Purchase Direct from Freedom Harness Inventor Freedom No-Pull Harness ONLY (1" Wide Medium (23"-28"), Black w/Silver Loop)

This harness is attractive and well made, but the sizing is off. First I ordered the large, based on the sizing chart, but it was huge. (I have a 55 lb, 9 mo old GSD mix.) Then I ordered the medium and it was roomy everywhere except the belly strap, which was too tight and chafing my dog. I contacted the seller to see if I could get a larger belly strap. At her request, I spent time sending her pics and my dog's measurements, only to be told that it wasn't possible to swap the belly strap.Although the sizing issue is frustrating, the main reason for the 2-star review was the seller's attitude. She told me I ordered the wrong size and I should have gotten the large. I explained that I had and it was way too big, so I got the medium which fit well except the belly strap. She insisted that sizing is correct, and when people complain that the belly strap is too small it's their problem--either they bought the wrong size or they're using the harness wrong. She said it can't be used with just the front attachment (even though the Amazon listing clearly says it can be used from just the front, which prevents pulling, and was the whole reason I bought it). She said it's Amazon's fault that the listing is wrong. All in all, I was really unimpressed with this seller.

This is the second Freedom Harness I've bought for my dog... the first one is almost as good as new, after 2 years, but badly needs washing! This is the MOST FANTASTIC harness design. I have a very strong 50-lb pit bull-boxer mix who is sweet, but a real handful. I bought several other types of harnesses, some pretty good, but this is THE ONE that helped me manage my little girl and teach her to walk like a semi-civilized canine. It does not seem to cause any discomfort, but the martingale at the top does seem to discourage pulling. When I first got it I was still using the front (chest) attachment for the leash, which really helped discourage pulling, and gradually we were able to move to using the top ring. The soft, thick velvet (top quality) lining of the lower chest strap is very gentle on her skin, too, important because she has quite a thin coat there and is very vulnerable to chafing. For those of you new to this great, wonderfully designed and effective harness, be aware that as with many harnesses, you'll need to adjust the straps, especially the "belly strap" a time or two at first, as the fabric straps seem to relax a little, but adjustment is really fast and easy, and after the first weeks I have never had to readjust. This is a long-lasting, quality product that I would recommend to anyone who loves their dog and wants the best for them, especially dogs that are a bit difficult to walk, that pull etc.

This seems like a very well-made product. Both of my dogs are right in between sizes medium and large. I ordered the large. And it was a bit too large in the chest. When I tried to return it. I read there's a 50% restocking fee? Unfortunately I had already ordered two medium harnesses. Amazon would not let me cancel my order for some reason? When I checked return item. It just came up as a white screen. And would not let me confirm the return. I have contacted the seller directly several times. To try to cancel the two mediums that I ordered. No response. I hope that these fit. And are not defective. As it seems like a good harness. A 50% restocking fee seems a bit much. Amazon Prime is much better with returns. I will update this review. If the seller does something to make this right. Otherwise I have learned a valuable but expensive lesson. NEVER order anything that's not prime eligible!

I have tried many harnesses over the years and it was almost comical that every "no pull" did absolutely nothing to stop my dogs from pulling - that is, until now! I am still amazed at not being pulled around when my dogs wear these. I make sure to stop all forward movement when they start pulling and they got the memo very quickly. I like the front clip option for redirecting as one of my blocky headed girls is very enthusiastic about bee-lining to her favorite things (most things are her favorite things). And the velvet lining on the strap under the belly is so nice for my shorthaired, sensitive skined dogs.

We have tried many different types of leashes and harnesses for our strong boxer. The best has been a head halter BUT he shakes his head wildly with it when he wants to fight it to get near a person or another dog and it makes him look wild and rabid. The freedom harness is awesome because it way reduces his pulling compared to a collar or traditional harness and no more crazy rabid dog prancing when we are around other dogs. He still pulls some, but I can continue to control him with one arm and I finally enjoy walks again and am no longer embarrassed how my dog reacts around other animals. Also, I don't have to worry about damage to his cervical spine like with the head harness. So no it won't stop pulling completely but will reduce it about 50-70% and I am super happy with the product.
