How does this harness go on the dog? I have one where it has to go over the nose &amp; head and my dog hates it.

It's so easy and comfortable. Best harness I've ever used. Head and nose are free. I can't describe how it goes on, but it just slips on, and all you adjust it one sliding thing. You'll love it.

When I put it on my dog, I strap it around her neck first then put her arms through the holes. It doesn't sound like the same one. I really, really like this harness! My dog doesn't pull at all!

This is gonna be either a hit or miss. I started to use it on my dog when he was 1 years old and he hated walking with something around his nose. He kept stopping while walking to try and take it off to the point that I couldn't walk to the corner with him. Granted, he was a 60 lbs dog at the time and try to pull a 60 lbs dog around isn't easy when your training him on a new leash. I think that you'll have an easier time training your 7 lbs Yorkie. But just a forewarning... If they don't like to have anything around their face, you will struggle a bit.

They have their own brand of no-pull harness which I have had great success with. I too didn't like explaining that the leader wasn't a muzzle. A no-pull harness isn't the solution for every dog. I tried this brand of harness on 6 dogs (I foster) and it was not effective on any of them. 5 of them respond well to the Premier no-pull harness (same brand as gentle leader). Every dog is different. I would suggest going to the place you bought the gentle leader and looking at alternatives. Good luck! Also keep in mind that this style of harness can rub on the armpits of some dogs. I recommend no-pull harnesses to all of our adopters and one adopter used it on the dog they got from me and it rubbed his armpits raw after one walk. Another friend had this happen as well. These have all been dogs with very short coats (Boxer, Pointer). The freedom harness does have padding so should reduce this, but again, it did not work to help reduce pulling for me.

I have a German Shepherd. There's so much adjustment available in the strap that it almost always should work. I only need to use one strap over/behind the ear and it stays put with quick on/off. Order thru Amazon Prime and return it if you're not satisfied.

The harness is designed in such a way that it reduces the dogs ability to pull. I noticed a difference when I put the harness on my Roxi. She's not a big dog but at 25 pounds when she pulled she would choke and strangle with a regular collar and I felt like I was killing her! This harness puts the 'pull' on the shoulders and puts pressure to stop the pulling. I'm not exactly sure on how it works but it does. Roxi pulls less when I put on this harness and we have a more pleasant walk. She also loves squirrels and when she tries to chase them now the harness doesn't cause her to choke. You can see from the picture the point of restraint is on the chest, not the throat. The harness is designed in such a way that it reduces the dogs ability to pull.

I just use a regular harness. I read somewhere that there is a 2nd tether in case you have a 2nd dog sharing the seat.

I used it on my 12kg miniature schnauzer and it worked well - only complain is the bulkiness. Especially the strap at the front shoulder, it is quite thick and broad and it does seem to press against the throat whenever my dog gets very excited - check out from other bulldog owner whether this is an issue as bulldog has a large neck (if not wrong). The harness is really well-make but slightly cost so if you can, try to get a fitting in a pet shop if the shop allow or make sure there is free return without having to pay for return postage. Hope the above answer helps

The harness has not bothered my dog, and she now has two of the harnesses. However, while my dog's coat is short, it is also thick...thick in the sense that you have to work to see her skin. This answer might not have helped, but I wanted to give you an accurate answer.

I think it would be best for you to contact the seller of this harness. I no longer use the harness. Previous answer by David is excellent. Give that loving doggie a big hug and kiss for me.

Sounds like my 8 year old female Cocker Spaniel. She didn't seem to respond any differently than usual during a car ride while wearing the wrap. I asked her veterinarian to make sure I had it on her properly. It was on just right and looked like a cute doggie girdle. Just didn't help my dog. Works for some,but not all.

Oh, mine works really good, the only problem I have is that it's starting to cut her nose. I don't know if the velcro is not connected right on top or what is going on exactly. She does very well in it. Hope this helps. Sorry it took so long, I just saw this today.

It is a tight fit going over his head when taking it off, but our dog loves to go out for a walk and tolerates our putting the harness on and taking it off--is even eager. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop his pulling.

Mine has managed to escape out of it once when I first put it on him, think I may have had it a little loose. But I have also seen it stop him literally in mid air the next time he was spooked. Just depends on how tight you have it on him. The velcro is super strong.

The velcro parts on the harness make it adjustable. The issue is that if the bunny wants to get out, it somehow can work it's way out. I just have to keep my eyes on her.

You need to shorten the strap, or otherwise they can do that! Just leave it long enough for them to lay down!Just don't attach to their collar, too dangerous and can cause them to choke. I use their cloth harness, and attach the ring on the strap to the ring on their cloth harness, I obtained from Dorothy's Harnesses@gmail.com.

Head harness goes across nose and assists with pulling. The nose harness is attached to an adjustable lead which can be attached to a leash. Hope this helps!
