2 Hounds Design Freedom No Pull Dog Harness, Adjustable Harness and Leash Set, 1" MD, Red

We have 2 dogs. A 4 yr old Siberian Husky and a 10 yr old Chow/GSD mix. I read about this harness and thought I would give it a try. My Husky is the worst, although both of them always seem to be on a mission when we walk out of the door and even though we are going nowhere specific, they can't get where we are going fast enough. They are in such a rush and super excited, that it makes the walks not so pleasant. Neither of them have aggression issues. I decided to try it out on my Husky first. Husky = Sled Dog = Pulling! It's in their blood --- that's what they are bred for, but out of safety reasons, I think they should also learn how to walk nice. Years ago, I tried the easy walk dog harness. Worked a little on my Chow, but didn't work at all for my husky. So I was a bit skeptical about this one. The easy walk harness still allowed our husky to pull sideways, and I never got it to fit right. The front would always loosen up after a few pulls and hang down and there was no security after it got loose everywhere, it also did not really turn them around, there was little to no control. Up until yesterday, the only way to walk the husky safely was with a prong collar. And I hated that thing, and I am sure she hated it too! So the harness arrived yesterday. She has a 27" girth and I got the L and it fits perfect. Sizing was easy. Putting it on was easy as well. And wow........... it looks really nice!!!! I got her the raspberry. Very pretty!!! Very sturdy material and hooks. So first impression was very good! So we just walked outside for a minute for a quick test. The neighbor was out with his dog and my girl did not pull to get there. I was still not convinced though, could be a coincidence :D. So a little later we were ready to go for a real walk. Did she pull? Yes she did! Not as strong as in a regular collar, but there was pulling. So what did I do? Each time she pulled I turned around and walked a few steps in the opposite direction. The harness helped turning her around to follow me. Then we turned around again and kept going in the previous direction. She pulled again, I turned around walked a few steps in the opposite direction, she followed, we turned back to keep going. Now we had to do that (I didn't count) probably about 20-30 times on the first part of our walk. She seemed a bit confused about what was going on, but she had a smile on her face and happily let me guide her. After about 20 minutes I think she had it all figured out! Pulling makes her turn around and further away from where she wants to go. Let me mention that she is an extremely independent and stubborn dog!!!! (Most husky's are and I know there are some other stubborn, hard to train dog breeds as well) For her, catching on within about 20 minutes was AMAZING, not that she is dumb, but she usually tries to get things her way!!!! I tried the turn around technique so many times with many different collars and harness and it never worked with my husky!!! If I switched direction she just started pulling in the other direction and we got no where.... I constantly just walked in a circle getting pulled over and over again and going nowhere! I don't know if it is this harness or just because she is getting older and out of the crazy puppy stage. But she can still be pretty crazy. I could not believe how nice and relaxing our walk home was. I constantly repeated myself telling her what a good girl she was and how proud I am of her and she just trotted next to me with a smile, probably thinking "Lady - shut up already" :D :D There were a few minor hick ups on the way back when she smelled something in a bush and she wanted to go check it out, but it was easy to correct her and over all it was pure awesomeness!!! I just had to pull on the leash a bit and she relaxed, turning around and walking in the opposite direction was not necessary. This is not a magic tool, you can't expect it to magically stop your dog from pulling. I would suggest to do what I did and walk in the other direction when they pull. You will have to be quicker than your dog and convince them that pulling doesn't work, before they figure out that they can still pull by shifting their body weight a certain way. So just start turning the other direction right away if they pull. I also don't know if this is the right solution if you have a dog with aggression issues. Its definitely sturdy though. I am pretty sure that I will have to practice a few more times on the next few times. I am sure she forgets what she learned :D, but I am convinced that all our walks will be nice and relaxed in the future. I will order another one for my chow mix now. He has a 37" girth and I was a little confused when I looked at the size charts. Sometimes the sizes say XL: 30-38" and sometimes it says XL: 30-36". When I received my L harness it had a tag and a pamphlet with a size chart. The tag said 30-36" and the pamphlet said 30-38". So I contacted the seller and she talked to a representative and they confirmed that they changed the sizes and the XL is now 30-36". I will also upload a picture of the updated size chart from 2 hounds design.

I've tried everything... and I mean everything. I adopted a 10-month-old German Shepherd a few weeks ago. Within just a few hours of bringing him home, it became very apparent that he has had zero training his whole life and no manners what so ever. This can be extremely dangerous with a 62lb mouthy, hyper, giant shepherd puppy that doesn't know how to walk on a leash without jerking arms off and stubbornly does what he wants when he wants. Even after three private training sessions focusing on the leash manners, his leash manners were lacking because he is stubborn and wants to do what he wants even though he learns extremely quickly in just a few repetitions. I've bought three other no-pull harnesses and they did little to nothing. He is underweight and still built like a puppy so his chest is narrow but very deep. None of the harnesses I attempted would fit him properly. So, with the advice of my Vet and the trainer, I tried the Halti headcollar which caused a massive temper tantrum and scene in Petsmart after his last training session. He will wear it but as soon as you want to lead him with it, he loses it. This was the fourth no pull training harness I bought and it was my hail mary. This is the first harness that has more ways of adjusting so that it fit him perfectly and is extremely comfortable for him to wear. His pulling is much improved. He still fights the harness but at least I haven't hurt my shoulder again attempting to walk him. This harness is fantastic, especially if you have a hard time finding one that will fit. It does work really well and Ripley is learning with each walk to not pull with the aid of it. So, kudos on that. My body is eternally grateful. The harness itself is very well made and durable. It is heavy-duty material with very good stitching. I have been using it daily for a while now without seeing any signs of wear even when he tries to play with it. They do offer a warranty should the harness be chewed up by your dog and will replace parts of it for the cost of shipping. I think this is a nice bonus. However, the training leash that is included in the bundle, while just as well made and just as heavy-duty, did not fare as well. Ripley managed to chew it apart and now I have to order another. All in all, I gave it four stars overall only because of the leash succumbing to chewing. The harness is definitely worth five stars for its comfort, sturdiness, and durability. I just couldn't give it five overall because I paid extra for the training leash bundle and got to use it twice before it ended up in pieces in the trash. tl:dr: I would definitely recommend this harness to anyone, even if their dog doesn't pull with the caveat of: do a better job hiding the leash than I did. It won't survive om nom nom noming on it.

The Freedom No Pull Harness is the best of the available harness devices for dogs. I bought one for my 14 year old Lab/pointer cross, when we discovered he has some small cervical compression fractures, and also strained his neck while rough-housing with the "Big Guy" (see below, 90 pound Lab.) This has been a dream come true for him in his old age, taking all of the strain and pull of a leash on his poor old neck, and placing it squarely on his chest and torso where he is clearly more comfortable with it. The vet recommended this, and it's worked like a charm for increased comfort. I bought a large for my new-to-me 90 pound adult chocolate Lab. It fit perfectly (pay attention to the sizing charts- they're very accurate,) and the difference was noticeable the first time out. I had increased control immediately. Being the dog that he is, however, he has "adjusted" to the harness, and now pulls as much as always. Clearly more training is needed, and this is on me. The biggest advantages to this particular harness are the increased control over the dog (when he starts to go insane, forgets I'm on the other end of the leash and could be harmed by his behavior/action, and attempts to lunge into traffic, or at any man on a bicycle, or the neighbor's Boxer dog.) I have a little bit of an edge with this harness. I recommend the training package, with the funny leash that hooks to the chest and the back- this seems to make a difference giving increased control when used as indicated in the picture. Also, I don't wince at the sound of him compressing his own trachea, or windpipe, when he is straining against the leash on a regular collar. I would comfort myself with the idea that it was a self limiting problem in that if he cut off his own air supply entirely he would at least stop pulling ;) But with the harness I also don't worry about him injuring his trachea or cervical soft tissue, and costing me yet more at the vet, and himself the misery of injury. The harness is a winner on this count- more comfortable for him, and anatomically appropriate and safe. The other big selling point was my Amazon purchase came with one free repair, for the cost of postage. This seemed like a red flag at first (why would I need repair service?) But now that we're on our THIRD of these harnesses, I understand- If I put this harness on my dog more than 15 in advance of our walk, and leave him unsupervised, he chews clean through it rendering it useless. When I bought these harnesses direct from the inventor's website, they charge for the repair warranty unless you buy a sort of "extended" warranty at the time of initial purchase. When I buy from Amazon (exact same product) the seller offers to repair once at no cost to me, save postage. This is a HUGE bonus, and I recommend buying from Amazon for this reason. I bought my original 2 harnesses direct from Freedomnopullharness.com, and threw the first one out after he chewed through it. I have the second one he chewed through, and will be asking about the cost to repair the severed piece. Basically, I found this the best of all harnesses (and I've bought a bunch of different kinds in my quest for the ideal,) and my last ditch effort before using the Gentle Leader head harness (Which I may still try...)

Love this harness. My dog never learned to walk on a leash, as we lived on a dirt road for 5 years. Now that we have moved, she needed a leash and was a 66 pound puller extreme. When she pulled my shoulder so hard that it took days to heal, I ordered this harness. What a difference! I used the front and back attachment, and the pulling stopped. She walked like a champ. This is a great product. I love how soft the harness is on her chest. The large was perfect for her 22 inch chest. It was so easy to put on. It is durable, comfortable and it fits great.

The harness is decent but not perfect. It does help reduce pulling somewhat and works okay for basic walks. However if your dog is really strong it does not make a huge difference and they can still pull quite a bit. The sizing is also a bit confusing. The medium felt too big while the small was definitely too tight and not ideal for in between sized dogs. Overall it kind of works but may take some trial and error to get the right fit

I am transitioning from balanced training to positive reinforcement training for my recently rescued year and a half old 90lb German Shepard mix. I was previously using a slip lead because I cannot stand harnesses and didn’t feel I could wak him safely in one. I tried the Halti no pull harness and it sucked. It basically attaches to the dogs collar in the front and has no martingale loop in the back. I started working with a professional trainer who highly recommended the freedom harness and still had my doubts. I figured even with normal use my dog was too big for a plain nylon harness and it would wear out quickly. When I unboxed it, I could tell it was clearly high quality and well made. I didn’t have any inclination it might break on me. I put it on my dog and realized I should probably size up from a L to an XL. The L fit but was totally maxed out and he is still growing and filling out. The XL fits perfectly and had more room to adjust but not too much. The velvet is also a nice upgrade due to the fact that the stomach strap sits behind the elbows. We went on our first test outing with the double leash and it was great! My dog already has some leash training and doesn’t pull too bad unless he sees a trigger like another dog and gets too excited. He does get a little distracted and, unlike other harnesses, this leash/ harness combo allows me to direct him subtly, maintaining positive methods and not having to use corrections but also teaching him what leash pressure means and redirect him accordingly. He responded to the tightening of the martingale loop when he did start to pull and our previous training helped him redirect right back to me when that did happen. I really am a fan of the leash as much as I am of the harness. It is a simple idea really, that the handle is free floating and adjusts to the angle you are holding it at. This is a huge upgrade from the matching halti lead I was using with the halti harness. That one didn’t have a handle at all. You could probably get any double ended leash and attach a traffic handle but this one just moves so easily that it seems more efficient this way. It is just the right length for me and my tall dog. I prefer about a four foot length and I feel that when this is bucked to the front and back of the harness it comes out to about that. My dogs big head fits in between the two straps and I can easily switch sides without the leash becoming tangled. I am definitely now pro- harness and can easily manage my 90 lb reactive teenage dog as a 130 lb 5’3 woman and still maintain the positive methods. I love that they have so many different colors because I am kindof a leash snob and love that the tan matches my dog. I kindof wish they made a leather or biothane version for added boujee- ness and use in wet environments. My dog is accustomed to being leashed and doesn’t attempt to chew. Although this set is sturdy I obviously would not say this is at all chew proof because it is just nylon so if you have a dog that chews you will want to use supervision.

5 months in, best harness on the market. My dog seems to like it, she was a strong puller. I bought a bunch of them. It's a little tricky to figure out which way is up for the straps, but I put a sticker on it to know which way is up.

Great, compact harness. Not bulky but has strength and durability. Also because there is minimum material it doesn’t get wet or dirty and if it does it dries quickly. Doesn’t impede movement and is very light weight.

Excelente material, resistente, muy cómodo para mi perro 🐶

dies ist bereits das 2. Geschirr das wir für unsere Hiunde angeschafft haben und sind voll zufrieden. Das Anlegen ist kein so gefummel wie bei voelen anderen.

My dog was an extreme puller. Like I thought I was going to have wrist injuries. Since he is a hound mix, he has the belly size of a lab but a much smaller neck circumference, which made it difficult to find harness that fit him properly and stayed more or less put when he got exctied and pulled. This harness fits him very well. I like the front ring option because it does reduce pulling and the ring sits high enough on the fit that it doesn't cause the leash to get caught up in his front legs too much. I like the martingale ring in the back as well for times when he's not pulling so much because it's very easy for him not to get tangled, even as he runs from side to side. The harness is very easy to clean and is the first one I've found that fits well and doesn't cause my dog's delicate hound belly skin to get super red and chaffy. I did not find the two- carabiner leash to be as helpful as I thought it would be for reducing pulling. It seemed like the carabiner on the back ring was doing more work when he pulled, so I prefer to use a regular and trustworthy strong leash with the just the front ring.

My doggo likes to pull so much so that I dislike walking him. Was recommended this 2 hound no pull harness and leash by an animal volunteer person and never look back since. Although my doggo still pulls but is very manageable. Thanks for the great product. Highly recommend.
