Ezydog Harness - has anyone here used one?

Has anyone used one and if so, were you pleased with it?

I need to get Dexter a new harness both for when he's in the car and also for when we go to the park and he's on a long line.

Cheers

I had them for my two and liked them, only minor criticism is they did slide around the body a little on a longline - but then again I've yet to find a harness that doesn't! I liked the broad chest plate for using them in the car, I know they're not car harnesses but I imagine in an accident the chest plate would spread the pressure out nice and evenly.
Only reason I switched was because Casper figured out how to shrug his way out of them and kept doing it, so made it no good for on a longline, we had to go for the Ruffwear harness because of the belly strap making it escape-proof (so far, so good, at least!)

My three each have one , like Krlyr I find they do slide when on a longline , but takes seconds to adjust back to its original place so not really a worry

No idea why but wearing them has also stopped my dogs from pulling , a minor miracle in itself , lol

Many thanks




Cheers to everyone who has kindly answered, I will take on board your feedback. I don't really want a harness that will move around while Dex is on a long line so am thinking this harness may not be the best one for us.

Thanks again guys

I think the nature of any harness design means it can slide around - the only kind of design I would think would prevent this is a very tight fitting one with no gaps around the 'armpit' area for it to move. Even the Ruffwear harness I have, with their 5 different points of adjustment and solid body panels, slide to some extent.

Here's an example of the EzyDog sliding - do bear in mind that this was a foster doggy who wasn't used to being walked on a longline though so it took her a few days to get the hang of not running off.



And you can see here, even the Ruffwear slides around a bit

Many thanks - lovely dogs, as well!

I'm looking at various harnesses but won't rule out the Ezydog

I prefer the quick release harnesses as they seem to fit better than the original harness on my two.

Not only is Finn a stunner but he models extremely well. We dont see enough photos of your two

Harvey has an ordinary Ezy harness and we have been pleased with it. Think he looks very smart in it

Katie has a very pretty Rogz harness, dark maroon background with pink [girly pink of course] design. Hers was bought purely on looks and it does look well on her
