Product Description

The Easy Walk Harness for dogs is designed to stop lead pulling, quickly and comfortably. Available in two colours, black or red and five sizes to suit most breeds.

Why it works:

Traditional harnesses can actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the “opposition reflex.” That’s the reflex that makes sled dogs do what they do. The Easy Walk Harness' unique front-chest leash attachment stops pulling by tightening slightly across your dog's chest and shoulder blades. The gentle pressure steers your dog to the side and redirects his attention back towards you. The Easy Walk Harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area.

How do I know which size Easy Walk Harness to buy?

The correctly sized harness for your dog is determined by their girth measurement, as measured from behind their front legs.

Sizes:

Extra Small (3/8" nylon): 12 - 16" (Teacup Breeds)

Small (1/2" nylon): 15 - 20" (Jack Russells, Shelties)

Medium (3/4" nylon): 20 - 28" (Border Collies, Spaniels)

Large (1" nylon): 26 - 36" (Labrador, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherd, Rottweilers)

Extra Large (1" nylon): 34 - 46" (Giant breeds and oversized dogs)

How do I use the Easy Walk Harness?

If your dog forges ahead of you, gently pull the lead to the side to turn the dog towards you. As he stops pulling, be sure to release the tension on the lead. Use praise and reward your dog with treats and/or petting.

To slow your dog when he is pulling ahead, apply gentle pressure to the lead, pulling gently toward one side of the dog. Release the pressure on the lead when the dog is walking nicely next to you

Fitting the harness:

Open the quick-snap buckle on the belly strap.

Place the shoulder strap over the dog’s head with the chest strap resting on the dog’s chest.

Tighten belly strap to a comfortably snug fit. On medium-sized dogs, only allow room for about a finger’s width under the strap. Allow a bit more for larger dogs, less for smaller dogs.

Gently press fingers on the lower part of the front of the dog’s chest to locate the breastbone.

Adjust the shoulder strap so that when the chest strap is horizontal (parallel to the ground), the chest strap rests directly over the breast bone.

AFTER you have tightened both the shoulder and belly straps, adjust the chest strap to fit securely. It should rest nearly parallel to the ground, not “hang down” or gap.

You may need to remove the harness to make these adjustments.

When the shoulder strap is fitted correctly, the chest strap should resemble a horizontal line (parallel to the ground), and it will rest directly over the breastbone.

Attach the leash to the D-ring on the chest strap.

Easy Walkers Work

Posted by Jean Isles on 6th May 2013

There is no doubt the Product works well. We have 2 ten month old Golden Retrievers who used to pull on the lead. The Trainer said they will never walk together on a lead for several years. We bought the Easy Walkers and they walk perfectly together. There is only one word of warning I'd give. Due to the dogs still growing we bought the large size and one of the dogs managed to chew it whilst in the car as the centre ring was hanging a bit low. If you make sure the dogs, if they are still growing and therefore the harness doesn't quite fit as snug as it should, then take them off when they are not out walking. They are then perfect.
The best

I have tried several harnesses and they only lasted a couple of days until the dog got used to them. This one really works, my wife has arthritis and she can now walk the dog without any problem
Simply the bset

I have tried nearly all the harnesses going and settled on the Halti headcollar, but my Labrador was not happy wearing it for long periods so I bought the Easy Walk Harness. It is amazing most of the time he walks with a totally slack lead and if he pulls a verbal reminder gets him back to my side. He can still pull a bit on this harness but he only does that when we walk in a new location.
Buy one it has made our walks wonderful and we have just bought a second one as we would hate to be without it.
Best dog harness ever!

This product has transformed our 7 month old Siberian Husky from a typical sled dog, pulling like a train, to an apparently well-trained family dog walking along to heel without any effort at all. Money well spent, recommend to all dog owners who have a dog that pulls. We have tried other harnesses and leads and nothing works like this one. Magic!
AMAZING

One word: AMAZING
My boxer pulled so hard that i ended up sore muscles in my arm and shoulder all the time. Soon as i put the harness on him (needed a bit of help as he hates new things) and took a couple of steps i could see the confusion in his eyes (he didn't like the new regime) He walks nicely next to me if sometimes goes a bit ahead a slight movement by my hand is enough and he is back next to me. I still take him out with his regular collar on but i can tell that his pulling improved a lot even when he's not wearing this AMAZING product.
Don't think for a second to order it, if this harness can transform a boxer dog it could transform any dog.
Best money i've ever spent :)
Fantastic

I wish I had invented this product,I would be very rich indeed. Walking my large labrador is a dream I sometimes wonder if he's on the end of the lead!
great but......

I have a 6 month old labradoodle, sometimes its like taking Tigger for a walk he is very bouncy. I bought the harness and it worked even before we got out of the front gate. It fitted well and he didnt mind wearing it ( he hated the halti and it didnt work). Walking beside me with no effort from each of us was a pleasure........ Then we stopped at a cafe and in a moment of inattention he chewed right through the strap, back to being dragged after leaves or anything blown in the wind.
Amazing

We have reformed a dog which hauled on his lead but with the easy walk harness he is as good as gold and walks at my side. I couldn't believe the transformation.
Brilliant

My 8 month old Labradoodle pulls so strongly that I can't hold him.Using the easy walk has transformed him.He walks calmly beside me,rarely tries to pull and no longer tries to jump up at passers-by.
Very pleased with the easy walk harness
