How to Fit and Use the PetSafe® Easy Walk® Harness

The PetSafe® Easy Walk® Harness was created by a veterinary behaviorist over 15 years ago to stop light to moderate pulling. It puts pet-parents in control of the leash and is recommended by vets and trainers.

The patented front clip d-ring with martingale loop reduces leash pulling by steering your dog and provides more control of your walks. The quick-snap shoulder and belly straps allow you to fit the harness in just a few minutes. Our perfect-fit guarantee ensures it will fit pooches of all proportions. And, if your furry friend decides to turn the harness into a chew toy, we have a 1-year chew damage replacement policy for a minimal fee.

I rescued a red nose pit walking down a 4 lane street by himself and it was a program just walking the 60 lbs of muscle, Magnum.
This harness improved the walking experience 80 pr cnt .. .instantaneously! Each subsequent walk has improved slightly.
Close to magic.


I do struggle immensely with putting the harness on....almost every time. I find it dizzyingly difficult to get the straps to lay in the correct position.


Don't this thing. It will change your life.

I rescued a husky puppy about two months ago. She is estimated to be about a year old, and was in terrible conditions. I doubt she had an actual owner, and if she did, then they probably just kept her tied up outside (she walks in circles constantly which makes me think she was maybe tied to a pole or tree). Basically, I really doubt she was trained. In the short time I've had her, she's learned all the basic commands and tricks, each in under a week. She is a very smart dog, but she is HYPER. The hardest things for her to learn have been not jumping on people and not pulling on the leash. At first, not only did she pull, but she walked in circles instead of in a straight line. This caused me to get a regular back-clipping harness and an extremely short leash so she didnt have space to leave my side. This somewhat worked, but the pulling was still consistent. The harness had a front clip as well, but it was a little big on her so it would pull away from her chest whenever I did that. I found the Easy Walk harness, and it seemed to immediately work. Not perfectly, but I saw a huge change. I have been trying to keep her at my side with treats, but most of the time she is so excited to be on a walk that she doesnt care about treats and so she keeps pulling. She is 31lbs and gaining (was malnourished and only 22lbs when I found her) and I got a size medium. It fits her well with all the straps adjusted to their maximum. NOW, the main issue I have with this is that she still pulls slightly, causing the chest straps to pull towards me, loosen and sag. I figured this happens because the material is a satiny, almost slippery nylon. This causes the buckle to loosen with any sort of slight movement/pulling. This only happens on the chest strap, though. I've found a way to fix that. If you have basic sewing skills, you can just sew a piece of decorative ribbon along those straps where the buckle will be touching. You might even get away with just gluing it on. Make sure it is not a satiny ribbon. This makes the buckle have something better to grip to. The ribbon I used was slightly more narrow than the strap, but it worked really well regardless and I noticed it does not loosen whatsoever. The harness I got was black because it was the only one in stock so the ribbon adds a bit of flare. If you have this same issue, please try this out!

Thanks for the video! After fitting it correctly my rescue is much happier with her walks and so am I!

My first experience with the Easy Walk Harness was amazing! For the first time my 90 pound dog didn't pull at all. He didn't even seem to have a desire to pull. I'll come back and post an update in a week or so and let you know if the first day was fluke but I don't think so. I'm glad I tried this before resorting to the pinch collars.

Thank you so much for not only this g eat and very helpful video and instructions, but for a truly outstanding product! I have an 11 month old Bloodhound, Duke, who is right around 145-150 lbs. Ever since I brought Duke home when he was only 8 1/2 weeks and 19.5 lbs, one of our favorite things to do was to go on long walks 2-3 times a day. Even as a small pup, Duke was always a puller, and very strong, always wanting to follow that Bloodhound nose, and although back then it was manageable, he would pull me all over the place, and although he is very smart and is very good at all the basic commands like sit, back up, down, etc, the heel/walk beside me training was one challenge I was not able to train him on. As the months went on and as he grew bigger and stronger, walks became more and more stressful for me, despite me trying different leashes, techniques, collars, etc, with him literally dragging me all over until some time ago, he nearly dragged us both across the road. I was just about ready to give up when my dad bought this wonderful harness for Duke for Christmas, and words cannot describe how amazing this harness really is. It is incredibly easy to fit and put on, and it only took Duke 3 attempts at pulling on the leash and being redirected before my boy was walking right beside me like a gentleman. We actually had a nice, leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, something I was beginning to think was never going to be possible. If you are having similar issues with your dog, I highly recommend giving this harness a try, I honestly can't say enough good things about it. So sorry fir such a long post, I'm just so happy and excited to have finally found something that works and to be able to enjoy my walks with Duke! Thanks again so much for such a great product!

Took me some time to get this right. This is what I had to do. Thumb rule, make sure to get both the rings at the place where they say, behind the legs, even after you doing all the elongating or reducing the shoulder strap. Your go to strap is the shoulder strap, everything else will automatically fit in place, once you follow this rule.

I was so confused, Thanks for this video. I watch a few seconds and put it right on.

[jlm]

This harness literally worked on the first walk!

[HumberFlyer]

Absolutely Can't believe how good they are, right from the off. I think they must be coated with magic dust.

[anh-thumai]

It’s a game changer for me and my 70 lbs Doberman puppy.

[Edonaus]

This harness is amazing instantly worked for my staffy who had a bad pulling problem

[omgharajuku]

Thank you! I'm watching a dog with this type of harness and couldn't figure out how to put it on.

[Mrpamperedpassions]

This works amazing for my black lab 🐕 dog that weighs 95lbs.

The instructions are very detailed and complete, plus this video promotes a deeper understanding. Thank you very much for this excellent product. 🥇🐕🐕

[bunniesackftw]

Amazing my husky used to pull so much now she walks right beside. Not all heroes wear capes 😭😭😭

[NAJErEa]

I have a pink EZ walk harness for my bully baby and it is indeed a great product. however I have been putting it on totally wrong lol so again, a testament to how good of a product this is. thanks so much for this instructional video! Im going to go put it on my baby the correct way in a few minutes lol beautiful dog too! purebred boxer! gorgeous! and what I loved most about this video is how gentle the woman was with the animal. and how they distracted him with treats during the harness fitting and adjustment segment of the video. :)

[highfive]

Good idea for a product! I don't want to step on toes, but... well, I probably will anyway. It isn't malicious, I promise.

I wouldn't recommend treating or talking to a dog excitedly if you're trying to get him to walk by your side. I say this because treats and praise generate excitement for most dogs, which makes it more difficult for them to control their speed.  

Instead, use your body language (relaxed, happy), a loose leash, and maybe a calm pat to tell your dog he's got it right. They're incredibly perceptive, they'll figure it out and still be stoked to be walking next to you.

[blackdogxx]

It's a good product and it's only a product. It will not teach your dog to walk at your side perfectly. You are still training him to stay just slightly behind you so he can see and feel your leg and hand at his head. Don't let him get in a habit of 'forging' ahead. He is on YOUR walk and YOU are the leader.

[thenutritariannurse]

Just bought this at Petco. Store staff assisted putting it on and it worked instantly. Wish I’d purchased this before the other harness and retractable lead.

[steveharris]

I must say, as tutorials go, that was very well explained !!
