Now we’re getting somewhere! Excellent explanation, very clear and understandable. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Great video! Your Mastiffs are totally awesome. I was researching dog harnesses for large breed dogs and thank goodness came across your video. As a former Dog handler and Pet Sitter, I have always dealt with various size dogs; I am trying to help my housemate find the proper harness for her St. Bernard who currently weighs 200 lbs. I mostly deal with him, so, walking a large breed dog who is reactive isn't much fun. Your video has helped me narrow down the search for her and him. The cooler months are his favorite of course and I'd like to take him out more, but, don't want to be injured again so I will be looking into helping her find the right harness per your wonderful video. Again, thanks! Flo Saforo
Dang, thought this video and your excellent product discussions brought me to the perfect harness for my Great Pyrenees. She is ridiculously friendly and reactive, urgently wants to greet everyone and everything. And she's of course strong, the pulling is very difficult for my aged, arthritic hands to manage. I've been through several allegedly "no pull" harnesses so far without success. Saw the mention of Duo, and I went to their website, watched videos for the Direct harness. Looked perfect, but then I saw the $180+ price for the large size. Can't spend that much on a harness unfortunately. Will keep looking!
Yes I do use a harness and I have a Golden Pyrenees that is almost 2 yrs and pulls and has some fear issues of dogs and people. I really liked this video and need to find a better harness. Thanks
Thank you so much for this video, one of the best ones I’ve seen. Also, your dogs are beautiful.
I have 2 large breed dogs. My 5 yr old female is a Rottweiler, Husky, German Shepard mix. She’s about 100lbs, and I have the truelove harness that I got off of Amazon when she was younger (about 1 yr old), it helped with her pulling and reactiveness to other dogs. My second dog is just a pup still. He’s a Bull Mastiff and Dalmatian mix. He’s 9 months old and already 80lbs. I’m currently using a rabbitgoo harness on him, it’s helping. He’s young and still obviously learning, but we’re getting there.
Awesome! Thank you so much! I'm thrilled this video was helpful. I haven't heard of the rabbitgoo harness. I'll check that one out. I have a new harness coming soon that promises to be a "no pull" harness, so stay tuned for that test. My Junior is still too friendly when he sees other dogs, so we are going to test this out.
I have a Dane/Mastiff mix and I use The Perfect Pace. It is a head halter leash combo and it was the only product that I found to work well to stop my dog from pulling. A vet tech suggested that I try a no pull head halter. The only problem that I find with these products is they don't make them in big enough sizes for Large breed dogs or they are not well constructed.
I couldn't agree more with your last statement about sizes and construction! Honestly, I have more leashes and harnesses in my laundry room - I could open a small shop to sell them all! And of all of those that I have, I use two regularly. So you are spot on! I'm hoping my channel can bring awareness to brands to pay more attention to the needs of big dog owners for this reason! That said, my Junior has Wobbler Syndrome, so I never recommend halters, leads, or collars that fit on the head and put pressure on the neck. I'm not saying they don't have their use... but for us, they aren't a good fit. I'm thrilled you found something that works for your Dane. I will look this one up. I will also tell you my plan is to do more videos on how to train a reliable loose-leash walk. I feel that is at the root of the issue for most big dog owners and even a few great tips will go a long way in making walks more enjoyable. :)
Thank you BDM for this information. I have a 178lbs bull mastiff and have a hard time finding harnesses for his size.
I tried an easywalk harness on my dog - yeah, it helped with pulling, but it was awful for him. It restricted his movement *so* much despite being properly fitted (according to PetSafe's guidelines), he was going up stairs like an old dog with arthritis when wearing it when normally he can bound up and down them like a spring chicken. I just can't justify continuing to use it for my sake when it's clearly so uncomfortable for him :/
I'm going to give the PetSafe 3 in 1 harness a go since I reckon that'll be better for him whilst still being able to manage his pulling.
Thank you for this
My pleasure! Glad you liked it!
Thank you. Great video
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!
I know there are good options for large breeds, but I have a very powerful Jack Russell that can pull out of a standard collar, and several harnesses I have bought, which have stated strong clasp, have all busted open to release the kraken when she sees another hooman or dog. They were the full vest type of harnesses. On to keep searching.
Hummm, this is a much different challenge than I'm used to. One thing that comes to mind is that the Duo Harness I mention in this video works with compression on the chest so it doesn't rely on a clasp. Perhaps something like that would work better for your JR? Here is a link to their site... www.duo-gear.com/discount/BIGDOGMOM
@@BigDogMom Thanks. I'll get this one!
My Jackie sounds the exact same, I have the halti no pull (the one from the back) and I find it's perfect and he cant escape it, so really gives you control without pressure on the neck, it's great for small dogs, I wouldn't however try one on my GSD I dont think it would work as well
Great info. Outtakes hilarious!
Thank you so much!! Glad you liked them! Haha! 🤣
Your dogs are absolutely beautiful! ❤
Loved your video. I have a 10 month old female St. Bernard puppy named Farrah. She’s a little over 100lbs and expected to reach 160lbs like her mom. I’m interested in the full body harness and she is professionally trained and does well with loose leash walking. Still growing so which one do you recommend? Thanks!
this is so useful, thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
I own a lovely Malinois and Lab. Both trained well and raw fed which I am convinced puts their minds in a great place. I am looking for a great tandem leash. I am so lost on pros and cons on which one to purchase.
Yes
Yesss, I would love to learn more about how to train my pupster to loose leash walk :)
Stay tuned! We will be covering that in some future videos for sure.
Great video. Thanks for that. Do you use a seatbelt for your dogs in the car? If so, do you use the same harness or a different one? TIA
i have a great dane puppy 5 months old 61 pounds im looking for a harness for swimming
I have a Rottweiler husky mix who is 90 lbs, we use a harness for him! It is from a brand called “rabbitgoo” off of amazon and we have had success with it! It makes it much easier to take him places!
That is fantastic! I am not familiar with the brand. I'm so happy you have had great experience with it! A 90 pound Rottie/Husky would be a handful if not under control.
Beautiful dogs!
Thank you so much!
I have a question, are there harnesses with no clips, buckles, or latches?
What would be a good no pull ( German Shepard sized 1 y/o SD in training) harness
Definitely check out my blog post linked below the video. I give tons more detail about the harnesses I recommend. There are going to be pluses and minuses with each one and it's really a matter of personal preference. I am hoping the top 7 list in that post will get you started in finding the perfect one for your GSD!
I, too, live in Arizona and have two big dogs that are brothers one litter apart. They are "Mountain Mastiffs," with dad being a Bernese Mountain Dog and mom being an English Mastiff. One is 100 lbs. and his "little" brother is 120. I like the larger, fabric harnesses you showed. Any recommendations?
I have a Tibetan Mastiff. He weighs 225lbs . He is 37" around the neck and 52" behind his armpits. I can't find anything that will fit him. Any ideas?
Will you also show how to put one on
I will be doing another harness video soon, so absolutely! Any particular brand you want to see?
The best Big dog harness is wgv harnesses if the dog pulls
I've never heard of that one. Thank you for the information.
What store do I get it from I need a 4 x
Is there updated links please
I'm happy to post any links you need. Can you clarify which ones you are looking for?
Are the 2 full harnesses crash test rated? Meaning did they pass?
Why am i watching this video, I have a barely foot tall havanese that walks in a heel position, not a huge mastiff that pulls 😂
Haha! I do the same thing! It may be a sign you need a bigger dog... 😉
@1:00 Really human...
