Best for big dogs
This harness is personally used and recommended by Wag!’s very own editor, Kim Rain: “While this is a great harness for training dogs not to pull, I purchased this for my big dog because it is padded, doesn’t cause rashes under my dog’s arms, and has a handle on the top for me to fully control my dog in any situation. I’ve tried a few others, but this one has turned out to be the best one and has lasted for several years without much wear and tear.”
