1. Petsmart No-Pull Harness
Thick, padded harness that distributes the force of pulling to a dog’s chest and back instead of their necks. Our testers found its durability and comfort appealing during walks; its ease of putting on over the head may also appeal to some pups (though others may object). Plus, it’s machine washable!
A padded chest piece helps distribute the force of pulling, while double metal D rings offer more control than single clips. This harness is particularly suitable for dogs that tend to slip out of head-in-style harnesses.
2. Petsmart No-Pull Dog Harness
Front-clip harnesses help prevent pulling by pivoting the dog around you whenever the leash becomes taut, relieving pressure from its neck and providing greater control to their owner.
Our testers liked that this harness had minimal chance of wriggling out even with an active dog, while its design includes extra padding on high friction areas to reduce chafing and rubbing.
To ensure a snug but comfortable fit for your dog’s harness, measure around his rib cage before selecting and following product instructions to put it on. Enjoy stress-free walks!
3. Petsmart No-Pull Dog Harness
No-pull harnesses distribute pulling force across a dog’s more muscular chest and front legs, protecting their neck. In addition, extra padding in friction areas like armpits helps prevent chafing.
Ellis stresses the importance of finding a harness that fits snugly, yet not too tightly, and following all instructions when donning one. A too-loose harness may allow unwanted movement or be uncomfortable; an improper fit may limit mobility. A secure harness should be easy to put on and take off quickly and have both back and front leash attachments for secure usage.
4. Petsmart No-Pull Dog Harness
While collars can pull forcefully, harnesses spread the pressure evenly across your dog’s chest and back. When your dog pulls on its leash, this front-clip no-pull harness tightens slightly to bring it towards you rather than pulling away from you.
This simple and durable harness offers foam padding in high-friction areas to reduce rubbing and chafing. It also has a metal double-D leash attachment at the back of the neck for ease of leash walking training. While not a silver bullet solution for pulling, this harness can help teach loose-leash walking using positive reinforcement techniques.
5. Petsmart No-Pull Dog Harness
Rennie cautions that, unlike traditional front-clip harnesses that tighten when your dog pulls, this one applies pressure under their “armpits” instead of around their necks. However, too tight a harness or too much movement may pinch their pits, causing discomfort or pain for their animal.
This harness is built for comfort and easy adjustment with three straightforward buckles (one on the neck and two on the back). It leaves ample shoulder movement room while not chafing when exposed chest straps rub against an overexcited pup’s armpits.
6. Petsmart No-Pull Dog Harness
This 3-in-1 nylon harness doesn’t restrict your dog’s movements, with leash attachments on both front and back for convenient leash attachment. Plus, its easy adjustability made this GH tester’s escape artist pup completely secure within its confines – they couldn’t break free!
Reporter Sophia Carlisle found its no-pull ring too low for reporter Sophia Carlisle’s small dog; however, it may work better on larger breeds with more bottomless chests. Other features include a back handle to grab lunging dogs quickly as well as reflective strips to aid walking at nighttime – plus, machine washing makes this harness even more durable!
7. Petsmart No-Pull Dog Harness
Built for outdoor adventures, this harness was made to withstand rough use. Its durable yet sturdy construction allows for quick adjustments for an optimal fit, and machine washing keeps it looking its best! GH tester Ren Volpe’s escape artist dog could not escape its grasp!
This harness is ideal for brachycephalic breeds such as bulldogs, which have shorter airways and may find difficulty breathing while wearing certain collars or harnesses. The X-shaped design won’t place pressure on their trachea and can easily be applied by them.
8. Petsmart No-Pull Dog Harness
This step-in harness makes putting on your pup simple, even if he or she is uncooperative. When your dog pulls, the harness tightens slightly to distribute force evenly around his or her front “armpits,” so no pinching occurs in the neck area. Furthermore, there is a metal double D ring for leash attachment.
The harness is particularly ideal for brachycephalic breeds (such as our bulldog tester), as its X-shaped vest design won’t add extra pressure to their shorter airways. Furthermore, its breathable material keeps dogs cool. Padding reduces chafing and it is machine washable to ensure it looks its best!
9. Petsmart No-Pull Dog Harness
Contrary to some harnesses, this one doesn’t need to be put over your dog’s head but secures under their chest instead. It features both front metal loop and back metal D-ring leash attachments for more casual walks, plus padding to reduce chafing. This comfortable fit offers multiple adjustment points to ensure optimal results.
The step-in design makes this harness easy to put on even for fidgety puppies, while its chest straps that reach right up into their armpits may make walking longer walks less comfortable for pullers.
10. Petsmart No-Pull Dog Harness
This front-clip harness helps reduce pulling by pivoting the dog whenever the leash tightens and is an excellent option for brachycephalic dogs (smoosh-faced breeds like bulldogs) as it doesn’t put extra strain on their shorter airways.
Rennie appreciated how snug this harness fit, ensuring her dog would not lunge forward while lunging at it. Furthermore, Rennie enjoyed how easy-to-use adjustment points secured without needing to lift over their heads were secured without lifting.
Mia had difficulty with her no-pull ring sitting too low on her body, while the chest straps irritated her armpits.
