Premier's Easy Walk Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. We couldn't imagine walking our Golden Alfie without it. Unlike traditional collars, the Easy Walk Harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area. When your dog pulls on the leash, he will be guided back towards you which will naturally and gently discourage him from pulling.

Traditional harnesses can actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the “opposition reflex.” That’s the reflex that makes sled dogs do what they do. This harness redirects the pressure through the front leash attachment. And, the martingale closure tightens slightly across the chest and shoulder blades when your dog attempts to pull forward.

This harness can be challenging for some to fit as the concept of connecting to the leash in front of your dog is different than what we are used to. Please watch the video below to see how easy it truly is to attach this harness to your dog. We love ours for our Goldens, actually using the Tweener size of medium/large as our kids are 60 lbs. But, breeds do vary in size and you need to carefully measure your dog to get the perfect size for him or her. Premier Pet can be contacted for further assistance (800-933-5595; 14201 Sommerville Ct. Midlothian, VA 23113).

NOTE: While harnesses can be returned or exchanged for a different size, Premier does charge us a $9.95 to $11.95 shipping charge for this service. Therefore, that cost would need to be passed on to our customers.
 

A quick snap buckle on both the shoulder and belly straps makes it easier to get the harness on and off your dog.   A soft-but-strong nylon and 4 adjustment points provide maximum comfort and a reliable fit.   The complementary color of the belly strap makes it easier to identify each strap, while keeping the overall look pleasantly color coordinated. You can quickly see which strap goes over the shoulders, and which goes under the belly.   Available in 8 sizes, there are 3 “Tweener” sizes – petite/small, small/medium, and medium/large.  Designed to fit dogs whose girth and chest proportions do not fit within the 5 traditional sizes, these “Tweener” sizes bridge the gap. Dogs with especially broad or narrow chests may get a more accurate fit with Tweeners.    Click below for fitting instructions and usage.

The Easy Walk Reflective Harness provides the added safety of extra nighttime visibility! Highly reflective strips are woven into the nylon, making your dog visible up to 1,000 feet. The harness comes with a free coordinating reflective leash. These harnesses are only available in red or black, and are not 2-tone. Reflective leashes are also available separately.

Fitting Instructions
IMPORTANT: Please read and understand all instructions before using the harness on your dog!

Identifying the parts:
1. The chest piece has a martingale loop with a “D” ring for attaching the leash.
2. The shoulder strap is made of the same color nylon as the chest strap and has the Premier fabric tag.
3. The belly strap is made of a complementary color.

Fitting the Harness (The Premier Way) Open the quick snap buckle on the belly strap. Place the shoulder strap over the dog’s head with the chest strap resting on the dog’s chest. Tighten belly strap to a comfortably snug fit. On medium-sized dogs, only allow room for a      finger’s width under the strap. Allow a bit more for larger dogs, less for smaller dogs. Gently press fingers on the lower part of the front of the dog’s chest to locate breastbone. Adjust the shoulder strap so that when the chest strap is horizontal (parallel to the ground),      the chest strap rests directly over the breast bone. AFTER you have tightened both the shoulder and belly straps to allow a finger’s width under      the belly strap, adjust the chest strap to fit securely. It should rest nearly parallel to the      ground, not “hang down” or gap.

You may need to remove the harness to make these adjustments. When the shoulder strap is fitted correctly, the chest strap should resemble a horizontal line (parallel to the ground), and it will rest      directly over the breastbone Attach the leash to the D-ring on the chest strap. Fitting the Harness (a puppy kindergarten instructor's way) First you place the harness over the head like a collar, with the D-ring in front, and the bottom strap hanging loose. Adjust the top strap so that the two rings on the sides are about 2" above the dog's elbow. Then adjust the band under the chest and fasten it. The harness should be snug but not tight. Adjust the front strap so that it rests halfway between the point of the shoulder blade and the 'knee' of the dog. The D-ring should be      in the center.

Using the Easy Walk Harness
The Easy Walk Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. And, it’s easy to use, requiring virtually no acclimation period or specialized training. If your dog forges ahead of you, gently pull the leash to the side to turn the dog towards you. As he stops pulling, be sure to release the tension on the leash. Use praise and reward your dog with treats and/or petting. To slow your dog when he is pulling ahead, apply gentle pressure to the leash, pulling gently toward one side of the dog. Release the pressure on the leash when the dog is walking nicely next to you. 

We do NOT recommend using the Easy Walk Harness with a retractable leash. With a retractable leash, the dog is “rewarded” with additional leash when he pulls ahead. We want your dog to learn to NOT pull ahead. In addition, a retractable leash will always apply a slight constant pressure, teaching your dog it is okay to continue pulling. Please remember to check the fit regularly, especially on growing dogs. And, not leave the harness on your dog unattended.
