BEST DESIGN!
I have a wonderful pit, who is gentle in every way EXCEPT she PULLS soooo hard on walks! I'm in my 60s and have a bit of arthritis but I love walking my dog. However, the first 20min or more is a completely unenjoyable pulling contest. She chokes terribly with a regular flat collar. I have tried prong collars, plastic 'tooth' collars, head collars that scrunched into her eyes, harnesses with top rings that just gave her more pulling power and front rings that simple pulled the harness to one side, nearly tripping her. Nothing fazed her, nor helped me much. I watched & tried training videos and even a 6-week class. I give quick sharp pulls, put her in a sit-stay every 2 minutes, and its a constant fight. I was about to give up when I searched 'no-pull harnesses' on Amazon - and saw this one. The video by the two men who weren't from the company convinced me to order it - even so, I was convinced I just put 40 bucks down the drain. Well the harness, AND leash, came today - and boy was I surprised!! The quality of the product is amazing it is incredibly well-made - and designed!! Strong. Durable and beautiful materials and construction. Soft cushioned velvet straps that won't chafe under her legs. It was easy to custom fit to the dog, and once everything was adjusted to her it was super-easy to slip it on & buckle it up. BEST of all is the design of the leash that works with BOTH the front AND top leash-rings. I thought the harness would just pull to the side like others I tried - nope. The leash makes it work as a unit. And BETTER than ALL of that is that - it WORKS. My dog was comfortable. No choking - she can keep her trachea! And pulling is EASILY and QUICKLY corrected. Sure - training yourself to handle your dog is optimal, but this tool is a game-changer that improves walking immediately and makes walking a dog a nice experience again! I am grateful to the designers of this product.

Works great, glad we got it!
It's been only a few days, maybe 3-4, since we started using this and it has made a big difference! My dog is medium size (got him M) who is a very strong puller.Good points:1.) No more hurting for my dog - I was already afraid his throat was hurting a lot when he pulls and pulls on a regular leash attached to his collar, usually when there's another dog in sight that he'd cough and choke after. But he would not stop pulling! The harness removed all that force from his neck. The force of his pull has also lessened. There was one time I was getting a doggy poop bag out to scoop his poop when another dog came in sight and he just bolted after him. I was not ready and really, I thought he could have pulled my arm off my socket. Since then, another off-leash dog has snuck up on us, he was already in this harness, and thank goodness, the pull was not as strong.2.) No more hurting for me - The old leash I was using also grazed open my skin when he yanked it. That was not a fun night. It's not a problem with this leash, it has smooth soft materials. Although, I have to say, I've also been more careful about wearing a glove most of the time ever since that first incident. That said, I have used this without a glove when my dog pulled and so far, no damage on my skin.3.) Less pulling force - I am ready to say, this front pull thing works. After looking at reviews of a couple of brands I decided on Freedom, so this is our first no-pull dog harness. With it, my dog's yanking and pulling does not feel as strong anymore (but if he decides to stand still like a statue when something afar is of interest to him, I still cannot move him. And I will not yank him either, I'm following training guides that says it's better to entice him to follow you of his own accord).4.) The quality of the materials are good - I also bought my dog a long leash for playing and training at a local pet shop. I was disappointed that the metal clip (clasp?) was not very big. I didn't have any problems with it so far, but for a long leash, I'd imagine a sturdier metal clip. I was afraid of getting the same with this order, but nope, this harness came with a nice big, solid looking metal clip so I'm really happy with it.5.) Pretty colors - I ordered Teal with a silver leash and I love the colors! The teal harness also perfectly matches the collar I ordered from a different supplier which is another plus for me.There are only two things I can say that may be a concern, but I don't think are real hindrances:1. It needs to go over the head: head, mouth, dog = might be a problem. Unless you train your dog to like it, it's not always fun to have something go over a dog's head. My dog thinks it's playtime and the leash is for chewing or tug of war. He is trained to sit when I put on the harness or leash so this only happens when he is in an extra playful mood. There are free training videos out there on how to put harness or anything over your dog's head/mouth, so it's really not too bad, just takes a little getting used to. And since we've had a few days of using this, it now takes just a few seconds to put it on.2. It's heavier - When I hold it, I feel like I'm putting it on a horse (nope, never had a horse!), only because it feels heavier than a regular leash. However, considering the materials, it's a very small thing and not a real problem or concern. I do think I should have ordered a medium 5/8 for my dog instead of the 1" but it's still good. My dog might still grow into it. The M is a little too big for my dog too (37 pds with 25" girth), even after adjusting it's still a teeny bit loose, but it does not also seem to be a problem.July 11, 2017 UPDATE:We still love this harness, but we just needed to update the review and reduce it to four stars (because we did expect it to last longer). It's been five months and we've been using it everyday since. It started to pull apart about a month ago on two spots as you can see in the picture. Need to get a new one now.Oct 18, 2017 UPDATE:Back to five stars. Read through the product policy again and saw tha they have a lifetime warranty. You just pay for shipping and they repair it for you. I have since sent my dog-damaged harnessed and received it like it's brand new! So yes, we love this harness!

Comfy and sturdy harness
So far works well. Easy to place on our big dog. Easy to control the dog. The materials are soft and don't cause any issues to skin or fog's fur

Good product
Works very well took a few minutes to get out 6 month old Bernese/Newfound power house to get use to it but after that worked perfectly much better control. Worked wonders.

Fits well on my hound mix who pulls ALOT
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.

This is awesome indeed, easy to use
A true difference. My Shepherd mix loves it. He looks so handsome too. Plus it really helps with the pulling. The Halti was a joke , he simply removed it off his nose, the collar was not gentle enough. This is awesome indeed, easy to use, works, the dog loves it. I got size large for a king shepherd husky mix, plenty of room left. I’m glad I didn’t go for the xl , it would have beeen too big. Highly recommended !

Dog Walking Just became a joy!
We have a 3.5-year-old male Labrador who weighs 38.5 kilos (85lbs) and has the strength of a small car. Because of his naturally inquisitive nature, he needs to get everywhere at lightning speed which means whenever I take him out, he constantly pulls on his lead (yeah, I'm a Brit) and by the time we get home, my arms were always aching with the strain. We've tried quite a few different harnesses/restraints over the years and all to no avail.This one turned up yesterday after we returned from another torturous walk (for me) so today was the first attempt. I confess that after having read the positive reviews for this harness, I remained sceptical, however comforted by the fact that I could return it when I proved it didn't work. The harness is available in several different colours to suit the owner’s choice or match with the dog’s coat. I was concerned that the harness and lead would be somewhat flimsy, but they are extremely well made and very strong.We went out on our usual walk in the countryside and I am honestly amazed by the transformation!!Initially, there was no pulling at all until he got used to the harness. Any pulling after that was quickly corrected by a slight (and I mean slight) tug on his lead or by me simply stopping. I kept him on the double lead until we left the village where we live then had him on the single lead attached to the top of the harness for the rest of the walk.I can honestly say that today was the first time in 3.5 years that I thoroughly enjoyed taking the dog out for a walk. No more aching arms for me but more importantly, no more choking noises from my dog which I always found distressing.
