Red Fox Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm looking for a Y-front harness that will not restrict movement, but also have a front attach point. I don't want anything that will rub the coat too much or rub under the armpits, nothing too bulky, also don't want a 'no-pull' type. Needs to fit a larger dog but does not need to be particularly strong as it's just for running on the treadmill. Anyone know of a harness that will suit or someone who could make something? Alternatively I'm wondering if it's possible to attach a leash to the front ring on a Lupine or Rogz H-style harness, which would otherwise suit? (Don't have one here to try at the moment). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Fox Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ruffwear Front Attach Harness Experiences or reviews? Decent harness but I would prefer something lighter/less coverage if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ish Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I think you'd be able to attach a lead to any Y front or H harness because they'd all need to have a ring to join the neck straps to the belly straps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yonjuro Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) The only one I can think of that will suit is the Non-Stop Dogwear line harness http://www.non-stopdogwear.no/index.php/engï¿ÂÂ%C2%BDï¿ÂÂ%C2%BD/Our-products/Harnesses http://non-stopdogwear.co.uk/padded-half-harness-138-p.asp Something from Manmat may also be suitable http://www.manmat.cz/en/products-dog-harnesses-62 Both make high quality gear and both are available in Australia.

persephone Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Any reason you can't just use a collar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleo's Corgwyn Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 We sell the Freedom No Pull Harness at my dog club, and have found it seems to be very comfortable for dogs. It has a rear attachment, which is a martingale style, and a front attachment clip as well. There seem to be a few online stockists in Australia. They also seem to be adjustable to fit a wide range of body types. I regularly fit them for my classes, when people want harnesses, and I haven't found anything I like as much for my own dogs.

Red Fox Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Any reason you can't just use a collar? Because any tension on a collar comes at an awkward angle if there is a leash attached and I'd prefer to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Fox Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Blackdog harness? Actually, the y-front with an extra d-ring would probably work quite well for what I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivory & Beau Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Ezy Walk Harness I've used this in the past and really loved it. Doesn't go under their armpits either and had no rubbing on a long or short coat dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
