Harnesses are a great tool to teach young puppies or small adult who have fragile necks to walk politely on a leash. The small dogs and puppies are light enough that they aren't a huge problem when they do pull, because they're so little, and you can easily teach them how to stay by your side. But when it comes to big breeds or large muscular dogs, harnesses do more harm when it comes to training a dog to walk correctly than good. When you put any type of harness on a big dog, whether that be a straight front strap harness that goes horizontally across the dogs chest, or a thick padded chest strap that runs vertically between the dogs front legs, it makes the surface area on the dog significantly larger or in a stronger place on the dog's chest. There isn't a windpipe there, so the areas is a lot less sensitive. When you do that, you're actually ENCOURAGING your dog to pull. They can easily throw their weight into the harness and brace on you, and they can get away with almost anything. That includes a sudden jerk on the leash to run towards oncoming traffic to chase cars. This is extremely dangerous. Do you ever think why huskies wear full body harnesses that particularly have a vertical chest strap when they are about to pull a sled full of cargo? Because it's way easier for them! Now, the harnesses with a ring on the front strap for the leash to attach to is much better when is comes to control because when you correct your dog it pulls your dog around back to you. But those harnesses are very prone to twisting and sliding, resulting in chafing on the dog. So those are still not the best option for a dog who is a puller. The bottom line is, no harness, whatever the type, is more efficient at teaching a dog to not pull than a head collar. Head collars are extremely effective and genuinely a miracle worker for dogs who pull. It leads the dog from the head, just like a horse. Ever wonder how we can control a half-ton animal so easily? We don't put HARNESSES on them that's for sure! If we did that that would be a true and utter disaster. We have HALTERS on them, which is almost exactly like a head collar! ( A lot of British people call halters for horses head collars btw ;) ) If you are really serious about keeping your dog from pulling, get a head collar. They do not have to be permanent by any means, they can totally be used as a temporary training tool to teach your dog some manners while your training them to heel and so forth. They come in many different colors and they are very simple to use. A lot simpler than some harnesses. Ditch the harnesses, people. Get head collars!!!

I'm not sure why but I was constantly being bombarded by KZfaq commercials for 'Pug Life' dog harnesses, and after looking at the harness and considering all of the aspects - I bought one. What I find "funny" is that, even though PugLife claims to be the absolute BEST harness on the market, and after using it on our 113 lb. Rhodesian Ridgeback for two weeks now without a hitch - I don't see it included on your list of 'Best' harnesses. Can you explain?

Wich one is the best harness for you people ?? - Ruff Wear front range - Embark active - Chai choice front range harness
