My dog no longer pulls like a team of sled dogs!
EzyDog Chest Plate Harness, Size Large in Black, for a 68 pound male German Shepherd.
I had read the comments of another reviewer saying her dog can now be controlled since using this harness. I wholeheartedly agree!
My 68 pound German Shepherd would exhaust me during our walks using either a regular collar or a Martingale collar. My husband kept pushing to purchase a prong collar in an effort to control our boy, but I refused to put one on him (he's 18 months old and a gentle giant). I could only imagine how those metal spikes must feel digging into my own neck let alone my furry friend. I know there are a lot of believers in the prong collar approach, I'm just not one of them.
The large EzyDog Chest Plate Harness fits perfectly (mine is black). I keep the front loop that goes over his head snapped, so all I have to do is slip it over his head and have him lift his right leg through the right loop behind the chest plate(easily done and he's almost...
AWESOME harness
I bought an XL for my German Shepherd (85 lbs) and a LG for my Rhodesian Ridgeback (76 lbs), both have sensitive skin. This harness is soft and has enough padding and comfort that it doesn't irritate their skin at all. Being that my dogs are also male and are very active I love the sporty look of this harness. The padding of the chest plate on it is also soft enough and can be molded to fit your dog's chest as well. There's also a lot of room when you undo the buckles which made me happy because my GSD is a BIG bog and he's nowhere done growing yet so buying something that he can grow into is what I was looking for. The fact that it also reflects in the dark is an awesome bonus seeing that we sometimes walk our dogs at night. And I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about it touching the dog's genital parts because that's absolutely ridiculous and false. The harness doesnt fit anywhere close to the dog's genitals. My guess is that the reviewer was trying to be funny or...
Good product; Bad Marketing
As a trainer I try to experience as many different products because no one product is right for all dogs. This harness is a very good harness for walking a dog that is fairly well trained to walk loose-leash. I wouldn't recommend it for a hard-pulling, untrained dog. For those a well-fitted head collar or a harness on which the leash attaches to a ring on the chest rather than on the back is best.
This company just doesn't get it, though. They don't package any instructions or illustrations that give the owner instructions on how to properly fit the harness. It isn't terribly difficult to figure out, especially if you are a trainer who understands what it takes to control a dog. But, someone who doesn't have that type of education or experience might not understand which straps should be adjusted a little tighter or looser than other straps. They might not understand that it is best not to leave a harness on a dog all day.
The harness, itself, seems to be well...
