Product Description
Product Description
The Easy Walk Harness is a no-pull dog harness that helps stop pulling and teaches him better leash manners. The Easy Walk Harness has been loved and trusted by millions of pet parents and trainers since 2004 to help improve walks around the world. Since this harness rests across your dog’s chest, you won’t have to worry about it putting pressure on your dog’s neck like when he wears a standard collar. The patented martingale loop on the front of the harness makes this harness great for dogs who pull. As your dog pulls or lunges, the specially designed loop tightens, putting gradual pressure on your dog’s shoulders, allowing you to help redirect their focus. The leash attaches to the front of the harness so you can help gently guide your dog. Your dog will be cool and comfortable while wearing his harness. The Easy Walk Harness has less coverage than other harnesses making it lightweight and very breathable. The harness is also incredibly durable and ready for every walk or hike. The Easy Walk Harness is quick and easy to fit. We’ve made the belly strap a different color from the rest of the harness, so you’ll be able to easily put on your dog’s harness for your next walk together. You can purchase the Easy Walk Harness risk-free because whether the harness isn’t the right size or your dog mistakes the harness for a chew toy, our Customer Care team is happy to assist you with a new size or replacement. You and your dog will soon enjoy pull-free walks together. Trust PetSafe to help keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

I am blown away!
Even after I read all the five star reviews, I was skeptical. I bought this harness and got same-day shipping. I walked her that evening and I couldn't believe my eyes! The first time she pulled, the harness snugged up on her chest and gently turned her to face me; she stopped immediately. She turned and kept walking, but slower and more mindfully. I gave her some slack in the extendable leash and then locked it down--as soon as she pulled again she immediately stopped again. That's it. Pulling is over. My 13 year old is now walking her every day and loving it! She doesn't pull, she minds the "heel" commands. If she gets too excited and starts to pull, she stops as soon as the harness snugs around her. She's starting to walk better with just her regular collar and no harness at all. This harness appears to be breaking her pulling habit entirely!!
Here is what you need to know with fitting. My dog is a mixed breed and is barrel-chested for her size. I really worried that I would never get the right fit. I have a hard time buying any harness for her. If I get it large enough for her chest, it's too large for her paws and neck and she can slip it easily. We've been through many. Not the case with this one!
Fitting: Measure the largest part of your dog's chest. Buy the size that most narrowly matches that chest measurement. My dog's chest is 24 inches, which fits in the size range for the Medium which is for 20-28" chest. I took her PetsMart and tried the medium on her and it was HUGE! I couldn't make it tight enough to stay on her. So I ordered the Small/Medium which is for 19-25" chest--a more narrow range for her chest measurement. I was worried it would borderline on too tight. It isn't. I had to snug it up quite a bit to make it fit her.
As for putting it on and taking it off: Don't unbuckle everything!!!! It's too confusing. You only need to work with the buckle for the chest strap, which buckles at the side of the chest so you can actually see it!! These harnesses are all 2-color. The strap that buckles around her chest is the second color--in my case silver. The main color, in my case black, is the whole rest of the harness. Only unbuckle the part that buckles around your dog's chest. (See the attached photos) Stand in front of your dog. Hold the harness so the leash loop is facing you and dangling at the bottom (the leash loop is the metal circle on which you will clip the leash to the harness--it will be on your dog's chest, not the top of the back as with other harnesses). Slip the harness over your dog's head and then just buckle the colored strap under the chest and you're all set. Take it off by unbuckling the chest strap and slipping it right over your dog's head. It's not a tight squeeze and is actually so much easier than trying to slip both paws into the leg holes while holding your dog down and buckling the strap with your third arm. This is the easiest time I've ever had getting her into a harness.
You need to know that this harness will loosen itself after some time walking. Not it's strongest feature, but I couldn't even take off a star for this as it is such a miracle to be able to take our dog with us to parks, walks around the neighborhood, etc. There are 4 points on this harness that can be adjusted to fit your dog's individual shape and size. This is very much a strong point for me because my dog is not perfectly proportional. When you first take it out of the box, put it on your dog and check to see which points need adjustment. I can adjust it while it's on her, but it's easier if I take it off, adjust, and put it back on. I don't have to adjust it in the middle of walks. But you should check the adjustment every time you put it on your dog.
Pros: My dog doesn't pull anymore (life altering)!!! Great price (Amazon charged half what pet stores charge--I did not get a discount for this review!); easy to put on/take off; quality construction; 4 points of adjust-ability for a good custom fit.
Cons: none so far (need for periodic fit adjustment is not a big deal to me)
I would recommend this to a friend. I actually recommended it to a total stranger--an older lady in the pet store (without her dog) who said she has a Min-Pin she can't walk or take anywhere because he pulls her so much. I was so enthusiastic she bought one right then and there. My dog was standing there being an angel, wearing her Easy Walk Harness.
Please tell me if you found my review helpful. Please ask if you have questions. Thanks and good luck! I hope this solves your fur baby pulling problem. It certainly solved mine.

Please tell me if you found my review helpful. Please ask if you have questions. Thanks and good luck! I hope this solves your fur baby pulling problem. It certainly solved mine.
My huge complaint is that it dosen't work, and is actualy dangerous, for dogs with short legs such as my Corgi, Dachshunts and the likes. I was walking my Cordi near heavy traffic and he slipped through the harness. Thank God he stayed near me! I tried making the harness tighter but that restricted his movements.
There difinately should be a caution on the box about this issue.
This got to be very problematic for me as I always had to "screen" the conditions outside before taking a pup that badly needed to go. If there was someone outside, I couldn't trust my dog to remember his manners well enough to not try bolting downstairs with me being dragged behind, and there was always the possibility of it being clear when I stepped out, but someone coming out seconds later, and it was bye-bye Brindle.
This harness, however, put a stop to all that. He can still pull, but the way this is designed creates the ability for you, the owner, to pull back far easier without risk of choking or hurting your dog. Now, when I take my dog out, if he sees a person he just has to say hello to, I can hit the button on his retractable leash (a definite recommend as the perfect partner to this harness,) and he gets stopped, forced into turning towards me so he remembers I'm there, and I can control him from then on. He might still be excitable, but the leash prevents him, so long as you're quick on the uptake and paying attention to your dog and what HE'S paying attention to, it prevents him from being able to bolt very far before being turned around and stopped on the spot before he gets too far and trouble ensues.
Now, as I said before, a strong dog can, and a determined dog will, still pull to get to his or her destination, but this harness is well designed, strong, and I have very little trouble keeping my dog under control until the crisis is adverted, (i.e. cat leaves the vicinity or a person stops petting and goes inside.) I have also been able, with 100% success, to pull my pup away from people that just won't get out of the way on the steps (sitting there indefinitely) or who are so amused by my dog that they won't leave and keep egging on his behavior. This harness does help with that as well because, as stated above, it does still pull the dog to the side, forcing their attention back to you, and within a few seconds you can have your dog back to the task at hand rather than on the distractions. As a further plus in the harness' favor, whenever we run across a young child who wants to pet the 'big puppy,' this harness has kept my dog in control so well I never doubted the child would get knocked over by a jumping boxer mix. (And if any of you have ever had a boxer, you know they love jumping on every person they meet, even if jumping isn't required to get within face-licking range.) I've even been able to keep Brindle under control so well that I could give brief dog lessons to the kids, teaching them general demeanor cues to the ones scared my pup wanted to hurt them so they know how a dog looks when he's angry and when he's happy, and let the younger ones that run up and immediately try petting know that's a bad idea unless the owner says it's okay.
So, to recap the pluses for why you should get this harness if you've got a big dog that forgets all decorum when people are around:
1) Keeps him/her from pulling you down a dangerous flight of stairs. Even been able to go down safely in rain, snow, and ice conditions.
2) Keeps dog under control and out of trouble (i.e. dog fights, running into street, ect.)
3) Protects other people and animals from your pet's exuberance
4) Well made, tough, hasn't ripped or had any damage at all in over a year's worth of walkings
5) Most importantly, you can correct your pet and pull him back to you without choking or hurting him with this harness.
The bad, because you need to know:
1) The dog CAN still pull in this, and like all harnesses, they can put a lot more of their weight and strength behind a harness, though this one does cut down a bit due to it's design that causes their legs to cross and turn them. I have been able to hold him back when he was pulling as hard as he could, from a sitting position without being moved an inch.
2) If you have a retractable leash and something catches your pup's attention, when they bolt, even if you hit the button, you're still going to get jerked a couple steps, and if you don't have a good grip on the leash, there goes your dog.
3) In a situation like above, should they get going fast enough to jerk you, when you hit the button or pull back on the leash, rather than a gentle turn around, the dog will get jerked around, fly in the air a bit, and kind of do an involuntary back-flip. My pup's never been hurt by this, (at least nothing worse than his ego,) but it might be frightening for people not used to seeing this. I still highly recommend checking your dog out, however, when this happens just to be safe, especially if he vaulted on something other than soft grass, like gravel or pavement.
4) The front of the harness needs to be checked regularly. As I said, they can pull in this if they really want what they were going after, and it causes the front to loosen periodically, making it easy for the dog to step out of the harness without meaning to. For their safety, as well as all animals' and people's in the vicinity, you need to check and re-adjust every so often, so there's no accidental slip-outs and escapes.
I really do recommend this harness for anyone with an excitable dog if they are prone to bolting, even just to greet people, no matter how great their manners might be otherwise. It will save you a lot of heartache and just aches in general to both of you.
Oh, and for anyone who needs a bit of help figuring this thing out, snap the clasp that isn't the grey on the black version, or dark red on the red version. Slip that over the dog's head with the ring for attaching the leash facing you, and the different colored part facing down. Then just snap the remaining clasp across the dog's chest, behind their front legs. when you take it off, just undo the different colored part and slip the harness off, leaving the other clasp fastened. Makes it much easier, and the whole put-on/take-off only takes a couple seconds, which for a squirming dog can mean the difference between accident or no accident.
Hope this helped.
