Cool New Features
This No Pull Dog Harness from PoyPet has a lot of cool features. Over the years, through customer reviews and testing, the company has upgraded some of these features to fit the needs of every dog owner looking to take leisurely walks with their furry friends. I’ll go through these features of this non pull dog harness so that we’ll get a sense of what the harness can do and how it can help us.
Functionality (4 Paws)
The first feature, maybe the most important feature of a no-pull harness, is the 2 leash attachments that it comes with. This harness comes with a front and back leash attachment. The front harness is there for discouraging your dog from pulling. Every time your dog tries to pull away, it will make him face you and not pull. The back leash attachment is there for control when your dog gets used to walking by your side and not pulling away. However, don’t think that this will solve the problem of your dog pulling when back on a collar. This harness is just a tool to help you train your dog.
Security and Ease (5 Paws)
Second, comes the 4 snap buckles. Instead of trying to insert the harness on your dog’s head while he is trying his best not to let you do that, this harness allows you to wrap the harness around your dog’s neck hassle-free.
It has 2 snap buckles for the belly, and 2 snap buckles for the neck. This securely fastens your dog on the harness and you will be able to make full use of the front leash attachment to discourage him from pulling you. Although try to get the correct size for your dog, otherwise the harness might be too loose, that your dog will be able to escape from it, or too tight that it may cause chaffing on your dog’s skin.
Design (4 Paws)
The last feature is the design of the harness. It is designed for maximum comfort, safety, and adjustability. This new design is built with non-toxic breathable mesh fabric that is soft to the touch. The reflective strips on the straps of the harness give it its safety feature. These strips will reflect the light shone on them. These will especially be great when walking at night or taking a hike early in the morning.
There is also a soft, padded handle on it that will surely be a feature used when your dog is near you and you want total control for when another dog passes by for example. It can also be used as a seat belt loop for when taking trips using the car. The straps are adjustable to get the perfect fit for your dog.
Over-all the PoyPet No Pull Dog Harness is a great product with its lightweight design and comfortable fabric. This will surely help with training your dog to not pull your arm off when taking a casual stroll in the park. Although, just remember that this is only a training tool and not a solution to your dog’s pulling problem. Consult a dog trainer/behaviorist if the problems persist.
Customer Feedback
Aside from my own opinions on this dog harness, here are some other customer reviews to assist you in your decision-making process:
Pogepi03 says that it is sturdy and secure! They love that it doesn’t have to go over the head for the dog to be able to wear it.
AG353 wrote “Great Harness for pulling dog”. I guess it can even handle an alpha dog’s pulling strength.
Carlotta is very satisfied with the durability of the product and can handle her Yorkie mix’s adventures in the dog park.
How does it compare?
Here a few No Pull Dog Harnesses that are in the market that could help you compare the No Pull Dog Harness of PoyPet:
Copatchy No Pull Dog Harness
The Copatchy No-pull Dog Harness is one of the cheapest harnesses around. The design of this harness might not give the best comfort to your dog as the others but it will surely give the support you need for a pulling dog. It only has 1 leash attachment at the back, unlike the one of PoyPet’s which has 2. The harness’s design does not have support in the chest area as the harness wraps around the neck of your dog. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, this one will still do its job.
BABYLTRL No Pull Pet Harness
This No Pull Harness of BABYLTRL is the sturdiest looking one yet. It comes with 2 leash attachments like PoyPet’s. It also has reflective strips on the harness for night walking. The downside that I saw for this product is that the handle is not as comfortable to hold on to when your dog starts pulling. Although, price-wise, this is a cheaper alternative that has almost the same feature as PoyPet’s No Pull Dog Harness.
TRUE LOVE No-Pull Dog Harness
This may be the most expensive one in this category. TRUE LOVE’s No Pull Dog Harness has 2 leash attachments. This is designed with an Oxford fabric and also includes nylon webbing around the harness. This may not be as comfortable as the mesh lining of PoyPet’s but it sure will be sturdy enough to keep your pulling dog at bay.
