Love it. 3 buckles + many points of adjustment + not having to slip a closed loop over this guy's head are the best features. An unexpected bonus is that the colored dorsal (back) strap is made of a webbing that is strong, but soft for less chance of a hand burn when using it as an emergency handle during a lunging episode. (If you have multiple nylon webbing leashes, you know the difference. They look alike, but some are perpetually stiff and just painful. This webbing is excellent.) And MADE IN THE USA? Wow. Worth a few extra dollars right there. And it's a quality harness.This collie dog is very long bodied and lean, but deep-chested and with a smallish neck, so most harnesses are far too loose near the head, too short on the back, and can chafe his armpits. The typical padded harness is also too fat between his front legs. I want a harness that clears the whole shoulder blade for free movement, but with clip options on both chest and back. I want a harness that can't be wriggled out of. I'd honestly prefer padded for most uses, but we also need a webbing harness for swimming and certain sports. Boy, this balance harness is terrific for all that.Yes, the dorsal (back) strap does slide around while walking, as mentioned by some reviewers, but that's expected for a harness that is not giving structure, but rather fitting a dog's moving body. The portion that goes around the neck needs to slide, too, right? And of course this does. Not a problem. For me, the sliding issue is just aesthetics you can get used to, and expected especially with a design that has one encirclement of the torso. A webbing harness is naturally going to provide a different experience than a more structured, somewhat stiff padded harness that brings its own architecture. Some readers will understand the imperfect analogy of a bralette versus padded underwire. Which is better? Preference.Having just the dorsal strap colored works for me. A flash of pretty, but much easier for me to work out what goes where. I'd be in a lot of trouble with just one color.One reviewer mentioned no instructions. I sympathize with anyone confused by buckles and straps, because I have great difficulty figuring such things out. But I thought the illustrated "Fitting Tips" tag that came attached to my harness to be super-helpful. Blue-9 also has a couple of very clear videos on their website and YouTube with titles like "How to Properly Fit Your Balance Harness." Worth checking out.Mr. Slinky Dog's favorite part? He says it's just terrific being kitted up for a walk without having to be brave and stick his head into a thing.

I've been eyeing this harness for a long while - when it finally went on sale I bought it in 2024 end of summer. I've been using it on and off since and the photos I added are recent.What can I say? I love this harness. it's very adjustable and moves with the dog, despite it sliding around sometimes I prefer to leave it a little loose as I use this when we're training on a long line, doing sport activities like hiking and love to use it for play time as well. I got this to add to my summer harness collection because of the zero restrictive movement and the fact that it's minimal fabric so it won't add to overheating!It's super comfy for short-haired dogs, I assume short haired and even hairless dogs will find comfort in the fabric. especially as a neurodivergent person texture bothers me easily at times. the quality is spectacular and everything has remained as durable and pristine as day one.I don't really use this for no-pull training, i'd say it'll be okay if your dog isn't lunging and just pulls. I'd rebuy this again for future dogs and even foster dogs if i can - it's a frequently used harness especially on days where i just wanna snap and go.Also I find it's a great bonus that this can be made a step in harness or wrap around harness if your dog is gear shy/head shy! many ways to clip it on!

In 2011 I met a trainer at a Pet Expo. My then pup (she has since passed) was around 7 years old, a full Jack Russell Terrier. I had adopted her earlier in the year. She couldn’t walk on a leash and could wiggle out of harnesses and collars. The trainer asked to use my pup instead of her own as the demo dog for a harness and lead presentation she was about to give. She had patented and created it. It was miraculous, she could immediately walk like a normal dog. She gave me the set and I bought one more during my pups life. I still have the one she had when I lost her in January 2020.End of of 2021 I was starting to think about getting another pup. I saw that she was going to stopMaking her harness and leash system. I emailed her to ask what size I had prior she told me it was a small medium. So I ordered one just in case I got a new dog. It sat until November 2022 in its package.In November I brought home a brand new Jack Russell puppy. I pulled it out and realized it was much smaller - she had sent me an XS! Two sizes smaller than what my first Jack wore. And sadly she no longer makes them and has none left.The puppy now fits just now in it, but I’ll need something comparable as she grows up. After a ton of research I came upon this one.So far this looks like a close match.This one is missing one clip that my other one has. Otherwise it seems to be very similar in style and has one more piece that’s adjustable versus my other one.Fingers crossed this is as great as the one I’ve been talking about and recommending to other dog owners for the past 12 years. That one is on and off in two seconds. I think this one will be similar. Some harnesses are difficult to figure out and hard to get on. This is just a couple clips. And if it’s anything like my other one, once it’s adjusted to the correct fit you should only have to clip once.This one was was harness only. Priced very decent. Shipped really fast. My original set because the leash is also special was about $60.00.A lot of behaviorists and trainers speak to more of Y shape harness being more appropriate as to not restrict the shoulders and this one seems to fit the bill. My trainer prefers martingales and starmark collars for initial training, but I know I won’t use those long term, I’m not a collar fan. Since decent weather is ahead I want to get her used to a harness for walks.I’ve got the next size up already saved to my wish list.Now if his company would come up with the similar leash to my other one, we’d be set!Pupdate: Jack Russell Terrierist puppy ate my beloved harness no longer made! I pulled this one out. She’s still pulling and chocking herself silly. But the multiple points of adjustment and playing around with them at least ensure a secure fit. We we will be back to her training collars to focus on actually behaving on leash and following directions. But this will be for the rest of the time. Let’s hope she doesn’t eat this one.

Great sturdy product. Our giant breed dog broke out of another brand of harness and our trainer recommended this brand. We are happy with the product. I feel the sizing chart should be reviewed as we measured and followed the size chart very carefully and the harness is big on our dog. Sized as small as it goes it’s still big in her chest. So for this reason I would recommend sizing down.For reference: St Bernard/ Great Pyrenees. 118lbsOrdered size Large. Should have ordered a medium.

This has become our favourite harness! It’s so light and comfortable yet strong. For our dog’s training we use the front latch and on a normal walk the back one. Highly recommend!

This harness is very lightweight and fits my dog in the right places. I have a portuguese water dog with long wavy coat so it's also important that the harness doesn't tangle his hair. We have been using this for months and still looks like new and dog seems super comfortable in it! Using the front hook also improved his pulling. Worth the buy!

This harness was recommended by my dog’s behaviourist. I needed a harness that gave plenty of space round my dog’s shoulders but was kind to the back (my Doberman had spinal surgery 18 months ago). I can recommend this harness, and so can my dog. It is light, comfortable but secure and strong.

I like how many adjustment points there are. The harness will shift when front-clipped if our dog is trying to pull. However, we are able to size it so even when it shifts, it's not rubbing on her.This has significantly reduced her pulling. I also like that you don't need to put it on over her head since there are so many clips. I wish our other harness (for a different dog) was like that.The only thing I don't like is the price point. I'm sure there's just as effective options out there that are more affordable.
