About The Big Dog Soft Reflective No Pull Harness
For dogs who have a tendency to pull a lot when you’re walking them, you’re going to want to use a harness that allows you to control them without causing them any kind of discomfort.
The Big Dog Soft Reflective No Pull Harness has been designed specifically to keep your dog safe, not just while walking in the dark, but should they start pulling while on the leash, the harness hugs their upper torso and not the neck.

This harness is designed with a large breed in mind. The harness features an easy to grab handle allows you the chance to take control of your dog’s movements. The handle is made from high-quality nylon that will allow you to prevent your dog from rushing after the nearest squirrel, cat, or mailman they see!
The shell of the harness is made from a breathable, highly durable fabric that will dry quickly should they get wet. The inside of the harness is padded so that it is comfortable for the dog and they won’t experience any skin chaffing or bruising while wearing the harness.
Perhaps the best part of the harness is that you can buy the harness when the dog is young and you can continue to use the harness as they grow because of the adjustable chest plate. Also, the chest plate can protect your dog’s vital organs should something terrible happen and they get hurt.
What Others Say
When we looked at the user reviews, we saw that 84% had great things to say about the no-pull harness and left 4 or 5-star reviews. Of these reviews, people commented on the usefulness of the extra handle on the back of the harness.
One customer said they were able to prevent a fight between a German Shepherd and a Pit Bull by grabbing that handle. Customers have said that their dogs love to swim and the handle helps to get dogs out of the water if there isn’t a beach or ladder nearby.
Customers said the quality of the materials used on the harness was very sturdy and it was easy to adjust the harness to fit their large dog. Customers feel that this harness is a lot better than other harnesses they’ve tried because their dogs don’t mind having this put on them, whereas they had a tendency to struggle with other harnesses.
So what did the remaining 16% of customers who left 3-star or below reviews have to say? The most common complaint customers had was that their dogs were able to slip out of the harness pretty easily. Several of the folks believe this is because when the harness has been tightened, it doesn’t stay tightened.
Customers feel that because it has a tendency to loosen, it could be a problem, especially if your dog is hard to control while on a leash. One customer likes that the harness doesn’t put pressure on the dog’s neck, but they are disappointed because they have “lost the ability to guide” their dog.
One customer has also said that the collar caused their dog to show signs of severe skin irritation only after wearing the harness for a few hours. Another complaint several customers had was that their dog was able to “shred” the harness to pieces in a very short time.
