hello! can this be used as a walking harness as well without the tethers?

You could but it's pretty heavy duty. Maybe better in the winter as it may be a little warm in the summer. I'd go with a dedicated walking harness - this harness isn't the quickest and easiest to put on. Great safely product though.

It worked better for me to walk my dog than as an auto safety device. It didn't work at all in the car. The straps loosened and it fell off my dog in about 5 mins.

It can be. It's maybe not ideal, but in a pinch (when we are traveling), I walk the dog in this. It's a bit more "firm" fit than a normal walking harness so not sure I'd rely on this for more than an occasional use.

I think there at two tethers so you can put two dogs in there. When I only have one dog in I only use one. So I just use the harnesses that I already have.

My carrier had two tethers sewn inside it. They can be shortened if needed. I think it would be safe to fasten to a harness as long as the carrier is secured with the seatbelt as shown in the instructions.

Yes, it does have a tether, but my energetic puppy was still able to unzip the carrier and try to climb out.

Don't know if that will be a problem. This is not designed as a pet garment. Might be uncomfortable for long time wear. It's not a very soft material. It is tightly woven to be durable. Plus there are lift handles which hang when not in use that may awkward when not in use. I have a very tolerant large dog and I would never consider leaving him in a harness for any longer than needed to get in and out of car or to move him as needed.

There's a plastic clip and a plastic ring for the tether itself. You could easily attach a longer tether with a ring.

Yes, but not while the harness is in use. If the dog is wearing the harness while at rest or play the straps could easily loosen allowing the harness to slip off. I do not recommend keeping the harness on 24 hrs a day.

There is a metal clip that you can attach a tether to ( sold separately) or they recommend purchasing a harness that also attaches to this V shaped metal clip. I purchased this for a puppy that quickly grew out of it so I looped the leash through the clip that then kept the puppy in the seat. If you have a small dog and are going to use this for car use then it would be helpful to either purchase the tether or harness that Kurgo offers.

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.

Hi Alex, Yes, one of the recommended uses of Leash is to use it as a safety tether and this feature can be used with or without Capture. Thanks!

This is not meant for your cat to be put in and then tied up. All the cat has to do is pull against the leash and the velcro will undo. As for escaping out of the harness with no leash attached; my cat hasn't ever escaped out of it while just wearing it. It's the tension between the harness and the leash that causes the velcro to come undone.

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.

U dont have to use the tether - we have been using the seatbelt of the car only - & it has been safe...it is in usa though...safe travels!

Yes, If u can c photo there r 2 adjustable straps one around the neck and one around the belly, no escaping out of this harness.

Yes it could.... only one harness strap though.... if you sew, you probably could add another.

Yes, you can attach it horizontally (by which I mean sideways, not up and down). I am sure you could tie it about your waist, but I am not sure how secure it would be, given the fact that the straps are elastic.

The tether is at a level so the child walks to the side of you or a bit in front, as they should. I can't answer if the tether would be better at the top but if a child does stumble, they don't fall far. I've been happy with this harness and my toddler loves it.
