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.

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.

The front of the harness slips a little so if your doing slow walking I think it would be ok but I but the back harness in the front and like it better, I don't use the front harness. My dog isn't old but I use it, when we walk because he tends to get excited when he sees other dogs so it helps me keep a firm grip on him if I beed to!

I have had two different harnesses from Puppia. This one I believe has two rings on the back and the other one I have has only one ring on the back. The seat belt tether I have just clicks into the seat belt on one end and had a "leash-type" hook to attach to the harness. That tether works with both the harnesses without any problem. Hope that helps; don't know what kind of tether you have.

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.

It is a plastic clip. It would be easy to extend the tether with another clip or whatever you prefer. FYI:There is a piece of Velcro next to the clip if you want to use the tether without the harness.

No...there is no place to attach it. I saw online where a guy used fishing line to make his own tether. Maybe you can try something like that.

In my experience, it's more how much play there is in your hook-up than "give" in the harness that will allow for laying down. I think the harness is comfortable in either position, tho'. I have different ways to attach harnesses and tethers in my vehicle - around the seat-belt buckled, directly into the seat-belt latch, and with a cross-tie (I have a Subaru Baja). Since the connection is on the back, this works with the 1st two alternatives. The tether is adjustable and I think you'll be able to find a length which allows your dogs to lay down without TOO much unwanted movement - obviously, the longer the tether, the greater the risk of injury when the dog reaches the end of it in an accident. I hope this rambling answer helps!

I have a 50 lb dog on a 20 foot tether and it works great. I can't imagine having a second tether would be an issue except they may tangle each other up.

I bought 2 of these this winter, already had the harnesses. It is just the tether.

Yes it can,if you use the tether anchor.I love it. Check out YouTube videos, I did before I bought.

There is no 'metal connector' for a harness. the picture shows a handle that you can easily see that comes from the inner cover through the 'removeable bags part', you could put a leash on this if you wanted. it is not designed for this, so i wouldn't consider doing this unless your dog walks easily on the leash and doesn't 'stress' it.

Howdy, There are two adjustable tethers, with snap fasteners to attach to dog or cat Harness, If you are attaching them to a collar 0n your pet you may need to extend the tethers all the way out, or attach a extension strap to them.

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...

I bought it for the lifting and supporting and did not try on a leash. It can be used that way but as already suggested, it might slip a bit for other than a calm walk. I don't think it is intended to aid in controlling a dog on a leash.

Not if it's properly secured, I use a piece of paracord as a leg strap. but walking with it can be noisy, you might have to hold it steady with your hand. this product is better for the range rather then a hunt, although it's still good for that.

Yes. Be weary. I bought and returned this seat. The tether worked and adjusted when I tried it, but as soon as their was weight, 21 lbs to be exact, the tether wouldn't adjust anymore. I tried both forward and rearfacing. I wasn't comfortable not having a seat I could adjust the harness straps
