Teutul is wearing the harness and his regular collar |
The Lapdogs have not had any formal obedience training and we're pretty laxed about things, so they all tend to be easily distracted and can sometimes be pullers. The Easy Walk Harness seemed like a great solution for Teutul, as it is designed to gently discourage dogs from pulling while walking on a leash. Instead of having the leash attachment on the back, the Easy Walk Harness features a front-chest attachment which stops pulling by tightening slightly across the dog's chest and shoulder blades. This gentle pressure steers the dog to the side, thus redirecting his attention back towards you.

It's a great concept, but Sis slips out of hers no matter what. She's been fitted twice by a retailer whom had been trained to fit EWHs, so we've had to switch to a conventional harness.
Hi Channon ~ You're welcome to call our customer service dept to help see if we can't get Sis to stay in her EWH :) 800-933-5595, or email webinquiry@premier.com and include some photos of the dog wearing the harness. The Easy Walk comes in "tweener" sizes so wondering if that might be what she needs.
Ooooh, Kool Dogz Ice Treats! Thor approves in advance! We have Thor in a pony harness, as you know. No formal training here, either; our boy minds pretty good.
I can't wait to see the Kool Dogz review! That looks perfect for the Newfs!!!
I've used this harness and I love it! Great item.
A book I read recently, "When Pigs Fly," recommended clipping the leash on the Easy Walk Harness and bring the loop on the collar to the front and clip the leash clasp through there too. That keeps wily dogs from squirming out and if the harness does fall off you are still hooked up to the dog's collar, keeping them safe.
what a great dog very pretty look i love dogz.
I really like the concept of the Easy Walk Harness , however, there is a design flaw which caused me to stop using it. The shoulder strap and the belly strap snap buckle connects in the right "armpit" of our 14 pound Cairn terrier. It caused irritation and eventually a sore spot. She is not a dog that pulls. This occurred during normal walking.
I took this concern to PetSmart, where we purchased it and was told in so many words, "too bad".
I wrote to Premier with the same information and never heard back from them.
I also loved the harness but not the placement of the buckle. The buckle is plastic and must be snapped absolutely perfectly to catch. Given the placement of the buckle and the wiggliness of my pup, this was nearly impossible. I didn't have to worry about it for ling though, because the first time it was left down, the pup chewed it up. Plastic... grr.
