sheena Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I have one of these for my guy, as it is the ONLY one I could get that he couldn't slip out of in the car Webmaster by Ruff Wear but I walk him in a Freedom No Pull fully adjustable, very comfortable (padded) & you can either attach your lead at the front or the back or both for extra control. My girl has a Comfortflex, which she readily sticks her head in. It fits her well, but the chest strap isn't adjustable. What do you think of the Freedom No Pull, Sheena? Was your dog very strong at pulling on lead or only moderately annoying? :) I bought it because he grew out of his SenSible one, & also bought the double ended lead to go with it. But he doesn't need it any more because he doesn't or very rarely pulls. I think if he was still a puller (& he used to be very strong), it would be good because of the double lead. But I walk him in it anyway because he is very good at slipping his collar, even the ones that arn't supposed to slip...he just has a very good technique :laugh: & is so quick. It is a very nice comfortable harness & is very adjustable, though I think I could have gone a size smaller. It's no good to use as a car harness though, as he gets it off somehow. For the car, I have had to go to the Ruff Wear as it has a strap that goes around his waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajirin Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I currently use the Ezydog Quick fit harness [chest strap, not plate] on my Boxer. He wears that in the car as well, I put the seat belt though the handle at the top [where the leash ring is]. But do have my eye on the Ezydog Convert harness [which looks like a better design].

westiemum Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I use them on two of my dogs. Puppia on the SBT and Rogz on the shar pei. I am another who recommends you go to an outlet that sells a range of brands so you can try them on your dog so you get the right fit. You want the harness to be comfortable as well as secure. Even though my dogs are similarly sized they are not the same shape so even adjusting the straps they can't wear each other's harnesses comfortably. Yep thats right LG - I have one westie in a small EzyDog Quick-fit and the other two are both in mediums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle wrangler Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'd definitely want to try one on the Boxer- they're lean, but with deep chests. I save same problem with standard poodle- deep chest means some harnesses really poor fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainy Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I like this one best from accident POV has a very good crash test rating http://thewolfsden.com.au/shop/bergan-auto-harness/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieDog Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 For walking I use a Red Dingo on my dogs, a Heeler and Lab X. I do have a webmaster but found it always slipped to the side, no matter how tight or loose it was. Maybe it's because of the shape of my heeler.

Poodle wrangler Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just got one of these for car and walking: http://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/purina_pet_life_car_and_walking_harness_for_dogs?gclid=CPng14uq078CFVGVvQodhgUAGA&gdftrk=gdfV25674_a_7c2113_a_7c7895_a_7c41011#.U8tqifna6m4 $20 in store. Basic, but looks comfortable and does the job. Size L fitted my 11 months standard poodle (deep chest like a boxer) with a little room to grow as well.

westiemum Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 You know I've just been thinking - the Ezydog Convert looks much more supportive than the quick fits - and as Mr Mac gets slower and more disabled gradually over time I'm thinking it might be a good intermediary harness for him - before I need to consider a 'Help 'Em Up' harness if he loses the use of his back legs as part of his disease (GOLPP). What do you think??? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaCC Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Go try the Ezydog Converts on at a pet store first! They are great, but they didn't quite fit Nova properly and that's why we went with the Julius K9 IDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westiemum Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thanks Lisa and Denali - good idea - will fly into Petstock on the way home tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 And I've just had a look at the Julius K9 online too - superb looking harness as well. But will look at the Convert first simply because it's on special at present - and dollars are tight with the building project. Then if it doesn't fit I'll look at the Julius K9. Thanks all.
