Product Information

It’s a piece of canine kit that divides Mumsnetters, with opinion split over whether or not a harness is more comfortable than a collar and lead, and whether it offers enhanced control or discourages pulling (it was originally invented for that purpose after all). Available in 11 colours including green, grey and neon yellow, it also features a writable label for vital info. Pros The harness contains a durable, welded D-ring to which you attach the leash, which means that you can trust that the harness will prevent dogs from pulling. Or at least the power of harness will not give (however, we cannot testify to the power of you versus your dog).
