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

Ok, great!  Thank you!

Just remember that the harness is a temporary fix and actual training will take care of the pulling.

Great reminder and very understandable. Enzo is in puppy classes now and we work on manners and walking all the time in our yard. Just looking for something to make life a bit easier in the walking stage. She does seem to be a puller and wanted to get a handle on it, before she got any larger and accustomed to pulling me along.
UPDATE: well, not much of one. I ended up ordering a medium for her. After having the aerobic workout of my life, got it fitted. Have to say, I was expecting the equivalent of a Chinese Master Brain Teaser puzzle. : p, but that was the easy part. Enzo and I just did not see eye to eye on the fitting of the thing. In the end, it it just a tad to big...hangs down around her chest, so, I figure another 2 weeks or so and it will fit properly. In the meantime, we practice, practice, practice.

I purchased the Easy Walk Harness last weekend and it is making walking much easier. It does sort of help to move Belle along, and it's a relief to not have to worry about choking. I purchased the small (she is about 11 or 12 lbs), and there is room the grow. The small/medium was too big. I'm still having a difficult time getting Belle to sit still long enough to buckle the black buckle underneath. If I fumble too long (which generally happens) she chews on my arm and it hurts! Getting it off is much faster though so I don't have any problem there. It's still worth it, as I'm really trying hard to get Belle to go on longer walks. Each day I try to go a little further.

I just got one this week end for Violet.. much better then the pinch collar.. no choking when she sees people and dogs and want to visit them .....we try all things and what works for us is great!

 

We just bought  ours and I love it , we got the girl at the pet store to let us try the harness on our pup . love it as it makes our walks more enjoyable

Thanks for the replies!  We've been away all week ( in Hawaii....whooohooo!) and I plan on trying for the fit again, this afternoon.  She is waaaay too excitable right now, since coming home from being boarded.  My baby grew sooo much in just the week we were gone!

Sometimes these things are a two person job. One can hold her and feed her treats (which will hopefully keep her calm), while the other one does the fitting. That system works for us for many things - ear drops, brushing etc. 

Hope Hawaii was awesome! It's on my bucket list.

First: Hawaii was AWESOME.  Our second time and I am more than sure there will be a third!  This time the Big Island....very different with all the lava flows, but loved it!

 The harness:  OMG!  Since I had sized it the first time we tried it on ( and it was too big), the task wasn't all that difficult this time.  She appeared not too even know it was on.  Went for a walk and it was FANTASTIC!  Well worth the money and time invested!   We laughed...we were home for awhile and she needed out again.  Attached her leash to her collar this time....and she didn't pull!!!!!!!!!!  Not sure what that was all about, but, I'm not complaining! ;)

 We love the  easy walk harness , we just got them last week and WOW what a difference it is making . We have gone to puppy training and constantly trying to walk our pup . She is a demon trying to walk most days and we were not enjoying walking our dog .So far  both dogs are doing great with them . I keep thinking I have some body elses dogs and not mine .lol .

We have been using the harness for about a week now. What a great investment! Enzo appears to be oblivious to the fact she is wearing anything different. She allows us to put it without being all squirmy.. She strolls along side of us with nary a pull! Love, love, love this harness!
