I sort of felt like buying this was a cop-out, like admitting that I'm a bad dog owner and too lazy to thoroughly train my dog. However, after buying it, I've found that it's basically magic so I can't care about being a lazy owner too much. Anyway, it's seemingly completely safe (unlike head collars or normal collars which can sometimes cause back or neck injuries, or choke collars which, well... choke.)
My 130 lbs malamute mix was fairly well trained and didn't pull often until I moved in with some other dogs and we started going on group walks. This got him all excited and all his training went out the door. I bought this and pulling has stopped totally and completely INSTANTLY. He's like a perfectly well-trained dog now. I was shocked. I figured he might still pull KIND of or at least sometimes. Or maybe it would take a couple weeks and some actual effort and training, but no. I just put it on, attached a leash, and that was that. It might be different with other dogs but it worked like a charm with this one.
We're getting one for our husky that pulls even worse than this one did. She's also much younger and more high-strung, so we'll see if it works as well on her.
The only problems I've found is that the chest piece tends to be too broad for a lot of dogs who aren't really that stocky. It has a wide range of adjustability, but it will fit awkwardly on awkwardly shaped dogs. No sizes really fit my greyhound mix at all. It also looks like it could cause some chaffing in the armpit area, so I don't know if it would be good for long distance jogs or hiking.Get more detail about Easy Walk Harness, Size: X-Large.
