas rout merci marc

I was a bit disappointed with this I found the material very thin and cheap. For the price that you were paying it’s not bad but I would suggest to pay a little bit more and get a better material

In hindsight I'd have paid more for one that has a buckle for the top strap. This is good for what it is, but it's really hard to get over my dogs head and I feel like I'm hurting him, it fits once on though.
