In search of a harness for walking Are there any harnesses I should stay away from when purchasing one for my new pup? |
The only caution I would give is to make sure the harness holds your pup securely, especially if your pup is an escape artist. If your pup is a puller, make sure the harness does not put any pressure on the neck. Supervise your pup with any new harness to make sure your pup doesn't try to chew the harness off. Always store harnesses out of reach when not in use to prevent it from becoming a chew toy. |
I don't know of any specific ones to stay away from, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the buddy belt harness. It's what I use. And if it's properly fit, it's just an amazing harness. A great design, no pressure on the neck area, impossible to escape out of. Great harness. |
I second the buddy belt. Both of mine have the leather ones we got from Maximo. Ours are several years old and are holding up very well. |
Popular choices are Buddy Belt, Puppia and Gooby. They have a lot to offer. :) Kristin (Maximo) is the BEST to get Buddy Belts from! :) |
I would stay away from all but the buddy belt :D I love them! |
I guess it is the Buddy Belt. I am assuming I will have to but another as he grows. Thanks! |
Just looked up the Buddy Belt, it will not dig in under the front legs? I was looking at this one online because it looks comfortable Hip Doggie EZ Reflective Sport Vest | dog Harnesses | PetSmart |
I would get the Buddy Belt - I have it for all of mine. I have 4 dogs and 5 buddy belts. Oopsie. :p |
The buddy belt harness is great! |

When I first got them though, I used the Easy Walk harness (from Pet Smart) that hooked from the front to train them for walks. |

Some dogs will be more sensitive. There are liners available, but really, they aren't necessary for the soft as butter editions. If your baby is still a puppy, not full grown, yes, you would have to move up in size over time. The Buddy Belt is a great investment though -- my boys' primary black ones are 6 and 7 years old with lots of walking mileage and still look fantastic. |
I resisted buying a buddy belt for a long time for two reasons. I'm too cheap to spend that much, and I like to see and try it on in person first. But after looking everywhere and buying several harnesses, I couldn't find one that didn't make him cough and that he couldn't get out of. So I bit the bullet and ordered one. They are wonderful! They put no pressure on his neck at all, and so far he hasn't gotten his legs out of it. It's very soft and doesn't rub. |
Buddy belt I would like to try the buddy belt for my 5 month old siblings. I am walking them every couple of hours for potty training and would like for them to be able to wear a harness all day and for sure, I would take it off at night. For those of you that recommend the buddy belt, would the puppies be comfortable all day? Thank you! |
