Hi. Alpine Outfitters is very popular around here http://www.alpineoutfitters.net/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=16 And their costumer service is very good too, in my opinion.

The Easy Walk harness is great! It clips in the front and is a good no-pulling harness. My husky will still pull sometimes with it, but with some training too, it's a good one if you're looking for something like that.

We have Alpine Outfitter X-Back harness for pulling/biking. LOVE them and highly recommend their products, they take a while but they're custom made and perfect!

We also use Ruffwear Webmasters for every day walking and I love those a lot also.

Patiki, you'll get better suggestions if we know what you want the harness for and whether you need it for training purposes. The Kong harness is a fine harness but there are so many good harnesses available to meet different needs. Granted, most of us also have a number of different harnesses for different occasions/uses. I have 3, one for daily walks around the neighborhood (a generic H style harness), a different one for trails/hiking (Ruffwear Omnijore harness), and another different one for working/pulling (custom Alpine X-back harness).

WALK YOUR DOG WITH LOVE! @walkyourdogwithlove.com

I swear by it. Kingsley was resistant to all front pull harnesses before this one. He walked like an angel from his first day and I LOVE IT I WANT A THOUSAND OF THEM.

I bought an extra thick version and I don't leave it on him during in house down time, otherwise he'll try to chew at it. But yes, I ADORE this harness for yard-frolicking time and walks.

i wouldn't buy those harnesses for ANTI-pulling, because huskies are made to pull, so i wouldn't try breaking their nature, so i always go jogging with my dog for few minutes, than she isn't pulling much, and i'm happy, and she is happy.

My mom is going to send me a harness from germany, its made by Julius K9 , http://www.original-k9.de/, and she told me that right now, almost every dog in Switzerland and Germany has one on.
And the price is totally acceptable

Totally agree. I heard about it from other folks on the forum and ordered one for Layla. She's not too much of a puller to begin with but does pull hard sometimes, and the first time we tried the WYDWL it was a night-and-day difference. We use it for walks around town and in parks now for when I need more control and restraint from her.

If for walking, I second an anti-pulling harness. There is no harm in it, and the dogs CAN be trained to learn which harness is for which activity.

With my walking harness, the Walk Your Dog With Love, my dogs know not to pull and that we're going for a walk.

When their x-back harness goes on, they are jumping at the lines ready to go at the first hint of 'hike', knowing they're about to pull.

You're not 'breaking their nature' by using a front-clip harness, you're training them to walk when using one piece of equipment, and to pull when using another. It can be a collar, a harness, whatever.

The reason I personally prefer the front-clip because when my dogs bolt, their leash pulls them at the center of the chest, redirecting the pull safely for them.

If they are wearing a collar and they bolt, the pressure is on their neck when they hit the end of the leash and they are jolted by it.

If they are wearing a pulling harness and they bolt, I can get pulled off my feet and dragged down the street. When walking three dogs, that weigh 115 pounds altogether, you certainly don't want to walk them in pulling harness and have a squirrel run across your path, there's only so many 'on by's' they listen to. I save that for when I'm bikejoring and have brakes to help me out.

Since he is a puppy right now, sure julius k9 will be fine. But when he is older, and you will want him to walk at certain times, and pull at certain times, you will want two different harnesses or a collar and a harness, you do not want to use one harness to walk in and then run in that same harness later on as you will confuse him in what you're expecting from him, and he may try to run when you want him to walk which in turn frustrates you and him. Hope some of this helps ^.-
