My dog is an escape artist and has managed to teach the other two how to get out of the harness. Is yours more 'escape proof'? Medium sized 30# dog.

As long as you get the right size for your dog, it should be quite "escape-proof".
897082
I cannot imagine a dog being able to escape a harness as long as you have the proper fit and it is fairly tight. No way my dog would be able to escape this.

The only way a dog it going to get out of this is if they are laying down with their legs out in front of them... and they pull backwards... in that case, yes, they can get out of it... That said, while walking and standing up, it would be very difficult for a dog to get out.

Yes, If u can c photo there r 2 adjustable straps one around the neck and one around the belly, no escaping out of this harness.
897085
NO it is not. By design, it slips over the head then buckles behind the front legs and around the ribcage. To have it so tight the it could not pull out of it would be most uncomfortable for your dog.

This is definitely not escape proof. It tells you in the instructions not to use this for a tie out situation. If you're holding a lead and you hold it straight up the cat can't get out. When they have leverage against the lead they can back out fairly easily. The best plan is to not let the cat pull against the lead. I've always been able to grab him before it became a problem.

The harness is designed in such a way that it reduces the dogs ability to pull. I noticed a difference when I put the harness on my Roxi. She's not a big dog but at 25 pounds when she pulled she would choke and strangle with a regular collar and I felt like I was killing her! This harness puts the 'pull' on the shoulders and puts pressure to stop the pulling. I'm not exactly sure on how it works but it does. Roxi pulls less when I put on this harness and we have a more pleasant walk. She also loves squirrels and when she tries to chase them now the harness doesn't cause her to choke. You can see from the picture the point of restraint is on the chest, not the throat. The harness is designed in such a way that it reduces the dogs ability to pull.

I have 3 dogs, one small and two medium, that have had them on for 5 months now with no problems. I have heard stories of people trying to use them with a leash and that didn't work out so well for them because of the breakaway feature.

My 75 lb lab jumped out of the back seat when we opened the door and it barely resisted. The stitching in the strap came undone. I still think it would help slow down momentum in a car accident but it will not completely restrain them.

I feel that it will keep her from backing out. the harness is like a t shape...it goes over head up under each from leg and snaps at shoulders...that's why I got the harness for my 100 lb lab..mainly got it for her because its a snug comfortable fit and doesn't pose the risk of hurting her neck..

I have a pitbull/lab in mine and she has not escaped, where she has in other crates. We did use a chain and hook on the doors to be on the safe side, but so far (1 year) she has not escaped. Worked great for us.

I do. My dog travels with two harnesses on. I lock both into the dog seat then remove the traveling harness when I reach my destination. The walking harness stays on. Hope this helps...

I would not think 'jumping out' would be a problem. My bassett/lab mix has never shown that he could jump out of the enclosure. However, if you review some of the customer reviews on Amazon, there is video footage from one customer that shows her dog climbing out of the area. The dog appears to be a Yorkie.

I don't generally loosen the straps each time I take him out. It was harder when he was a newborn because I didn't want to hurt him wrestling his limbs out of the harness! But now he is a few months old and actually moves his arm to help me get him out. If I have to tighten the harness while he is in it, I try and figure out how much I need to tighten it before I buckle it since it is really difficult to pull the strap to tighten it while it is buckled.

I found that unless your dogs are used to riding in an enclosed space they will have trouble staying calm in an enclosed space. I tried a carrier such as this with my 2 miniature dachshunds and they quickly learned how to open the back zipper and let themselves out of the carrier. I ended up having to return the carrier.

with my 22 1/2 pounder I checked into dog harnesses, they don't have the velcro security I feel I have with the ones made for cats, if you can find one made like the kitty holster instead of just straps, measure girth and neck size and go to a pet store and see if they carry the vest type, usually all they have is for little tiny dog.

Yes it is. Too easy. If the dog pulls hard it will disconnect. That's why I returned it. A trainer warned me, but I disregarded the warning.

Depends, how high can your dog jump? If he can jump high, the covering will not prevent him from slipping out.

The key is to take the tension off the cord that tightens up around the dog after you have put the tension on. They it just pulls over his head and out from under his legs. Getting it on right is harder. You have to make sure the leg loops are in the right place when you slip it on and that the ring with the pull cord is up and in the right direction. It takes a little practice, but it's a great harness. My dogs like it and willing help me get them in it--probably because they know that means they're getting out! Hope that helps.

Yes, but not while the harness is in use. If the dog is wearing the harness while at rest or play the straps could easily loosen allowing the harness to slip off. I do not recommend keeping the harness on 24 hrs a day.

No, you could probably improvise something. My dog is older and doesn't try to get out.
