We have a severely nervous dog and are afraid of loosing her with typical harness. Will this stop a dog from backing out of the harness?

NO I have a boston terrier and a king charles caviler and they both have pulled out of this harness It works well for pulling my boston terrier pulls. it does help for that. if they are pulled from the front it does come off

I have a small Pekinese cross who slipped out of everything I tried, even when I modified them. This harness has eliminated that problem. He has never managed to back out and it isn't because he hasn't tried. We walk every day and I've used it for over a year.

I agree with the other answer that if sized and fitted correctly, the dog shouldn't be able to back out of it.

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..

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

I have mine as a safety precaution for my dog...She is on retractable leash w/harnesses when we go trail walking.

When it is fitted correctly then it is not likely the dog leg will slip through. My dog has never gotten out of this harness once I bought the correct size. He has gotten out of other brands though. I wouldn't leave it on unsupervised though, I tried that too and he destroyed it. I have to buy a new one but this is still better than others. I been though 6 harnesses in two years, mainly because I buy it too big or I leave it within his reach.

I don't think that would be your issue. I have a 60 lb jumper. The barrier did not even phase her. And it constantly came loose. In the end, I tried so hard to tighten it that it just snapped off and is now garbage. I don't know what kind of dog you have, but I personally found this item to be a complete waste of money.

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.

If you have this on firm enough, I do not believe your dog could get out of this and as long as this is larger then the opening your precious one tries to or actually does escape from, this ought to work. Good luck!

Our cat is big, and we left the harness on him but he manage to get out of it after a while. If your cat is used to a leash at all I think he will be fine but if he fights it like our cat because this is the large one, your cat may slip out of it easily and I don't think they adjust much if at all. Hope this helps.

yes, i love this harness over any other and I have tried several. It keeps you dog snug without hurting them and gives so much more control over your dog than a collar.

Yes it does. And I bet she'll feel more secure with the soft harness holding her. My dogs walks, sits, and sleeps with it on and I higher recommend this product.

The harness eventually slips off my dog if I leave it on him. It's not really designed to stay on.

The harness comes with a strap that attaches to the seatbelt. When you put your dog in the car you will need to pull the seatbelt out until it locks and then you can attach the strap. When you hit the brakes the tension on the seatbelt won't let the dog move. It has helped alot with my dog. She used to almost fall to the floorboard when I braked. Now she seems more relaxed and safe...along with myself. ;)

I bought it for a dog that won't lead, at all,, he just lays down,, this lead only made him lay down faster. I put it on another of my dogs and she was distracted by the new straps, that may be why it keeps them from pulling

Yes it will! My dog is very excitable but I have taught her to calm down with this device. However, no device works without you doing something along with it. It is a teaching aid that I use along with treats. What it does, is get your dog's attention!

I cannot imagine a dog being able to escape a harness as long as you have the proper fit and it is fairly tight. No way my dog would be able to escape this.

No, it will not stop a dog from leaving an area. It's only meant to deter a dog from barking but it didn't do that for my German Shepherds or my Pit Bull, unfortunately.

I believe it will. My lab is 60 pounds but very strong and would often jerk me around. This harness applies immediate pressure to the dog which is very uncomfortable and in my case, made my dog behave. Hope this helps

Yes. My cat seems to calm down when he's wearing the harness. (The velcro is noisy when you take it off the cat.)
