EM harness

Can anyone recommend a harness for my 6 month old pup. He is 115lbs or so right now he flips out if we try to lead him with a collar. And honestly I prefer to use a harness as well. He has outgrown 4 harnesses so far. The one inch nylon harness just look miserably uncomfortable on him. He doesn't pull with a harness and is easy to walk. We take him every where we can. We fo to pet stores, parks and ge really any where they allow a dog into. He is so great with strangers I will eventually register him as an emotional support dog. So I need to continue to socialize him. Any recommendations are welcome

We‘ve been using a Kong XL harness. We don‘t use it that often (usually regular colar), but it seems to be very robust and big enough (he weighs about ~160 lbs). I‘m personally a Kong fan, as their products have been very durable (at least in our case). I believe it cost $25. I can look up the exact model if you like, but you should be able to find it in most pet stores.

Have you taken a look at Ruffwear harnesses? I think you might like the Webmaster.

I really like the Ruffwear Webmaster harness for hiking, but its a bit much for day to day walk I think. I also have the Balance Harness, Freedom Harness, and SureFit Harness. I like the Balance Harness for my Dane, but it took a long time to get it adjusted correctly. I don't like the fit of the Freedom harness for my Dane, but it worked really well for an English Mastiff I fostered. The SureFit is my favorite for my Doberman.

I went with the Kong XL comfort harness. It allows him to grow up to a 49 inch chest. I don't think he will outgrow it anytime soon (hopefully) . He seems to like it a little more than his old one.

We have never had any issues with this one. It seems to be very robust and offers a lot of growth potential as you mentioned.

I picked up an XXL from ruffians pet store... It's the walk right harness... Works wonderfully.... The store had to order it in....took a bit to get it. I use it when ever I take Bella to the city.... I use it to seat belt her in the bAck set. And I get no pulling when I walk her with it
