Will this fit a dachshund? I have never used a harness on him before but the vet wants me to and I prefer leather for the buckles.

watch your sizing. It runs small. This type of harness enables the dog to step into the harness as opposed to going over their head. It should work for your dog.

I looked on the packaging that came with my XS and it states dachshunds are one of the breeds this size fits. Paw pads that measure from 1 1/2" - 2". That's measuring from the back of the paw from heel pad to the tip of the longest nail. I would think this would work for yours. Good luck.

You probably would be better off buying a Gentle Leader harness first so that your pup learns not to pull when walking. I used the D and T harness after my pup had been through a couple of obedience classes. She is a service dog so the D & T harness works well. If your pup/dog is a puller then this harness will only reinforce his pulling. That said, there are girth extensions available but I don't know how comfortable it would be having multiple extensions on the harness. Having multiple extensions might also create multiple weak points since the buckles are plastic. Good luck.

I have a medium which fits my standard dachshund when he stretches out, he's about 24 in long. I would go with the medium so your dog can stretch out but if he's less than 24 in long he'd probably do ok with a small.

Well you would need to purchase size small for you dog. The small harness girth size ranges from 22 to 27 inches.

We have a dachshound, she doesn't seem to mind. It's a good sturdy harness !

Not to familiar with that breed, but I can tell you I purchased a small and it fits my 5 month old puppy she is about 7.5lbs now, however it is starting to get small around the neck. This harness pulls over the head so I will probably need to order a medium in a month or so.I love the harness, it works great &I get lots of compliments on it! I will order it again

Probably. My terrier seemed to be at the high end (15 lbs) of small so I got medium and it's a little big which means you can only tighten it so much. Also, it didn't really work for my terrier. He pulls too much. It's great for my other dog though and he really seems to like it. Just FYI, it is possible for the dog to get loose from the harness if you run into one of those crazy situations with other dogs or other distractions.

No I bought the x large and it fit a dog a little bigger that a regular dachshund, i would at least get a med or large, i know it sounds crazy. But the size of the x large was crazy small, I can Send you a pic of the dog it fit

I'm sorry I couldn't get back 2 you sooner, I found out for you that, there is no opening for a harness but if you really want this shearling dog coat, you can loosen a few threads very carefully with a hem remover along the exposed shearling to make an opening for Ur harness leash...I hope this helps you out....

I have a 15 lb. Dachshund and the small fit her well. Please note that if either of your dogs pull on the leash, eventually the harness strap (where it goes through the metal ring) will likely wear and break - that's what happened to me and it could've been a dangerous situation had I not been just outside my house at the time. Once our harness broke, I started using a WackyWalkr leash which I HIGHLY recommend for dogs that pull. It's been a game changer for me and my dog (we use it with a regular Puppia harness).

You can only adjust around the waist with the velcro and there is a little pull tab that makes the tail hole smaller. Our german/lab mix is about 70-75lbs and they fit, but they have gotten slightly looser over time. I don't think the XXL size would be good (that's the size I'm using), but possibly a smaller size. The pull string on the tail eventually becomes useless because it gets messed up when you wash it and it sticks to the velcro. If you get the right size meant for the your weight of dog, my guess is it should be okay - can always put it on and if it doesn't fit, send it back?

They fit well and snug. But they aren't a fashion harness and the extra bit of nylon on the end that attaches to the leash will make your leash longer. I would say any harness can look bulky because it is extra on the dog.

I bought the smallest size of this harness, but our pup (a toy poodle - bichon frise mix) was too small. She is now about 20 pounds but I haven't tried it on her recently. It seems from other comments, everyone is finding this harness runs big.

I would agree that a Medium should fit your dog. They seem to be generously sized and adjustable. Works wonderfully on our young German Shepard mix rescue. He is a large, strong puller and it has made exercising him on leash a pleasure. It is unfortunate that sizing information is not included here. I am certain a medium is your size but here is Halti Sizing: Small Snout: 5" retracted to 12" extended Neck: 6" retracted to 12" extended Examples: Westie, Jack Russell, Yorkie, Border Terrier Medium Snout: 8" retracted to 15" extended Neck: 6" retracted to 17" extended Examples: Labrador, German Shepard, Boxer, Doberman, Retriever Large Snout: 10.5" retracted to 17.5" extended Neck: 6" retracted to 14" extended Examples: Rottweiler, Great Dane, Newfoundland, Large German Shepard

I've never used a harness so I don't know whether it would work or not, but there definitely isn't any sort of slit or hole in the top of the vest. I use the vest with a collar. So if the ring to attach to a leash on your harness isn't positioned much differently than what is needed to attach to a regular collar, this vest may work for you. As someone else mentioned, the neck opening does sit back far enough that it seems like it ought to work. On the other hand, if the ring on your harness is in a completely different place than that for a typical collar, the vest may not work for you.

It fits my 50 pound, chubby female pit bull. And it's big on her. So it should fit your dog no problem. It stretches out really badly though. I wish I would have bought a med.
