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.

So I ordered just a collar, leash, and an x-back harness. Unfortunately, I think the harness is too small and he's such a sasquach :/
Oh well lol. I'll let you guys be the judge since I could barely figure out how to put it on him lol! 
Here are some pictures:

The collar and leash look great! as for the harness unfortunately I'd have to agree too small Sad you want it to end at the base of his tail when pulling and it seems a couple inches too short IMO. Although others may think differently?

So is there anyplace around here where u don't have measure and send it in to get a xback? Not that I'm against alpine I'm just against letting myself measure again if I have to.

Hughie posted on another thread that "A-1 (AKA LDL) pet supply has them on a rack and you can try them on for a correct fit. They only have Ultra-paws and Ikon harness they are all about thirty dollars plus tax." Not sure what store that is.. and if we have it in Ohio.. I'm guessing we don't but if you need help measuring I'm more than happy to help you measure.

You haven't shot down this xback harness possibilities yet Cool jk I'm not sure it's bad if it is I'm guessing its a little short. I was just wondering my paracord to measuring tape system my have some flaws. I thought it was pretty ingenious that's prolly where it went wrong Cool

Thanks for the input! I definitely think it's too short. It fits fine as far as how snug it should be just short as far as length. Oh well. Lol, at least I got a fitting collar and leash!

Well don't feel bad I think I did the same thing. Atleast it wasn't special made, full price, and make u wait two months for it to be built and sent to you to then find it out. Gotta see the positives or atleast be able to laugh at your measuring skills right?

You're braver than I am. Next time I'm goin to get someone else to measure mine. There comes a time and place where you have to find out if your the brains or the one holding a spoon of peanut butter. Cool

Alright hopefully the weather is alright doesn't quite sound like good human weather. I'm sure the dogs won't mind a bit at all. I'll probably post somewhere on here if I can't find you guys. But as far as I know I'm good for it.

I think it is just a little too long but he could grow into it if he grows more. It should be loose when they're not pulling and snug to the body when they pull. This is what Kay's looks like when she's not pulling and pulling.

I bought one of the x back harnesses and mine was too short. She told me that when pulled the harness should reach the base of the tail. So I personally don't think it is that big

Anya's harness came in today! I'm not sure if it fits her right. It seems perfectly tight around the neck, but really lose in the rib cage area. I'm expecting her to fill out there since she is still such a skinny minnie. What do you guys think?

To me it looks like it fits. Is it loose when she pulls or just when she isn't pulling?

Its still slightly loose when she's pulling, definitely looser than it fits Kay but it might be because Kay is so fluffy. I guess its good that its a little loose because that means she has room to grow but its tight enough that I can harness break her without worrying that she can easily back out of it.

By the way... I kind of wish I didn't loose leash train her because now its hard to get her to pull! Every time I say "good girl" when she starts pulling she slows down and looks at me confused Alpine Outfitters Garage Sale *Still Going On* - Page 4 1625187496

Haha. Anna doesn't know what loose leash walking means. I am just now teaching her that but she has caught on well. I also taught her to mush so she knows when I say that I mean pull.

Anya is still young she might fill out a bit more, Anna is also very slender but she is a 1 year and 8 months old. I will try and post pictures later of Anna so you can see how her's fits.

Haha. Anna is stubborn like this, she is 37 lbs and can pull me, 110 lbs, around. She just doesn't care whether she gets food or not. But now that we have continued to do it every night she is much better. She will even walk beside me and give me the happy-go-lucky look, like she knows she is doing good. I started out by making her heel the whole run. I am currently looking for behavioral classes so we can work on it some more, I think she will enjoy it.
