Choke-Free Harness (I ended up with it afterall). - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just ordered once - purple metallic no less - for Cali, but I am nervous about the fit. I e-mailed them but the answer was not very definitive. I'll know more about the fit when I get it. She has long hair and most harnesses have been a bit of a problem with matting where the harness rubbed on the hair when she walked/ran. We will see.

I have a 17 inch metallic blue leather harness( like Brit has) that I want to sell. I ordered it for Sammy but I should have ordered 18. brand new.. no tags

Brit, did you buy the Paw Rider too? I was looking at these and I wonder if anyone has used them:

Welllll, I ordered it and it is very nice, but it is too large so I have ordered a sizer smaller. If anyone would like a good deal on a purple metallic step in no choke collar I'll make you a good deal. It is a 13". PM me if you are interested.

I have two of the leather Choke-free harnesses for Roxie - pink with little paws and metallic aqua with little flowers. I love them, and they've stretched and softened the more she's worn them. The first one I ordered directly from their web site, but then I found a local specialty pet store that is a distributor of Choke-free products. It was a few bucks cheaper at the store.

I also got the seat belt adapter and it's great. Roxie actually prefers to ride in SO's car with the adapter, than in my car with the car seat. She seems much more relaxed with the adapter. I also picked that up in the same pet store.

I saw one of these a while ago when I was looking for choke free harnesses....it wasn't as fancy as these are! I kept the picture of it and am going to try to make one....However...seeing these and the pretty colors I just may buy them instead! I didn't see pricing though...did I miss it somewhere? Are they expensive?

Roxiesmama · 08-10-2011, 02:38 AM

I ordered the first one from sassypup.net and it was $36.99 + tax and shipping.

The second one I purchased at USA Dog & Pet Shop in Palisades. It was around $26 and the seat belt adapter was $29. If you check the Choke-free site, they do list other licensed retailers if you don't want to order online. Maybe there is one near you.

The leather harness was snug the first few times I put it on Roxie, but it did loosen up significantly the more she wore it.

on size for a new puppy? He's currently charting at 19oz @ 7 weeks. Would like to get one before we pick him up a little over a month from now. I can't wait

Harrysmum · 10-17-2011, 07:31 AM

Good afternoon!

I'm in the UK, and was weighing up the Buddy Belt v Choke Free for quite a while - we can't get them over here, or anything really like them!

With the brilliant help of sugarmama (thank you again!!) I decided on the Choke Free - and we've never looked back. Ended up having it shipped over from Freida's Boutique in Florida - Dee there was so helpful including explaining exactly how to measure etc. (returns would be tricky!!!).

The only problem I had was choosing the colour - but that was kind of decided for me as my husband said he'd only walk him in the black one!!!

However, I can feel a few sneaky baby blue/purple ones coming on (well, it's nearly his birthday, Christmas, Easter etc.......!!!

I'm glad to hear that Frieda's still is selling online. We really liked her little shop in Cocoa Village FL but when Mary had to sell b/c of cancer we were very sad both for the loss of her shop and her in Nov 2010.

Im anxious to hear also as my little poopy is 19 ozs. at 14 weeks and sizing may be a problem!

Harrysmum · 11-02-2011, 12:55 AM

Good morning!

I thought it would be a problem too - and England's a long way for a quick pop-in to check!!

However, online, Dee at Freidas Boutique talked me through the process and the measuring etc (just behind the shoulders, round the girth, in inches, keep it snug, add an inch etc.) she was marvellous. And it really worked - as does the Choke Free!!

Hope you manage to sort it out ok! Sally + Harry x

I have the Buddy Belt for my girls and they even have the liners for the long hair dogs that can mat easily. Buddy Belts, Buddy Belt Harness - FunnyFur.com and when I put their sweaters or jackets on them, then I don't need the liners. Also this is what I have to attach them in the car. It's quick and easy to change them around and works in the bike basket. Pet Auto Safety Restraint Strap - black
