We had tried all manner of halti leads, traditional collars, 3 point harnesses and more before we picked up this harness for our Cockapoo after seeing another Cockapoo sporting one in a park.Our dog loves to pull ahead, its a constant when on the lead, we have tried to train her we have had three instructors to try and help but to no avail. With this in mind it was important for us to get a harness that firstly could help reduce this and more so made her as comfortable as possible without the strangling effect you see on lots of types of harnesses and leads.- You can tell the build quality is excellent as soon as you unwrap the harness, the stithcing is reinforced,the material itself where not webbing appears to be hardwearing padded cordura.- Its super simple to place over your dogs head then a quick clip together of the seatbelt like fixing buckle. Other products we have tried required one leg through this hole, another leg through that hole, it became a chore and at times distressing for the dog, this takes a few seconds.- We picked up two to get the right size, at the time our dog had a chest of i think 21inches and weighed circa 13kg. A size Mini was picked - however she has now outgrown this, so we have just ordered a size 0 - As a tip whilst it may be a pain you could be better off ordering two sizes then returning one if your dog is borderline on the size charts between two.- There is a good level of adjustment on the buckle strap so you can adjust your fit, we found this really useful as much like humans if the dog has eaten a lot she might have a fuller tummy, when in super wet conditions as per the pictures she sometimes has a fleece on, the adjustments can be made quickly and easily so as not to cause discomfort.- Functionally this really has reduced the pull factor, it has not eliminated it nor did we expect it to, we just wanted for her not to be hurting herself if pulling whilst on the lead. It really does do that. With some other harnesses you could see her walking and running gait change whilst wearing, indicating that the harness did not fit or was uncomfortable, with this that is not the case.- Security wise, she has never slipped out, i read some reviews that said this might happen, it can happen with any harness and a determined dog in an ill fitted harness, we have not had an instance.- The clip for the lead is just about right regards size, length and placement, it doesnt bang in to the dog whilst off the lead and is easily found whilst also trying to find a towel and treats, one handed operation is easy.- Durability wise we bought this in October 2018, we are now having to replace it but only because our dog has gotten a little larger so a size 0 is a better fit. During this time it has been exclusively the only harness we use bar when on organised park runs for which she has a special running harness. For good housekeeping we wash between 3 and 4 times a week depending on the trails and water, sometimes more sometimes less, but always its a machine wash.- Considering the amount of machine washing and 7 days a week walking this has been extremley durable. There are a couple of fabric grazes here and there, but there doesnt appear to be any structural issues, the panels are all intact, the lead anchor and belt clip both work fine and securely.- If you are machine washing then to save wear and tear on your machine and the harness, buy a couple of cheap pillow cases and wash the harness inside those, will reduce noise too!- Overall this is a fantastic product, well designed, durable, looks great, the dog is always happy to see it coming out of the cupboard and it really has changed how she walks, five stars.

This harness is the best harness I've bought so far! It is incredibly tough and strong and looks great on my dog and relatively comfortable to wear.The handle is incredibly strong. I have a very strong golden retriever, who walks beautifully on the lead, however when she sees a bird, she wants to run after it; so its a great way to hold her close for greater control when needed.The reflective strap and glow in the dark side strips are fantastic and reflect/glow well in the dark for easy visibility.The steel D-Ring is incredibly strong and robust, in fact, it's so chunky, I've had to get a new lead just to fit it!The Julius-K9 Powerharness looks fantastic on and I've had other owners ask me where I purchased it from.Only a couple of negative things I've sadly noticed:1)

This has greatly improved my terriers behaviour when out on her lead. She used to really pull to the point where her front paws barely touched the floor when walking on her lead. She also barked and snapped at other dogs passing and some people. Since I purchased the k9 harness and the front chest strap, her pulling and bad behaviour has really settled down. She cant pull in the way she used to with the front chest strap on. I also think the harness makes her feel more secure. I purchased a double lead also, so I have one end of the lead clipped onto the front chest strap and the other end clipped onto the harness ring located on the dogs back. This combination has transformed how she behaves when out.

So far we have had two K9 harnesses as she's grown up.We have gone through various other brands that didn't live up to the hyper nor the marketing for an active dog, as they have either broken or been too hard to clean/maintain.The K9 is a good harness - but it's not the best harness out there. If you are looking for a harness to stop your dog pulling or to make it easier to control; then this is probably not the harness you are looking for.Things I like;---------------Super quick and easy to get on and off.. put the dogs head through the big opening and do the clip up underneath... takes seconds. Not like the other harnesses where the dog has to 'step into it' or anything like this.

Made to last, tough, strong and durable with lots of tech behind the design and extras built in to make the perfect adaptable, multi function dog harness. A harness is always so much better than the tradditonal lead and collar which pulls constantly on your dog's neck impacting on their spine causing muscle related damage for your dog when it's older. We purchased for a rescued Husky. On day one, the dog was not overly impressed by the different feel of his harness as he had previously had collar and lead attachement. Within half an hour of first walk our dog began running, totally unhindered by his new harness, which he seemed to forgot he had on, and we have not looked back since.

We have an 8 month old golden labrador and walking with him was proving trickier and trickier as he pulled so much. We tried a sturdier chain and collar, full stopping and rewards for good walking and stopping at junctions amongst others but nothing worked. Dubious of the product I borrowed one from a friend's dalmatian for the day and instantly the pulling stopped. When I ordered mine I purchased a separate chest plate owing to a need for increased security due to his size. The children (13,11,10,9) were instantly able to walk him without pulling, dragging, injuries or shouting at him for bad behaviour. I would highly recommend anyone thinking about purchasing one to do so,

I absolutely love this product! You can tell that it is of a very high quality and is made extremely well.We purchased the 'Pink With Flowers' design for our 9 month old Pomeranian in the size 'Baby 2'. The design looks a lot better in person, the flowers really pop and the pinks contrast lovely with the orange colours.The sizing is perfect. We had to adjust it slightly in order to fit her but there is still plenty room and there is also room for her to grow which is great as we will not need to purchase another. It fits very snug and does not rub her or catch on her skin.At first, it was a little awkward to put on and the instructions didn't help much, but we got it eventually!

Getting the correct size is tricky ,even with a tape measure, I bought the size 1, which looked too big, then returned it at my COST of £3.99, CAVEAT EMPTOR that was not made obvious on the Amazon listing, which bumped it up to nearly the retail shop price, that said the product is EXCELLENT no more pulling, plenty of attatchment ponts, removable velco signs, which are of course an optional extra, available also on AMAZON.There are cheap copies but past experience is buy cheap buy twice, this product is properly made and should last a lifetime if needed.The two 'FRIENDLY' logos that can be attatched to the velcro pad instead of the Julius patches have already drawn a host of positive comments 'what a good idea'

I love this harness.I got this after waiting what seamed like ages for my pup to grow big enough for her to have one of these ( she's a tiny Chihuahua)I was having a lot of trouble getting my pup to walk on a lead, so I done some research and these harnesses where mentioned a lot. So I found what size would be best for my little chi ( for my pup baby1....and it is tiny )Once I adjusted the fit (Go on the Julius k9 web site or you tube on how to fit and size... very important you do this correctly! ) it was good to go. She took a couple of times to get used to it... so we used it in the house. But she walks a million time better on this harness!Ok sorry just wanted to sing the praises of the

While I've had this harness less than a week, I can't speak to how well it will last, however, my dog and I love it.I bought a different harness (different manufacturer) the day before buying this one. When it arrived the following day, it was immediately clear it wasn't suitable. It was too tight, and my dog would back away when I tried to put it on. I ordered this one straight away.The sizing seems quite generous, although it's perfectly secure. It has a fantastically strong handle; something that's essential for my very reactive malamute. The other harness had a thin handle, whereas this one is sturdy and comfortable, even when my dog is straining against it (Deer! Squirrels! Another dog!

The item arrived on time and was well packaged and even had a small information booklet too. Now to the MAIN points of this harness for me! Without being dramatic, or saying this lightly, this item has changed my life!! I have arthritis in my spine and both of my hands (thumbs mainly) and walking my 5 year old Staffie cross was almost impossible for me because she used to pull on the lead. When I first put it on her she was almost "magically" transformed - it seemed to calm her instantly.When my back allows me to walk her (I aim for twice a day) she is like a different dog. She doesn't want to run off all the time, is happy to walk to heel, but most importantly SHE DOESN'T PULL ME!!

My Border Collie is about 19kg and from working stock so is a skinny athletic dog - he wears the Size 0. He loves being off the lead but is a puller when on it. I have used a Halti on previous dogs but have seen a lot of dogs wearing harnesses so decided to give it a go. He wasn't bothered about wearing it as he has a car harness but the first time he got giddy about going out for a walk he backed right out of it and I was left with a harness on the end of the lead and a dog sat looking at me wearing nothing! Luckily we were in the drive and not on the street or we would have been in trouble. Prior to buying it I had read that this could happen but could be resolved be buying the Y strap that slides onto the chest strap.

Perfect fit for my medium sized dog. I have always struggled getting a harness to fit comfortably and fit safely, often with other brands there was either a S M L choices and my dog always ended up in between sizes.Problem solved!!!! with so many base sizes to start with, I was initially thinking size mini as by the measurements chart. I decided to go up a size to 0 as my dog is likely to be a bit rounder rather than slimmer in the future (she's an old lady now bless). These harnesses overlap in the sizes my dog measuring 62cm girth and aprox 14kg so she could have fit a size miniThis harness has an adjustable front chest plate and one belly girth adjustable strap.

As someone who has tried several harnesses, but with little success, I was recommended the Julius-K9 by several other dog owners, so thought it warranted a trial. From day one, this excellent product has really proved it's worth. It fits perfectly, and allows for easy adjustment, should the need arise. More than anything else, our cavapoo loves wearing what must feel a very comfortable piece of dog kit. No chance here of her experiencing anything tight and uncomfortable behind her front legs, as the whole harness sits centrally to both her underbelly, as well as her chest. With a recent injury to her anterior cruciate ligament requiring an operation that has restricted initial movements somewhat,

I initially bought the size 1 for my staffy but it was way to big for her, the size 0 is the better size. It's easy to put on and is very sturdy and well made. I just love the flowers ? on it. The patches on the sides are Velcro glow in the dark, and much to my delight you can change them and put on what you want, so you could put on nervous, friendly etc on. I've ordered her name (awaiting)It has a press stud on top to push down the handle which is handy for woodland walks for under brambles etc to stop her getting stuck. I could even buy LED light strips but maybe that's going a bit too far and my shopper holic coming out ?. There is even a slot for a torch on top for night walks!It's a great harness,
