| Omg just to let anybody know that I invested in the easy walk harness today. Best investment ever! My ten week old would practically choke herself into throwing up no matter what I did so I got the harness and our first walk was so nice. No more pulling. She still grabs her leash sometimes nut not as often. So happy! Yay |

| I agree! The Easy Walk harness definitely is a miracle. My 7 month old always pulled, more so when there was another animal but I don't like my girls pulling ahead at all and I changed them over to the Easy Walks and now I don't even know I have a dog walking next to me! |

If you put on a different harness do you think she would then pull? Just curious, because I would get one if it only worked with this harness, because we bike and are going to be starting Skijour so I want them to know certain harnesses have certain rules. |

| If I put a regular harness back on her, yes she will pull. They say the pressure on their chest tells them to pull. With the easy walk and walk your dog with love harness (I know a lot of people here use this one too) there's nothing pressing on their chest. I would highly recommend one! |

| Thanks, thats what I thought. But I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't confuse the dogs more, between their collars, their biking harness, and now there actual pulling harness! I will have to give one of the ones you said a try! |

| Word of caution: hope she never learns to walk backwards!! haha I tried to easy walk harness with Jasper and it seemed like it was working awesome, for about a day... then I stopped to chat with someone on the trail on he started fidgeting around with it until he learned that if he pulls backwards it can't stop him. So then, whenever I didn't go in the direction he wanted, he would turn around and run backwards with all his strength! Now I use a halti and he still tries to pull backwards but it'll close his mouth and he hates that enough to stop.
Hate to be a downer on an awesome product, I just thought it was comical how they can outsmart us at almost everything we try on them haha! |

| I wanted to ask if everyone was still enjoying there easy walk harness? An issue I have with my pit mix is that anything new she kind of freezes in and it acts like its working. a few days later she is used to it and will pull like normal. I was wonder if any of you had that issue or if they kept walking nicely. |

| I'm looking for a harness for each of my three huskies and I've just wached a video on youtube about this Easy Walker, I was just wondering if these harnesses hurt the dog in any way, as a way to stop them pulling? |

| I just bought the walk your dog with love harness the other week, works great, no it does not harm to them, it just redirects them towards you when they try to pull. I own both WYDWL and Easy walk, they are exactly the same, main difference being that EW has 2 clips and WYDWL has one and its sizing seems to go for a wider range |

| I actually bought the easy walk recently and it made a big difference. He can still pull a big, but it's nowhere near what it used to be, and it's a lot easier to control him. I thought about buying the walk your dog with love but since it was twice the price, I thought to try this one first to see if it worked. I might buy the other one sometime in the future. |

| My only complaint with the easy walk is that I find the front loosens up all the time... but that is because Gus still pulls sometimes haha. It is still way better than just walking him on his collar. It does help, but i don't think it solves all my leash-pulling problems. I still do a lot of loose leash training with him with a clicker and treats. |

| Maggie do you think you could take a sowing machine to it and fix it? |

| Mmmm not sure how a sewing machine would help though. When i say loosen, i meant that the clasp moves to the biggest setting. So i find myself constantly tightening it back up to get more control when he pulls. But then the pulling moves the clasp back to the biggest setting again haha.
On a day-to-day basis, i don't bother tightening it anymore. but if i know we're going to a new place and expect him to be bad, i'll tighten it up! I'm hoping he'll just grow into the biggest setting hahah |
