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.

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,

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 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!

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.

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

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.
