Easy walk Harness scare...long

[Sara&Travis]

sammy has wiggled out of the easy walk harness when buckled in the car. then again, she has also managed to un-buckle the seatbelt in the back seat. she, too, is an escape artist. nothing, in my opinion, beats that harness, though. sometimes, we just forget how smart they are.

I have never used a harness but if they can get out of it you may want to consider using a martingale collar. It will tighten so it won't come off their head but will not choke them (it is a limited choke). This has saved us numerous times, especially since Liza has quite a narrow head. She can be such a spaz and likes to run into roads right in front of cars, if you let her. If you need a harness for pulling you may want to use both. I am not sure how but I have heard it being done before.

Just something I learned last year at Dog Scout Camp; To get the same effect as the easy walk harness at half the price or less, buy an ordinary harness that has the O ring on the chest and clip the leash on the O ring...... Same exact effect but way cheaper and I believe it would be MUCH more difficult to back out of the regular harness. In my opinion, they charge way to much for the easy walk for such little material!

Thanks for the tips y'all. I've got a Sensesible harness for Buddy but we don't use it that much. When he's outside with us, he's on his leash with his regular collar on.
