Does the harness work good to tie them in the yard and does pull hard?

We've only used the harness a few times to assist our geriatric black Lab safely navigate the stairs from the second floor to the first floor. It is very well made and I would think it would be worth at try as a tie-out harness.

Make sure you measure your dog's chest very well and get the correct size. We use ours primarily for walks. I think it's comfy and definitely durable. You may want to consider getting an invisible fence. There are many types on the market. Your dog will have access to your whole yard and never get tangled in a rope/chain. The training takes a while, but the end result is a very happy dog. We've fenced over 2 acres and our current home, 1/2 acre. Some brands only cost a couple hundred dollars. Good luck

I am not an advocate of tying dogs in yards and I wouldn't use this harness for that purpose. It is good for leash walking, with the handle you can easily control your dog, if a situation should arise.

This is a great harness for putting them in the yard. We keep our dog on a lead in the yard any time he is out of the house. He is a shepherd chow mix and he pulls very hard.

It looks like it should but my german shepherd can slip out of it if he gets squirmy and if there's tension on the leash.. It stays clipped he just figured out how to tuck one paw under and escape..:

Would not recommend it for tieing out its more of a service harness I used because my black and white boxer chest is white and sensitive to other harness

I can't answer your question because I don't tie my dogs in the yard. It's an excellent harness to "walk" your dog in. I have two, in different sizes for different dogs. My smaller dog is very hyper and active. It calms her down when we walk with the harness. My larger dog is typically not good just with a leash on the collar. She walks so much better with the harness. Because the harness goes around the body, it tends not to pull. Sorry for the long answer, but I can say it's an excellent harness and DO TRY TO WALK YOUR DOG IN IT.

We have only used the harness for walking. It works quite well and lows for proper and comfortable control and handling. We have never tied him up on a run or the like, so we can't answer to the "yard" portion of the question. This harness allows the handler to better control the dog and limits the pulling effect.

The harness does come with the leash, which matches and is a good strong leash too.

Our Zuchon (Shit zu and Bichon) has long hair that mats easily. This harness is not only kind to her little body, but it does not cause the hair to knot like other harnesses. This is the only harness that we will use.

It works great. My dog is 90lbs and likes to pull and this keeps him in check. It's nice because you can slip it right over their heads and they cant get out of it.

I have one these. The harness is fine for what it is. If you want a nicer one then you can always buy a more expensive one.

I only used the harness 3 times. It did NOT discourage my dog from pulling. The directions were horrible and the neck part of the harness was difficult to adjust and did not fit right. I went back to my gentle leader.

Unfortunately no. It is the same as any other tie down you pull tight and tie off. I wish it had a locking mechanism to it. It does seem very durable though.

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 have not, but I'm sure it could be done, providing the dog has been trained. There's an attachment on it that is supposed to prevent pulling, but I've never tried it. I think it would be worth a shot, but I could not give a definite yay or nay as to if it would work

The key is to take the tension off the cord that tightens up around the dog after you have put the tension on. They it just pulls over his head and out from under his legs. Getting it on right is harder. You have to make sure the leg loops are in the right place when you slip it on and that the ring with the pull cord is up and in the right direction. It takes a little practice, but it's a great harness. My dogs like it and willing help me get them in it--probably because they know that means they're getting out! Hope that helps.

Easy walk harness? Great for dogs that pull when you walk.. Not designed to train loose leash walking or heeling... I think it is a bit restrictive and I would not want my dog running with it. It really is just best for helping people control dogs that pull too hard on walks and don't have time or ability to train loose leash or heeling behaviors.

This type slip lead is not going to help with the pulling. I bought The Sporn Halter which works beautifully for any dog that pulls. I highly recommend it for your dog. It fits on the collar and goes behind each front leg and the control is with the legs and not the neck.

I'm using the Walk Your Dog With Love, No-Pull Front-Attachment Harness and it is not leather; but, it's simple and has worked well. I like the front attachment harness style the best for control while walking my dog , is simple to put on and doesn't get tangled up. The leather ones on Amazon are not front attachment. My dog only bothers with the harness if I stop to talk with someone, he lays down to wait and the front attachment is handy for chewing so I have him sit and I try not to be too long. They chew when they're bored. There are a lot of leather harnesses on Amazon to choose from.

hasn't happened to me, but any clasp is a weak point given enough strength. This is supposed to be designed for breeds whose neck is too weak for harnesses that loop around the neck. For a pulling dog, I recommend a gentle leader which goes around the bridge of the muzzle and connects to a collar...if he pulls, it will make his face turn sideways which will in turn make him want to be at your side to be more comfortable.

I'm sure. But I have had mine over a month now and it works perfectly even after my son abused it, for whatever reason he felt it was a good string to tie to his truck to pull it. I plan to reorder.

Yes definitely. I use the harness when I take my dog to the dog park instead of the leash with the collar. My dog pulls a lot when he see other dogs...social butterfly...never meets a stranger...human or canine. Hope this helps

Yes it can! When I take them somewhere with me, I just leave the harness on all day. It's super convenient!
