I love this harness! First of all, it makes my shepherd/pitt mix look like a high ranked police dog. She actually looks proud to wear it too. The straps are wide and thick material, not once has she gotten out of it or broke it after over a month of daily use. The handle on the back is great, I can quickly and securely hold her at my side when needed. She is a major puller, and although she still stubbornly pulls with this harness, it has been much more bearable. She is decent when being walked, but has a tendancy to suddenly dart for random car or passing bike, so now I can hold her by the handle until they are passed. Great harness, has held up the best out of many tried over the years.
