How long did it take for that to work on yours? Did it ever cause choking? After reading your review on that, I had been eager to try it out. So just yesterday, I picked one up and it was that same brand in a Petite as my girl's around 13" girth. For the first 10 steps walking her in it, it seemed to work wonderfully. She seemed to have wanted to stay in pace or behind. BUT, in less than a minute, when she pulled she started the hacking. Though it might have been because it fits a little loose? And when she pulls, it kind of slides over so the attached part goes towards the arm while what's on top of her lower trachea is just the strap. I was not comfortable using it any longer after that though so I had refunded it same day. I've been using a leather harness that rides even lower and is not a "strap" as much as it is more of a flat leather band with 2 holes in it for her legs. So it's really a non-issue with it causing trachea problems with my pully excitable little girl. But again, the attachment is on the back so, yes, she acts like a dog pulling a sled at times.

Maybe he could be their CENTERFOLD or something ! He would love it. I just love those belts...functional, yet so stylin' and cute. And even though they are a little pricey - they'll seriously last forever.

Really, the dogs they use just don't do the belts justice, and the view from the top seeing the chunky metal, on their little bodies appealed to me. I've had to lift Joey off the ground in one swoop several times, and with this harness you can do it!

That's what appealed to me to - the cute, chunky hardware - the nice leather, the little "BB" logo - just cute! And I do think too you could lift your dog right up, if you had to - bc they're that strong/durable.
