Choke-Free Harness (I ended up with it afterall). - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Britster · 07-01-2011, 12:11 PM

A while back, in the search for a perfect harness, I ordered the leather Choke-Free harness. I think the size was just too small and I ended up returning it and never re-ordering.

Kept hearing good things about the Buddy Belt... loved it but did not work for us due to sizing issues and a few other little things. Returned it.

Had just been sticking with our old nylon harness and Puppia's like always but decided to order the leather Choke-Free one more time in the size up since we are going away this weekend and figured I'd try something new, lol. Plus, I'm a collar/harness addict, as most of you know

Anyways, it just came in the mail today and it seems to fit Jackson pretty well! And it's really light (seems a lot less lightweight than the Buddy Belt) and I like that

plus it seems pretty comfortable, the inside lining of it is pretty soft. I don't know why I returned the other one so quickly, I guess it just seemed uncomfortable and tight, so the one size up definitely helps.

But anyways, I'll use it this weekend when I am away on vacation w/ Jax and let you know how I like it. I know a few others on YT use this harness.

PS - I found it on ebay for cheaper!

I have one of these also for Macy. I love it since it is so light but her armpits seem to mat up when she wears this one. Have a nice 4th.

Who did you order it from? I ordered from someone on Ebay recently who was cheaper but her shipping was inflated. I do LOVE these harnesses though

Sugar has been using this harness in brown for 2.5 years ~ I just wanted the pink

I love this harness, but it works best w/short hair. The sizing is a little tricky, you need to add 1" for the best fit.

Perrella · 07-01-2011, 04:08 PM

Oh, I have this one for Zhoie and I absolutely LOVE it. With her small frame and especially small chest/shoulder area, it works the very best for her.

Brit, please reassure that studly Jackson is NOT wearing that bright red bow!

Britster · 07-04-2011, 11:53 AM

LOL!!! No- no red bow for us. He's got the black one.

We are loving it. Used it all weekend in Gettysburg. It did not seem to ever bother him, and I think it looked pretty snazzy. I definitely feel the Buddy Belt is better quality, when it comes to the leather, etc, the Choke-Free feels "cheaper" in a way? I don't know how to explain it... but I am liking it so far!!

Hi Brit,
Yes the Choke Free is a nice harness. I was the one that said I liked them but they were not cheap. I take the harness off the 3 younger "Z's" at night to give their fur/coat a break and for a brushing.

Yes, I remember you telling me about it!

I don't leave it on him all day anyways, I always just take his harness off when he's not using it. I take his collar off at night, too, hehe. I am always worried about him being comfortable.

enchilila · 07-04-2011, 06:13 PM

You take really great pictures of Jackson and his backgrounds. Of course, it is he that makes the pictures great!

I'm going to order one of these harnesses tomorrow.

Ditto about the gang being comfortable

Lindzorz · 07-17-2011, 08:02 AM

I like it! I'd probably go with pink for Nilla. I've never measured her for a harness ... I have a feeling she's going to be a chunky monkey. She's 3 lbs now ... Wonder if I'm giving her too much Fortical / food ... -facepalm- What size does Jackson wear?

Brit, it does look like it fits Jackson great. Love the pictures, fabulous job!

This is the best harness I have found for Zhoie, because it rides back further on her small chest and small shoulders. We have the shiny pink one, of course

I also like the overlapping velco at to contact and the fact the d-ring goes through that, so there is no way if can come unhooked.
