I have a Houdini dog that wiggles out of all harness types....this looks like it might do the trick. Has anyone had any experience with this?

This harness is amazing! Mt jack Russell mix was jumping over our 6 ft privacy fence. We tried several things wi th no luck until this one. You should definitely buy one.

I'm sorry, I can't answer that completely. I don't think it would be very easy to wiggle out but if he is Houdini, maybe. I had limited success with this harness because the small was too large for my dog even though he is a 15 pound yorkshire terrier so if you have a small dog it might not work at all.

I don't find them any more difficult. Worse case (if you have arthritis or such) you can use a small pair of pliers to squeeze them more easiy. Keep in mind this is the ONLY safety harness that passed the Center for Pet Safety's 2013 crash tests. So a little hassle is worth it.

I never remove the collar. That's a good way to forget to put it back on and now your Pooch can roam freely. Sounds like that rumor was started by someone's Dog.

I feel that it will keep her from backing out. the harness is like a t shape...it goes over head up under each from leg and snaps at shoulders...that's why I got the harness for my 100 lb lab..mainly got it for her because its a snug comfortable fit and doesn't pose the risk of hurting her neck..

Brenda, I have to think you have a harness that is too large for your dog. I can't imagine how it could back out if the size is correct.

No I have not tried this. At this time I have had no problems with this harness.

I tried it but didn't like it - it rubbed against his legs. I like a shock collar. I gave him a mild shock once and that's all it took. Now he responds immediately to all my commands, stop, heel, etc.

Once it's properly adjusted, it's no more difficult to put on than a standard harness. My dog doesn't really like harnesses to begin with, so it's a bit of a struggle with her. However, if your dog doesn't mind harnesses, this should be very easy!

I have a brazilian mastiff and it really fits her, but it doesn´t work. Looks ok in the picture, however, the harness will not stay in balance (in the midle as it looks), it will always slide to the back, leaving her neck unattended, her front legs will hurt bad, big dissapointment, sorry

I have a similar problem with my jealous Australian Shephard. I have considered using the collar BUT, it would mean watching the dog all day until he began acting up. Are you willing to spend all your free time watching him? I'm trying to come up with a better idea.

Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden? I have a GSP with this issue, using the Help Em Up Harness as well and ordering the Back on Track products as well. Using other therapies and hoping for a turn around. It's been a real challenge. Mine went lame on 6.16.14 from disc issues and was dragging hind paws initially. Hope you've seen your Vet or one who specializes in this area. I live in Dallas, TX and Dr Barton at Heal Vet does a lot of therapy for dogs with these issues, she is very kind and busy. Dr Giggleman here also does Vet Chiropractic, he is very gentle. Never allow your dog to get Chiro under anesthesia however. Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden?

I haven't tried it for that, but thanks for the idea; one of my dogs has both fear of thunder/fireworks and travel anxiety. It should work, it's based on the same principal - to provide snug physical contact during a situation causing anxiety. The question is "how much will it work?" I have found the thundershirt does not eliminate my dogs' thunder/fireworks fear, but does moderate it somewhat. Normally my dog is literally glued to my leg during thunder events. With the shirt, she still wants to be near me -- but she doesn't need to be in constant physical contact. I will try the shirt for short drives and see if it helps alleviate the fear. My dog crouches in fear on the floor of the backseat and has uncontrollable drooling. Based on the small success with storm events, I expect I might be able to get her to stop the drooling - still huddle on the floor, but not uncontrollably. Good luck.

In one word NO... If you're not around and you chain him or her up she can back outjjust as easily as a regular harness. And it doesn't work any better than a regular harness to get them to stop pulling either. Its about the training. Harnesses just give them more leverage to pull on u. This Wont let them be as comfortable as a regular harness when they pull so they Cant take you with them but it still promotes them pulling initially.

If u r very dillogent with the collar on a leash at first. Then continue to use properly this device will help! Keep in mind it's up to you to continue to condition with the collar until you can fully trust your dog. You will love this products! It has changed my life with my dog! Good luck!

If fitted per their instruction I don believe your dog can escape. My Houdini has never gotten out of his. Hope this helps

Yes. My dog got very upset and panicked because she could not move with this harness on. She has a longer than average body and I believe this was why the harness did not allow her to lay down and move side to side.

Hi, did you end up trying this? I want to order it for my husky and curious if it works! Thank you!
