Anyone using one? Pros...are there any cons? And what size did you start out with? Enzo is 15 weeks and 20 lbs.

Enzo is pretty easy going, so I'm hoping she adjusts well and quickly. I guess time will tell! ;)
We use one for Penny. I think they are easier to get used to than the Gentle Leads particularly for puppies. We started with the small/medium & have moved to the large. She walks very nicely on the Easy Walk & it is easy to put on. I highly recommend.
Thanks so much for the reply! Looks like we are off to Petco tomorrow!

We love ours too. We started with a small at 9 weeks and once he maxed that one out we went to a medium. He's 5 months and 40 lbs in the medium with room to grow.

Good to know! Sounds like we can get some mileage out of a medium. I think I saw sizes sm/ med.

I LOVE ours! And it is much easier and better liked than the Halti (just like the Gentle Leader). My pup is now 9 mos. & 50 lbs. and we've got a large- opposite of Melissa and Ernest-- on almost the smallest setting ;)

It has totally stopped his pulling! Only negative is that he matts where the harness touches him....

This is actually my 2nd one because I let Holmes wear the first one a little bit longer before heading out and he chewed it off! It was cheaper to get on Amazon than the pet store too.

Funny you should say this...just got finished ordering it off Amazon! Saw it was a few bucks cheaper and free shipping with Amazon Prime. Love all the positive comments! AND love Holmes name and pic!
Can't help you with size - Josie is only 10.5 lbs at 5,5 mos. but she wears the small. It definitely helps with pulling. It also attaches at the chest rather than the neck which is much better for a pulling dog. No choking. No risk of collapsed trachea later. The only con is that they wear out and/or get chewed :(

I cannot be without it and have already bought three. (One always in the cabinet, just in case). The larger ones have wider straps and will probably last longer.
Great info! Thanks! Hmmmmm...maybe I should have bought 2, One for back- up!

Oliver is about 15lbs right now, 18" around where they tell you to measure, and is wearing a size small.  It seems to be the right size for him.  He adapted to it quickly, and we spent time practicing-walking in the backyard for a few days where he did well (although he scratched at it more than his collar).  He did try to pull on the harness outside, tumbled over and did a somersault, and then didn't pull again.  Sometimes you have to learn the hard way I guess :)

LOL...Enzo is the Queen of somersaulting! I swear she does it on purpose! This harness will prove to be interesting! ;)

I started my puppy on the small size when he was 3 months old, he took to it well and I was able to walk him easily, I had to switch to small medium and than to the large as he is now 18 months and 70 pounds. Last month I had him in the harness and was delayed on my walk and when ready to go saw he chewed part of it making it useless. I was googling easy walker to order another and saw the The Freedom No-Pull Harness so decided to buy it and the 2 point leash for extra control. I really love it even more than the easy walker and it has comfort padding. I'm not saying the easy walker isn't good it is but the freedom is even better. Just don't leave on any harness when your not watching your dog if they're chewers.
