Carhartt Nylon Duck Training Dog Harness, Carhartt Brown, Medium

Took a few tries …
Took a few tries to get the right fit, but now that I have the correct size, this harness is awesome! My 11 year-old, 27 lbs. cocker spaniel mix does very well on this harness. I prefer to hook the leash on the chest ring becuse it really does help control pulling. The harness is a bit stiff, but imagine it will become a little softer over time. I like the rings on the back so I can belt him in the car. The panels on the torso are lightly padded and I haven’t noticed any rubbing or discomfort. I love the reflective stitching – it’s high visibility on nighttime walks. It’s a really good quality harness.

Be careful using this harness with the Carhartt Journeyman Lead w/ Trigger-Clasp
So I didn’t like this harness immediately. When I read that one reviewer’s dog could put the front piece in its mouth I thought “that’s gonna be my dog”. Sure enough, the first time he stepped into it – front piece in mouth. Immediately. Once I adjusted it, it was harder for him to reach it but he couldn’t resist trying. Now that he knows he can, he goes for it every time we step in. He’s getting over it though. I wish the top two rings on the back of the harness laid flat when not in use. He looks like he’s ready to be air-lifted to safety. I purchased this because it has two attaching options – front attaching like the easy walk and top attaching like other harnesses. The easy walk front-attaching style is the best way to walk a large breed because it encourages them not to pull by turning them around towards you. I purchased this along with the carhartt journey man lead with trigger clasp. Do NOT use this with the trigger clasp unless you are only hooking to one loop. When I attached to the front ring of this harness and the ring on his new carhartt collar using the trigger clasp lead, it immediately pulled apart and detached. Luckily he sat down and waited for me to leash him again. Then we tried the trigger clasp on the top two rings. Same issue. It may be a defective clasp. But with some re-engineering, I used the more traditional style carabiner clasp on the other end of the journey man lead to attach to the front ring on the harness and the ring on the collar. Then I pulled the lead thru the extra D-ring on the lead for a hand loop and used the trigger clasp on the top two loops for a second attaching point. By attaching him in two places, it created a pretty secure way of walking him and shortened the six foot lead to a more manageable length of about four feet. I hope this helps anyone who purchased these items together. Other than that, he looks great in his new harness and lots of people have stopped on the street to compliment him. When they walk up and ask what kind of dog he is I’m proud to say “he’s a pit bull”. They always reply and say “he looks so happy and friendly”. Walking bully breeds in safe, comfortable and attractive harnesses puts out such a better image than walking a pit bull in a prong collar with a chain. This harness doesn’t chafe under his armpits like the Easy Walk does, and the padding helps keep his sensitive skin from pulling or snagging on the joining rings. Having two points of control helps redirect his attention when he sees a squirrel or wants to sniff and pee on the neighbors’ landscaping. If you’re willing to play with this a bit to see how it can work for you, I think you’ll be pretty happy with it. Make sure you measure and don’t go by weight or by other sizes you’ve purchased in the past.

Looks great, but flimsy
I have a 12 lb terrier. We adopted him from our local animal shelter. The night we brought him home from the shelter, we put him in this harness and kenneled him in the back of the car for the 5 minute drive home. Apparently he was unhappy with this, and he silently shredded this harness during that 5 minute period. I assumed that a brand like Carhartt that’s renown for it’s quality and durability would make a more durable harness, but apparently not. The webbing is very flimsy and soft.It looked great though, and functioned well while it lasted.

Fits beagle/husky mix perfectly!
My beaski has a weird chest so most walk in harnesses do not fit her. This is absolutely perfect! It’s like it was tailor-made for her! The option for back or front walking is excellent. When she’s in sniff-mode I attach the leash on her back so the leash isn’t in her way. When she switches to pull-mode, I just switch it and she’s a dream to walk! I also love it because some harnesses are almost impossible to remove because the clasps are ridiculously tight. This one is very easy to unclasp yet secure enough that I think it would be impossible for her to get out of. Thanks Carhartt! We love your products because they just work!
