This is an awesome harness. The materials feel high quality and are easy to clean dust, mud and sand off of. The harness provides really great support, supporting the chest, ribs and waist/tummy of your pup if you were to pick them up using the handle. This harness has been especially helpful for my dog, who is missing her front leg. In other harnesses, the lack of support/straps around her chest and neck would make the harness fit more loosely thus making it less effective. The Flagline harness, however, fits nicely around her neck and chest. I attach her leash to the center clasp of the harness right at the midpoint of her back, and this offers most stability for her balance. If she tugs a bit, she will not be yanked awkwardly off balance. Overall, highly recommend this product. If I ever get another dog—I will be getting another one of these.
