Striped Puppy Dog Harness Dog Vest Harness for Dog Training Easy Walking Dog Harness Small Dog Harness Escape-proof Dog Harness (green, XS)...

I have a 12 week puppy that weighs about 16 pounds and wanted to get his first harness to start trying it out with him and get him used to one. Since he's still just a baby, I wanted one that didn't seem too overwhelming so I thought this one with just straps and not a big chest piece might be nice. It's a nice looking harness made of good materials and I like the design where the rings hold the buckle together in case the buckle fails. It is not very easy to put on him for some reason and he's not too crazy about putting it on. Once it is on him, he doesn't seem to mind it and seems to be able to move freely. I had to tighten it to almost the very tightest it would go and it still seems to fit a little oddly. Not so bad that I can't use it, but it just seems not a nice fit. Maybe I need to play with it some more. Also, since the pup is still little, his leash is very lightweight and the clip part is so small that it won't clip on to both rings at the same time, so I had to rig something up with another split ring to be able to do that. So, something to also think about if you have a leash with a smaller clasp piece.

This striped dog harness looked like it was good quality so I ordered my Cavalier's normal size Medium in orange. She is just over 20" in largest part of her chest even though she only weighs about 16.5 lbs. Since the medium chest range is 17"-23" I thought it would have worked even if she were wearing pajamas or a winter sweater. It is well made & good quality and I have no doubt it will last longer BUT not going to work at all. I knew the strap width was listed as close to 1" wide but had no idea how heavy and ridiculously large the D-rings and buckle would be. The buckle is also more difficult to open and it's so heavy it falls side to side. Her regular harness which is about 3/4" wide (red/pink one in pic) weighs 1.8 oz compared to this one at 5.7 oz. This would be much better suited to a large breed dog, however; I doubt the chest size is large enough unless you have a very skinny large breed small chested dog. Just wanted you to be aware if you have a breed similar to mine. It would cost me more to return it than it's worth so I will donate to a rescue and hopefully there will be a better suited dog in need.

This is a well made, super sturdy harness. In my opinion, it's ideal when harnesses are designed so that the rings where the leash is attached actually hold the buckles together. This design is incredibly safe and there's virtually no danger of the harness failing because the plastic buckle breaks. I followed the chest measurement for my dog and the small is supposed to fit a 15 - 20.5" chest. He's a 13lb chihuahua/beagle mix and has a 10" neck and a 16" chest. He's also a tripod. Unfortunately, this harness is way too big on him. It's also way too bulky for a dog his size. He just doesn't need straps, rings or buckles as hefty as these are. Maybe the XS would have fit, but I didn't want to risk the harness being too tight. My point, in my experience, it runs big. Great harness, but if you're at the lower edge of a size range, size down.

I am happy with this harness for my young puppy. There are some things that I would change about the amount of adjustability on the harness. It would be nice to be able to adjust the length of the strap that goes over the back of the dog. I found the front of the harness was sitting a little low on my puppy's chest and adding adjustability to the back strap would work to fix this issue. A second problem I had with this harness was that the strap running through the dog's front legs again isn't adjustable. This could also play a part in the harness sitting low on my dog's chest. I think for these reasons my dog is able to slip his head and legs out of the harness. I have the harness tight enough on him and he shouldn't be able to get out of it if it fit correctly. The buckle seems to work well, is nicely made and it should hold up over time. With all of that said I think this is a good option for a harness but has the potential to be great.

This harness is cute, vibrant, thick, and well-made. I have an 8 lb Yorkiepoo and though it fit well, it is a little loose in the chest part. I pulled it as tight as it would let me, but it still was loose (and I keep his shirt on him while wearing. I would have liked to have been able to tighten by the buckle - it is just one that you clamp. The loosness is not a is not a huge deal since I can still walk him while wearing it. It is comfortable for him since it it thicker than his others.
