Best harness for a broad chest dog

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2024

O I walked my 75lb Rednose Pitty for the first time, he was surrendered to me and i didn't know his background, he was not potty trained, nor leash trained, a little wild, but intelligent as hell. but the leash thing was nuts. I don't know what the former owners did to him with the leash but, he did not like it at all. I resolved he would relive himself in the backyard only, However intelligent dogs need their minds simulated, I refused to be defeated and bought a harness to control him. Because I have a lame leg after a medical episode. This harness is easy on easy off. My hand is lame also after having a stroke. Red is very strong, he pulled a little but no way as much as he had before. I am so pleased with this purchase. His name is Redman after the Rapper.

Won’t stay tight

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

This is my second purchase of this harness. The first one was for my 100 pound pit bull worked amazing this is my reason for this purchase. This one does not stay tight. But as opposed to my 50$ Kong harness it’s adequate to keep my 40 pound Carolina dog from taking off.

Excellent construction, good fit for Min Pin body type

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2016

Size: MediumColor: BlackVerified Purchase

I have a miniature pinscher mix who has a very difficult body type to fit- no neck, massive chest, and a straight sausage body. (pretty chubby)
Harnesses typically slide around on him, either twisting sideways, or pulling half over his head.

However, this harness works wonderfully. It sits a bit like something a horse would wear while drawing a carriage, and stays put. It's also comfortable- my dog was visibly happy when I first put it on, and every time after that.

The most impressive thing is the construction. It is incredibly durable feeling - the straps aren't slender and flimsy, and the body isn't thin and tearable. It looks like it will last for years.
There's also a handle on top. I don't need it for this dog, but for people with leash pullers and cat chasers, it seems very useful.
Additionally it is very easy to put on and take off - which is very nice for my older father, whose eyes aren't very good and has trouble with his hands.

I may order two more for my other larger dogs for this reason, if I can find the right size.
My min pin measured 26.5" behind the legs around his bulky chest. I ordered a medium and it barely fits, at the largest extension. Keep this in mind when ordering, and it's a 10/10 harness.

Easy To Put On - Sturdy Harness

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2015

Size: XLargeColor: RedVerified Purchase

We have two 75 pound senior dogs and their old harnesses were something out of my nightmares. Untangling each one took an engineering degree and then putting it on each animal was a test in both agility and patience. By the time the harnesses were on, we were ready to forgo the walk altogether, which sucked. As an extra special bonus the harnesses seemed to encourage our youngest to pull even harder on his leash. He runs about three to five miles every other day, so pulling was a constant battle. Finally, we switched to these HDP harnesses.

*The sizing was tricky. Both our dogs weigh the same, but one was an x-large and one was a large. Make sure to measure, because the size of your dog's belly and chest does matter.

*Putting these harnesses on and taking them off is a dream. Our older dog who has arthritis looked at us with appreciation because it took just two seconds to snap her in, instead of the three minutes with her old harness.

*The handle is so convenient. Even our vet commented on how slick it was when she was examining our youngest.

*The strap on the chest is not padded, but honestly it does not matter. There are no sharp edges and it is adjustable. We have not had any issues.

*The harness does not eliminate pulling, but it does help refocus their attention to their chest when they do start to pull harder. We are using it as tool along with verbal commands to slow down during our runs.

**We are also having a backpack custom made for our youngest to go along with the harness, so he can get the most out of his runs and carry more weight and we hope this will help with his urge to pull.

Love it! Fits perfectly!

I got this for my 56lb pit boxer mix and it works great. I love how it's designed, not like your typically harness designs that are made with narrow straps that become uncomfortable for your animal after a while. The love the handle in the top, I use it to redirect him whenever I need. It's makes it easy on me especially because I am a fairly small ,short girl and he us a very strong dog. It definitely helps me out and he seems very comfortable in it. The fit is also perfect as well. And as someone else stated there is no such thing as a no pull harness. No harness is going to magically do that, they have to be taught and directed to walk beside you, not to pull you. But yes ,overall great harness, no complaints.

*update* 2 years later and I absolutely still love this. It has worked out perfectly and is still in excellent condition. The medium fit just right and he has gained a little bit of weight since so I am ordering another one in a size large. But still overall very happy.

Finally a harness that fits my deep chested 35 lb dog!

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2017

Size: MediumColor: BlackVerified Purchase

My dog and I both absolutely love this harness. It's sturdy and fits her well, and while this isn't a no pull harness (there's no leverage against her if she pulls) she does seem far less inclined to pull or even jump when she's wearing it. That's why I got this...she was always pulling on her collar, and I was worried that would harm her in the long run.

The harness does tend to slip slightly to one side, and I have had some problem with the adjustments loosening up. However, I think that's more my dog than the harness. She's a pit mix, but only weighs 35 lbs. However, he chest is very deep and narrow for her size. 24" at her girth, but not a round chest, as I mentioned...very deep and vertical. I lost count of how many different styles and sizes of harnesses I tried with her that just flat out wouldn't work before I got this one. So if you have a similar fit problem with your dog, this harness just might work for you.

The size chart seems accurate. I bought both a medium and a large, and the medium is what fits her. I kept the large anyway, so I have a harness that's big enough to fit over her winter coats withought having to change the adjustments. Not entirely sure the medium would fit over her bulkier coats anyway.

Perfect for Bulldogs

After my dog backed out of his collar at the vet and ran in front of a car, I decided to buy this harness. It is perfect and he loves it. I love the handle on the back because it makes helping him into the car so much easier. I also feel like I have more control over him and can hold him back without hurting him. 10/10 highly recommend.
