Oh wow. It is scary. You will be so happy with the buddy belt. You can talk to Kristin about the right size too if you have any questions. She is wonderful

I have a 22 month old Yorkie and I put him a Buddy Belt after reading so many good things about the product, when he was 6 months old. HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. Re, if your baby pulls on the leash when you are walking, the leash should be no longer than 6 foot, (I have tied a knot in the leash at 3 feet, so my baby walks right next to me, definitely NOT a retractable one as you really have no control of the dog. YOU need to be in control, so when he/she pulls, you can gently pull him back so he is walking at your side. He/she will learn very quickly, just be constistant and the reward is great! Good luck.

I also vote for buddy belts...not only are try functional but gorgeous also.

If pulling is an issue get the easy walk silk harness. The leash clips in the front so pups cannot pull with all their might

Buddy Belts are the way to go. I ordered mine from Kristin when Teeka was 6 months and Tatiana was 4 months. They have not outgrown them and they look as new as the day I got them!

I am going to be ordering buddy belts for my boys!! I was waiting until I got them winter jackets so I could match the harnesses to the jackets...but Ricky's harness ripped so now it's more of a necessity.

They've got so many different colors...picking out which colors I want is hard!!

harnesses seem to be a personal choice, the best and most secure ones buckle on the top of the dog. I have the choke free step in leather and I use it under clothes that don't have d rings and you can not see it, I like it very much. I also have several from Wallmart that were less than $10.00 and are VERY secure and comfortable, they fit like a vest and both Velcro's and clips with double rings on the top of the back. I actually feel that this one might be more comfortable than the choke free.

I just tried a new style that I like a lot for $8.50 plus shipping. It is custom made to your dogs size. It is EXTREMELY well made, heavy duty cotton duck with a pad like interfacing, lots of industrial strength Velcro, comfortable fit and it closes on top with two very secure d rings and it very easy to put on. Plus she added the cutest little charm to Lola's vest. I was extremely impressed by the quality, I think it is worth more than double what I paid.

I use a Puppia step-in harness. There are different types of Puppia harnesses--I chose one that has a big velcro across the back plus one buckle. We are on our second harness because Toby outgrew the first one. Two thumbs up! I love that the buckle is one that my daughter can fasten/unfasten.

that is the same harness I mentioned I like, only mine comes from Wallmart and is less money, I would bet it is made by the same company just marketed under a different name. The styles and sizes in the store are limited, but on line there a lot to choose from at $9.99

I do like those vest step-in harnesses. They feel very secure to me. And they look comfortable.

I'm a HUGE Buddy Belt Fan! Wouldn't consider nothing but the finest for Yazmin. Kristen is also wonderful to work with.

I just bought a buddy belt for each of my boys today!! I had such a hard time picking out the colors. I spent DAYS(literally) trying to decide whether I should be practical and get a color that matched everything, like black or brown...or go all out since there are so many cool colors to pick from.

I ended up going with Dogzilla for my younger dog and Cocoa for my old guy. I can't wait for them to arrive in the mail!!

I completely understand your dilemma! Can you tell we have a hard time choosing? Can't to see your dogs in their BB colors!

You're just like me! I spend FOREVER picking out a color. I even annoy myself. Lol. I think you picked some good ones! And just so you know...you'll spend just as much time picking a color for their 2nd BB. You're going to love them!
