Review on Didog Soft Flannel Padded Dog Vest Harness, Escape Proof / Quick Fit Reflective Dog Strap Harness,Easy For Walking Training (S:Chest 18-22", Mixed-Blue) by Joseph Long

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice quality. The padding sold me.

This seems to work pretty well. I got it for hiking with my 60lb part-pyrenees dog. We used the size chart and the large seems to fit him almost perfectly. We normally use a standard collar, but I wanted something that was safer for him on various terrain and wouldn’t hold/add too much heat in the warmer climates. It definitely seemed to work well on our last 6 hour adventure. The padding was nice and kept him from having any raw or rubbed areas. It cleaned up just fine after he wore it through a muddy creek and didn’t transfer any color onto his white fur. The quality is pretty good and I like the option to hook the leash on the front or top of the harness.He is well leash trained, so I didn’t have any worry about how well this would work for pulling. If you are purchasing this product for "leash training” I would highly encourage you to check the placement of your normal collar first. You want to keep a short leash and have the collar sit high up on the neck- about where the skull and neck meet. That gives you much more control (without choking your dog). Dogs tend to instinctively want to pull against a low collar as well as harnesses.I could see how a dog could potentially slip out of this harness, especially if the (non-adjustable) neck area was too large.

Pros
  • Machine-washable for easy cleaning and maintenance
Cons
  • The harness is not recommended for use with a retractable leash
