This was bought as a replacement for another K9 harness we already had for our cockapoo, she has grown in the year since we picked up the first one so the only reason another was purchased was because she needed a slightly bigger one, it is not a reflection of the product or its performance, more our weakness in giving out treats to the dog!Below is the review for our original purchase and all of the points raised remain valid after a few weeks of extensive use of this new one, quality is not diminished and the dog is happier as she now has an extra notch on her belt :)---------------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.

It's been hard to gauge the right size harness for my Lakeland, as she's an 'in-between' size in most reputable brands of collars and harnesses like EzyDog and Ferplast, smaller than a spaniel and bigger than the average Jack Russell - she's around the size of a Border terrier but much sturdier as she's a high energy breed and (even though she's nearly 8 years old) she runs for miles most days. With the Julius K9 harness there's no metalwork to rust apart from the 'D' ring on the back - she goes in the sea regularly, and all her previous Ferplast harnesses' clip hinges rusted after a few months and stopped working. After much deliberation and reading through the previous hundred reviews by other people I ordered the 'Mini-Mini'

Having a large rescue who was described to us as a "puller" and had little walking experience, we decided we needed a durable harness that could stand up to his strength. Knowing that the K9 harnesses were used by professionals, we figured we would give it a try, and I'm glad we did.Before purchase, the harnesses come with clear and concise instructions to help you find the perfect fit for your companion. The harness was easily adjustable to our dog's shape once on, and we could adjust it to his form as he lost weight and gained muscle over his time with us. It has durable and strong security clips that are easy to unclip,

i originally bought this in size 3 from pets at home when his harness snapped whilst we were in there they gave me a size 3 said it would stop pulling and be wonderful well i went back 4 weeks later as my George had ripped off the back ring with his pulling they couldnt believe it and said must be faulty and replaced again 7 weeks later same happened they checked for teeth marks and found none so i went to write to julius and read up about the harness for a start he was in wrong size hence the strain on the ring and material i found out it has to be measured by kneck and chest gerth properly so i thought i would try one more time but from amazon pets at home think im nuts lol and wow i bought

Lovely sturdy harness for my strong young lab. It fits snug around him with plenty of space to expand as he gets older. I really like that unlike a lot of other harnesses, the chest strap actually sits where it’s supposed to, around his chest! I got really frustrated with other harnesses sliding up to above the chest and resting closer to the neck - this one doesn’t which is fabulous. The whole thing just seems like it’s made to last and some of the simplest features like a large D ring attachment, strong clip and highly reflective/glow tabs make it so easy to use and good for day or night walking with a strong pup. If I could fault one thing it’s the handle.

Totally great for our two German shepherds. Both approx 40kgs and the harnesses come with a sturdy Velcro straps & a large O ring to attatch the lead & a strong grab handle for those tricky situations to hold onto your dog .Having had this brand style harnesses for the past five years i can safely say they have never failed to be up to the job of going on decent safe walks and holding together when they have been tested as a result of a deer running out or fox/rabbit and really did hold out well by the handle till the creature eventually disappeared and was safe to release the dog again .Brilliant harnesses and highly recommended for most dogs in my opinion.I hand wash them in a diluted mild

Size 1/large for Boxer pup.Good thing is it's lasting him from growing between 18-28kgs, and still probably got 3-8 months in it until fills out. Still only u month old.The Velcro allows for quite bit sizing but you couldn't do while out and about as have to take off. It's more to do with back part arch shape to how long fits.No stretch in this harness.V sturdy, no sign of wear... bar the mud ? prob just damp cloth to clean if could b bothered.. Mayb in spring!Generally v pleased, have bought the chest D ring attachment to add as he's in training for not pulling. And a double ended lead.But it also means u can have a bit looser but still all holds in place.The top handle is saviour as when he's playing with other dogs he will not stop till I grab him!

After a lot of research of different harnesses, I decided to purchase the Julius-K9 in size 2 for my two chocolate Labrador’s. I bought the aquamarine colour for the male and the dark pink for the female. They both measure around 84cm around the chest and they are both around 40kg in weight or just over. I did think about getting the size 3 as their weights were on the top end for the size 2 but I’m glad I went for the size 2 in the end as they fit perfectly and there is plenty of scope for adjustment, and the size 3 would definitely be too big. The harness is so easy to put on as it just slips over their head and then it’s just one click to fasten it around the chest area.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Please check for correct size as these come in a vast variety of sizes and it's so important to get a correct fit. Measure chest girth just behind the front legs for correct size. I bought the mini-mini size for my 10 week old Shiba Inu puppy and he's still wearing it at 4 months and twice the weight, thanks to the generous adjustment at both the neck and chest, with plenty more growth adjustment left.He loves wearing it; whenever I get it out for walkies he sits up wagging his tail waiting for me to put it on over his head and clip in round his chest. It's so simple to put on and take off. He once managed to slip out of it after I loosened the chest strap too much following a growth adjustment.

If I could have given this product a 10 star rating I would. I love, love LOVE it!I'm disabled so taking my 11 month old dog for a walk can be difficult, especially because wee smarty pants is a puller! Um, not any more he's not.Normally I wear a Halti hands free belt which helped a lot with his pulling;however, the first moments of him realizing he was going for a walk he goes nuts with excitement and I normally end up being yanked out of the door. With the Julius K9 Powerharness this has put paid to his nonsense. I admit I wasn't sure how effective it would be but from the start I'm elated. My dog can no longer pull me out of the door, and upon venturing down to the local park he walks without pulling.

Bought this back in may and am still using it 7 months later. Bought a size 2 L-XL for my 40kg akita female and it was the best purchase I have made for her so far. The straps go accross and around the chest and do not rub, and although it took a week or so to find the right adjustments it barely slips anymore. It only falls to the side if I pull her sideways. The metal ring is sturdy and very large which means my lead has plenty of moving room and she doesn't get tangled when out on the flexi! - a problem we had with our old harness. Another difference is that she doesn't try to wriggle out of this one, our old one she would wriggle backwards to try and escape when she got spooked,

I’ve been buying these harnesses for years...in my opinion the best.However....I’ve had some difficulties with our new puppy getting the right fit.The mini mini is too big...and the Baby 2 which I have here would be perfect except,,,The way the whole harness is fitted is crucial,,..it’s imperative that the front band sits exactly right round the neck in order that the harness makes the dog weighted in the middle when lifted Via back ring.It is this feature which sets this harness apart,,,it is terribly practical, and there been many a time when my last dog was airlifted to safety!So this Baby 2 harness is indeed the right size, but the design flaw lies in that front band,

We purchased the size 2 harness specifically based on what the sizing guide provides here at Amazon and it's a perfect fit. Our boy is a cross between a GSD and border collie and due to that, he's inbetween two weights and two sizes, making finding a harness that fits snug for him a difficult chore.Not only did the sizing fit which was a treat, the actual harness is made with nothing but quality materials. Our boy doesn't pull drastically so we've not noticed a difference in the pull in comparison to other owners, however he does lunge for other dogs as he's a bit of a rocky past (rescue dog). The handle at the top has been a life saver. I can safely lift and carry him across any terrain,

While my puppy still wears a collar with her ID tag on, we use a Julius K9 harness to clip her lead on when we go out for walks. There’s plenty of debate on why a harness is so much better for your dog’s well being than being led on a collar, and it doesn’t take much to realise why. The loads and forces that come down the lead are spread around the body of your dog and not concentrated on their neck. I’d not really thought about it until shopping for our puppy prior to getting her, however especially when on her longer training lead your dog can already be at quite a speed when they reach the end of the lead’s travel and are brought to an instant stop.

Julius is the best harness you could by. The offer different styles and sizes to fit any dog and there needs. If you have a stronger dog this is ideal as the harness clip is located in the centre of there back which is perfect to give that little tug or nudge in the right direction. Great when use with Flexi Lead for recall training as dogs will feel as if there off there lead. Little flick on the lead allow the dog to learn the response to come back in addition to calling out. There great products made to a extraordinary high standard for even the toughest of dogs and chewers. Product is stitched well, has adoptions for flash light or other accessories and the craftsmanship won’t fail you.
