Easy Walk Harness

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

Just bought one for our Zoe (19 weeks 28 lbs). So far so good - if she starts to pull, the design of the harness just makes her not want to, and the behavior seems to correct itself. We opted for that over the Gentle Leader since we didn't think she'd like anything on her face. We waffled between a medium and a large and went with the medium as it fit her better now. I did notice on the package that they make a Medium/Large size, but the store didn't carry it - although you may find that size online?

Thanks for your reply. We have been using the Easy Walk for about a month now, with great results. We ended up buying a medium, which was a tad too big for about a week or so. Fits her great now and she has lots of room to grow!

I really love this harness too! I purchased it as recommended by this group and it has really helped Belle walk with me. Our walks have been really enjoyable! We purchased a small, as the small/medium was too big on the smallest setting (Belle is a mini).

Yaaaaay! It looks like Enzo is just a week or two older than Belle. The harness has been a hit in our house too!

I am really glad to have this forum with so much great advice! At first I was a little concerned it would be difficult to put the harness on a squirmy puppy, but I have her sit and I give her a treat; while she's chewing I buckle the harness. Belle is 4 1/2 months. How old is Enzo?

Enzo will be 5 months tomorrow. Born on May 17. Fitting the harness the first time was " challenging" to say the least :p. Now she knows the harness means were going out and she stands for me to put it on. She barely even notices it's on.

Oh yes you're right, they are about 2 weeks apart. Belle was born June 1. Belle doesn't mind her harness either, and it definitely has made thing easier!

Zoe was born May 31st :-) We love love love this harness. After practicing a couple of times, I find it easy to slip on - and, yeah, she gets excited when I put it on her, unlike her other puppia harness. The only drawback i see with this design is having to rearrange the leash from side to side as we walk if she changes sides (we're still learning how to properly walk on a leash :-) Do you have this issue?

I can see your point, but.....Enzo has learned to walk on our left side. Nothing worse than walking with a dog crisis-crossing in front of you. Once that is learned, you will not have that issue.

Belle generally stays on one side for a while, so I haven't noticed a problem with having to rearrange the leash. We generally walk 2 or 3 times every day and I am noticing she is getting better at walking with me and willing/able to walk further then when she was younger. This harness was really a great purchase!

So I saw this product on doggyloot today, thought it was interesting. Hoping I won't need it, since my puppy is still a fetus! But bookmarked it none the less. But I wonder if this would compromise their hip joints in any way?
