Blue-9Buckle-Neck Balance Harness, Fully Customizable Fit No-Pull Harness, Ideal for Dog Training and Obedience, Made in The USA, Blue, Medium/Large

Love it. 3 buckles + many points of adjustment + not having to slip a closed loop over this guy's head are the best features. An unexpected bonus is that the colored dorsal (back) strap is made of a webbing that is strong, but soft for less chance of a hand burn when using it as an emergency handle during a lunging episode. (If you have multiple nylon webbing leashes, you know the difference. They look alike, but some are perpetually stiff and just painful. This webbing is excellent.) And MADE IN THE USA? Wow. Worth a few extra dollars right there. And it's a quality harness.This collie dog is very long bodied and lean, but deep-chested and with a smallish neck, so most harnesses are far too loose near the head, too short on the back, and can chafe his armpits. The typical padded harness is also too fat between his front legs. I want a harness that clears the whole shoulder blade for free movement, but with clip options on both chest and back. I want a harness that can't be wriggled out of. I'd honestly prefer padded for most uses, but we also need a webbing harness for swimming and certain sports. Boy, this balance harness is terrific for all that.Yes, the dorsal (back) strap does slide around while walking, as mentioned by some reviewers, but that's expected for a harness that is not giving structure, but rather fitting a dog's moving body. The portion that goes around the neck needs to slide, too, right? And of course this does. Not a problem. For me, the sliding issue is just aesthetics you can get used to, and expected especially with a design that has one encirclement of the torso. A webbing harness is naturally going to provide a different experience than a more structured, somewhat stiff padded harness that brings its own architecture. Some readers will understand the imperfect analogy of a bralette versus padded underwire. Which is better? Preference.Having just the dorsal strap colored works for me. A flash of pretty, but much easier for me to work out what goes where. I'd be in a lot of trouble with just one color.One reviewer mentioned no instructions. I sympathize with anyone confused by buckles and straps, because I have great difficulty figuring such things out. But I thought the illustrated "Fitting Tips" tag that came attached to my harness to be super-helpful. Blue-9 also has a couple of very clear videos on their website and YouTube with titles like "How to Properly Fit Your Balance Harness." Worth checking out.Mr. Slinky Dog's favorite part? He says it's just terrific being kitted up for a walk without having to be brave and stick his head into a thing.

Exactly what we've been looking for in a harness. Our 45lb Piper loves to walk, hates all of the harnesses we have tried. This one was easy to put on and once we got it adjusted, it was a perfect fit. Now I feel comfortable and safe walking her.

I've been eyeing this harness for a long while - when it finally went on sale I bought it in 2024 end of summer. I've been using it on and off since and the photos I added are recent.What can I say? I love this harness. it's very adjustable and moves with the dog, despite it sliding around sometimes I prefer to leave it a little loose as I use this when we're training on a long line, doing sport activities like hiking and love to use it for play time as well. I got this to add to my summer harness collection because of the zero restrictive movement and the fact that it's minimal fabric so it won't add to overheating!It's super comfy for short-haired dogs, I assume short haired and even hairless dogs will find comfort in the fabric. especially as a neurodivergent person texture bothers me easily at times. the quality is spectacular and everything has remained as durable and pristine as day one.I don't really use this for no-pull training, i'd say it'll be okay if your dog isn't lunging and just pulls. I'd rebuy this again for future dogs and even foster dogs if i can - it's a frequently used harness especially on days where i just wanna snap and go.Also I find it's a great bonus that this can be made a step in harness or wrap around harness if your dog is gear shy/head shy! many ways to clip it on!

I purchased this harness for my seven month old Australian shepherd puppy. I had a very hard time getting it on him and adjusting it. He chewed it in half when he was sitting down, because it actually buckled somewhat.

I love this harness, easy to adjust and stays balanced on the back. Light weight and Dries quickly.Went a size up from what seller recommended for my dogs breed.Size L works best for my German shepherd and size M/L for my Border Collie.

The harness is difficult to fit to my little mixed breed dog. The leash attahments, under the chin and on the back, should be reversed.

Absolutely love this harness!The orange goes great for hiking in the woods. I wish they had an all hot pink one since everyone thinks my pup is a boy lol.Holds a strong puller. Never had one break. Front clip does wonders for a dog who pulls.Washes great and looks brand new even when covered in mud all comes out.M/L fits my 80 lb black labrador with room to spare.Just bought a spare for future use just in case the company stops selling them! If this company stays around i would not recommend any other one to a friend or family and would use for all future dogs!
