I started using Julius K9 harnesses after one of my Shar-Pei dogs was wiggling out of every harness we got him. One harness was causing irritation under one of his front legs as well. He could not escape the IDC harness and was much more behaved with it on. These harnesses come in a variety of sizes, colors, and are super adjustable. I have a few at home, including an IDC belt harness, but the saddle style is really the way to go for a full grown dog. The belt harness is a nice, sturdy, cost efficient solution if you have a puppy and are not sure how big they will grow to be. Mine wound up being a small dog and her harness still fits her, but I wanted the saddle style because I wanted to use the universal bags which were not staying secure on the belt version.My 70lb Doberman wears a size 1. A Shar-Pei in the 40-50 lb range can wear a size 0 or 1, but 0 is probably better. My 30lb mini Shar-Pei wears a Mini.IDC harnesses size 0 and up have a loop to place a flashlight and a snap to hide the "O" ring. The mini does not have these features, but it still a nice harness. The small universal side bags will fit all of the IDC harnesses, but they take the small sized patches and not the regular size like the larger bags. The patches that come with the harness glow in the dark which is really cool. You can also buy reflector strips, and many other patches that range from "In Training" to "Do Not Feed." There are also several country flag patches available.The mini harness that I ordered from Amazon has a different texture than the canvas ones I have in sizes 1 & 2. I don't know if this is a feature of the smaller sizes or something new. The texture on the one I received is like pleather, which I actually like quite a bit. ***UPDATE: I heard from Julius K9 official and they said this harness is from a leather series that only comes in black. This was actually a great deal from Vegas K9 as I paid less for the mini harness than I could have gotten anywhere else.***All of the harnesses I have purchased have been black, so I cannot comment on the other colors. The color is a true black and not a dark blue or gray. They do need a bit of dusting off from time to time because of the darker color. The handle is good for securing your dog during a vet visit or right before a competition.If you don't have a Julius K9 leash to go with this, you should get one. I have a nylon with rubber and a full rubber one, both of which are comfortable and have stood up to the test of time. I recently saw a glow in the dark version which looked nice too.If you are looking for a sturdy, comfortable harness for your dog, Julius K9 is it. This company's products were originally made for police dogs and other working dogs. They are well loved my many dog owners for a reason. My only complaint about this smaller harness and this is not Julius K9's or the seller's fault, is that I didn't save the smaller rings for the small universal side bags. I never expected to have a small dog, so I guess I threw the smaller rings away a while ago. Totally my fault. The larger rings do work on this harness and are holding the bags in place, thankfully.

I just rescued an Anatolian Shepherd and at 11 months old, he's already about 100 lbs. He had no training so I knew I needed to be able to control him right away or he would pull me along for the rest of his life. I did a lot of research on harnesses for big dogs and went with Julius-K9 based on the reviews. I couldn't be happier. I knew as soon as I took it out of the box that it was a quality product. Sizing was right on (I bought a 3 for him, but they also make a 4). But best of all, it actually worked. It allows me to stop and stand there if he's pulling without him getting hurt or me getting yanked onto my butt.I made the mistake one morning of leaving this on him unattended and within a minute he had chewed through half the front strap. But I was so happy with it, I immediately bought a replacement from their website and another one for my chocolate lab. They make one identical to this that has a safety lock strap that covers the buckle. I replaced this one with that one for the added security.They make this harness in at least a dozen colors and you can order custom patches for the sides. I made one for my lab that says "I rescued my human". They also have side bags that attach in about 30 seconds. I bought those for my Anatolian to give him a "job" when we're out for walks. They aren't cheap, but I feel the price is good for the quality and design. Many other harnesses are nearly the same price and you're getting a lot less. I looked at this as buying security and safety, two things that are worth the extra money to me. If my Anatolian ever got loose, I have no doubt I wouldn't be able to get him back.One thing to consider, if you have a leash with one of those annoying new style clips that everyone is using these days, it won't fit over the ring on this harness.I've now recommended this to about 6 other people.

+ my dog is very mobile wearing it, but def. not getting out of it+ looks great on my dog+ super high quality material and stitching (made in the EU)+ reflective accents improve visibility (cost extra on other harnesses e.g. DT)+ "new" diagonal lines of pull succeeds in keeping the front belt well below the throat+ comes in several colors+ handle is super helpful+ D-ring is very secure+ easy to adjust size (but takes a few tries to get the fit right)+ ugly logo patch comes off easilyFinal thoughts: It's really THAT good! I bought this harness after a lot of research for my 30lb border collie mix to walk around the neighborhood, and eventually run/camp/hike. I knew my old ("puppia") harness was stretched and needed replacement, but the Julius IDC harness would put it to shame on its best day! I had no idea how bad other harnesses I've used are until I put this new one on my dog. I can't think of a reason to ever buy anything else. My dog doesn't like putting the harness on, but it takes all of 10 seconds to get on, about 5 seconds to get off, and he's perfectly happy in between. WAY easier and faster to get on/off than any other harness I've every tried...or even seen for that matter.

Très bon Arnai très sécurisé quant je promène mon Loulou je peux enfin promener mon chiens sans stresse tiens Corectement Rien à dire je suis superd satisfait de mon achat je vous le Recommande sans aucun souci

These are great harnesses. I have one for both of my Shibes. They fit great!

I love this harness. It’s sturdy and comfortable, even though my dogs love to pull. It’s easy to put it on and take it off. My dogs wear it without any trouble and don’t try to get out of it

Seems to be exactly what I saw on line. Fits great

What a great product. This is for my almost 11 year old Jack Russell. I wish I had gotten this sooner. No more pulling on the leash and choking. It took a bit of getting used to but he is much better walking on leash now.
