PetSafe Easy Walk Harness, Medium, Black

The PetSafe Easy Walk is a front-clip, no-pull harness. The leash attaches to a martingale loop on the chest, which tightens a little when the dog pulls and turns the dog to the side. This pick is the Medium in black.

Who it suits

Owners of medium dogs that pull on everyday walks who want a quick harness that goes on with snap buckles, used alongside loose-leash training.

What reviewers say

Whole Dog Journal liked the simple design and the strap labels that make fitting easier, but marked it down because the chest strap runs across the shoulders, the harness tended to sag and slip, and a buckle can sit close to the armpit and rub.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Front ring helps steer a puller
• Pro: Quick to put on
• Pro: Light and breathable
• Con: Strap crosses the shoulders
• Con: Can slip sideways and rub near the armpit

Cautions

• Measure girth and chest width before ordering.
• Check for rubbing under the front legs early on.
• Use it for walks and training, not long runs or hikes.
