hahhaaha, yeah I KNOW what you mean! I didn't say mines were perfect little ladies either! Naboo is the worst, she will not only dance around you but she whines like there is no tomorrow! Squeekie will be so shy, she will hide behind you so we're twirling in a circle trying to get her into hers. But the Wookie boy, wow, he's so good. He will stay still until you are finished putting it on, then when your done, he will bite/tug your clothes to tell you to hurry it up already because he's ready to go NOW!

I would love to see some pictures too. I am torn between choosing Puppia soft harness and ChokeFree. I can only budget for one and I want one that is functional. I guess they both are....I feel lost..which to choose?

I have the frog harness from Affordable Petable and he doesn't do well in it so I only let him wear it at home. It choked him as he pulls that hard. I hope the Puppia doesn't go that high up on the neck/shoulder.

You guys are all talking about pulling - have you tried the Easy Walk? Loki learned to walk nicely with one and I still love it.

Carol- the Puppia vest one I have has velcro AND a clip, so it's not just velcro. The velcro looks like that's the part that you adjust and then the clip makes it secure. I like velcro for Sammy but Loki is strong like Buddy and I can totally see why you would think it's not as secure.

There are so many on the market today it is difficult to make the right
choice. I have several and not happy with anyone really until this one.
It is very easy to put on. It goes over the head, room around the chest
too after it's on then band under the belly and snaps onto the back part
of the harness on the side. You can adjust the belly band but there is no
adjusting the neck. No bulk just softness and security all around.
Hopes this helps. It is easier to get on than the last step in harness I have
been using. He had to step first one leg, then the other buy that time
the first leg was out! After getting it on there were 2 D rings to clip the
lead onto andthat was a pain because with him twisting and turning around
it just became twisted also. I don't think you will be sorry with this purchase.
It's just comfortable and easy to use. Also washable.

Are there any YTers who make harnesses like this? I had a harness similar to these for my previous boy and LOVED it. I want to get one for Epsilon but would LOVE to purchase from a YTer. We currently use a step in harness from petsmart, but I think these types are much nicer.

So all you sewers out there... you should start making harnesses like this!! =D I'd be your first customer.

Whoa, which option was that? Yeah, shipping international can get expensive.

Ok, so I looked at my pictures that I promised you guys and the pictures did not really turn out good, I'll still post it but I also did a video.

Also a disclaimer: these pictures and video is intended for pure entertainment only and in no way trying to convince anyone to get any type of harness. You are free to get any type of harness you want. I did and I did not regret any of my decisions. (I do sell both puppia and chokefree

) hahaha J/K!!! Ok, hope you guys enjoy the pictures and video!

Christine that was so sweet of you to take the time to post that.
Your babies are so adorable and I love Wookie and how he talks to you.
Adorable.
I have to say that anyone who has not experienced the soft harness
will think that with your female pulling like that it looks like it's pulling
against the neck. This is not so. It's pulling across the front of the chest
and no where near the neck. Just wanted everyone to know that and
not get confused about it.
Thank you again for posting that.

Your welcome, anytime! My fav pic is the 3 amigos

where all three of them are squished together when we walk. Squeekie of course gots to be in the middle

. Actually, Naboo is the talkative one, she was the one constantly talking when I was trying to put Wookie's harness on him, he's the one that is so patient.

Naboo is very cute especially when she is talking

Aw, Thank You! I agree that is her cutest feature, even though it gets annoying because she won't stop until she gets her way.

Thanks for posting the pictures and video. It does help to see the harnesses being used. The kids are adorable and look like they enjoy their walking

I'm excited to be getting these for Ruby and Reno and hope they like them as much as I do.

Thank you! I have you down on my list already

I love the colors you picked out and I'm ordering those colors too!

Believe me during their walk, they did not want to go home. Naboo pulled back a little when she saw our gate. hahahahaha
