A Good Harness

The main characteristic of a good harness is 'where does the leash attach?" In the FRONT on the dog's chest, not the dog's back. A back-clip harness encourages pulling. A front-clip harness discourages pulling. 

Pet Safe Easy Walk Harness

Sporn HALTER, not harness. The harness is junk. Get the HALTER

Worst characteristics of harnesses

  1. Bought for the color or because it's cute.

  2. Bought for cozy, squishy padding

  3. Bought for Velcro closures

  4. Bought cause it has your college name on it

  5. Clips on the back

Best characteristics of harnesses

  1. Safety. Can the dog back out of it?

  2. Has few features. Harnesses should not have snaps, buckles, handles, or loops. The more features, the worse the product

  3. Is designed to do one thing. Discourage pulling

  4. Leash attaches to the front

The Sporn HALTER is wonderful for dogs with odd-shaped bodies, too. I used this one for decades. The dogs did well, and the owners loved it. I stopped recommending it when the Sporn company stopped making one excellent product and now has an array of junk. If you try this, get the HALTER, not the harness.
