Great Dog Harness

By EMH Ranked #41 - Dog Packs and Accessories November 3, 2009

I have a skinny 60lb lab/hound who LOVES to hike. I got this harness for him (size Medium and he uses it on the tightest settings) recently, and am so glad I did. He's a great hiker, but occasionally is intimidated by steep rocky slopes, or icy spots. When this happens, I just clip a leash to this harness, and pull him right up. Usually he can get his legs in position to help out my efforts, but sometimes I do end up actually pulling him straight up, and the harness works just fine for that. I wouldn't "rappel" him (too risky), but I believe that Ruffwear has recently released a new product that is safe for dog-rappelling, so I would recommend that instead.

All in all, a great product. I get a ton of comments about the harness from other hikers, most of whom have probably bought their own by now!
