Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I have both, and I actually love them both. I use the Xback specifically for pulling and the urban harness can't really be used for that, but I use it for hiking and biking (because I have the springer). I say figure out what you want to use it for and that will make your decision on which one will work best for you. |

| I will probably use it most for roller blading with him. Maybe eventually biking. And im sure my niece and nephew will wanna get pulled around a little in the winter lol. So what would u suggest? |

| If you are biking out front then the xback will work, but for everything else definitely get the xback first, it will be better for the winter. My neice and nephew get pulled on a sled as well, and the xback has worked great for it because it allows them to pull from their chest and distributes the weight better than the urban harness does. |

| Yep, I agree. I have the Alpine X-Back Harness and I use it for biking. Juneau loves to pull! It will take about 4 weeks to get to you if you order the custom x-back. |

| I think I've asked about this before...but which would work better with the walky-dog? I feel like I remember someone saying they wouldn't recommend the urban trail harness with a walky-dog, but I don't remember why. It would mean the dog runs further ahead, but I don't see why that would really be a problem. |

| It depends on who you ask, really. I honestly think the urban trail is better for the dog because it has a clip that attaches to the side of the harness. But the weight isn't pulled equally from there. I use the x back because she will be pulling from her chest and not the side. I also bought an extra bungee that's about eighteen inches long. It makes a huge difference. If I had to do it all over again, I'd still get the xback.
Sorry for the big paragraph, I'm on my phone lol |
