does your harness tighten up in the front when the dog pulls ?

Yes this harness does tighten some. The center chest section is like a Martingale collar. It will only tighten so much. It works well when adjusted correctly.

Yes I believe it would, the main thing is to ensure that his collar is on snug around his neck or using a harness. My dog is 90lbs and while he pulled hard when he was a puppy up until he was about 3, at 10 years old he still pulls but no where near as much as he used to.

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.

It took me several adjustments to get it to fit right. Try letting out on the front adjustment and tightening the one that goes around the chest to see if that might move the straps back . That worked on mine . you could probably make some fleece pads if that doesnt work and than readjust . Remember that this halter isnt meant to be that total answer to pulling. They also still need training as well. It just throws them a bit off when they try to pull. Before our Poodle got the hang of the harness and training he sort of learned to walk sideways to make the harness not work the way it should lol!

I would say, no. I don't think there is enough adjustment in the straps to make it tight enough. The harness would be wearing the beagle not the other way around.

I am sure the fit for every dog is a bit different. My Hudson looks like a German shorthair pointer - for him it rides a little below his chest in the front which allows for the pull to encourage movement toward me rather than the usual tug of war. It doesn't seem to be uncomfortable for him at all and I prefer it for sure over the chain collar. Other harnesses I've seen just seem to give the dog more body weight to pull with. I like that this one works smarter , not harder.:-)

Yes. It twists on. I use this for my 90 lb dog and have no issues with it coming off.

No and I was not satisfied with the fit. It did not stay on very well. I wound up investing in the better ruffwear harness with hind leg straps.

I use a body harness on my lab. It depends on how much your dog pulls. This was a great purchase and I can now run with both dogs do much easier.

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!

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.

There is a strap coming out of the front bottom. Gently pull it after the harness is snatched around the child's shoulders. This will tighten the harness. It was loosening of the harness that was tricky. It took us a while to figure out. If you need to loosen the harness, find an opening slip situated on the front edge between the child's thighs. Push your index finger into it and feel for a metal plate. Push down the plate while pull up the harness with the other hand. This will loosen it.

It sounds like maybe the harness is not fitted on her. Make sure you adjust the straps so the harness fits snugly. The purpose of the front hook is to redirect the dog when they are pulling so a little pulling to the side is normal but not so much that it should bother you.

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.

I do. My dog travels with two harnesses on. I lock both into the dog seat then remove the traveling harness when I reach my destination. The walking harness stays on. Hope this helps...

This is like a choke collar and it may squeeze the dogs neck too much? You cal also try gentle leader EASY WALK HARNESS which deters pulling, but does not put pressure on the dogs throat.

It should work with a front harness. We have two hounds (fox hound, and beagle). They pull HARD on a normal leash, so we use front harnesses. Surprisingly enough, when they walk together on the tandem leash, they don't pull. We've actually started using their regular harnesses with this leash.
