Dog Harness Small Sized Dogs – All Weather Mesh overhead adjustable no pull Vest Puppy reflective Harness with handle for Extra Small and Small Dogs by Copatchy – Harness (Blue) X-Small

Love this harness!! Even better than expected!!
I wish I’d found this harness sooner!! It instantly improved the quality of our 16-yr-old shih tzu’s walks. It’s also super effective for our 8-yr-old shih tzu/terrier mix. If you’re on the fence about this item, you should go ahead & get it!! Here are some details I hope will assure you.Size: I can only speak to the SMALL; however, the range provided in the item description seems to be an accurate estimate that errs on the conservative side. I say this bc I’ve found it can be adjusted to fit a little smaller & larger than expected. I ordered a Small bc my guy has a big chest (19″), and it fits perfectly even though he’s  technically an XS in neck size (12.5″) & weight (14#). That being said, I do have the front neck-area portion adjusted to smallest setting for him.My other dog is on the opposite side of the small spectrum, but this harness works great for her as well, & I just ordered her one of her own. She meets small measurements in neck (15″) & weight (22#), but her chest (23″) is bigger than the suggested max of 22″ for the small. Still, the small fits her comfortably with a little room to spare (maybe 3/4″-1″ left in adjustment) even in the chest area.Materials/construction: The plastic clips are lightweight but are easy to latch/unlatch & stay secure. The material is very breathable & mesh-like, so it won’t be too hot when it gets warmer out. The handle on top lays flat, so it isn’t obstructive or annoying but seems easy to grab if needed.Design: I can’t overstate the brilliance & effectiveness of the harness’ design. It isn’t complicated or overbearing for the owner or the dog. It’s simple, and it works. I’ve tried several other harnesses & slings over the years, but they all brought more frustration to either me (in getting them on & off) or my dogs (who both hate wearing anything other than a simple collar) that always seemed to outweigh their benefits. This harness even seems less bulky than others with the same design concept, but it’s still very effective. Our very picky dogs don’t even seem to notice they’re wearing more than a regular collar.I love that this harness is secured around the sternum & under the chest, instead of through the front legs. It latches just far enough back on their chest/torso area that it doesn’t seem to cause excessive matting/rubbing from the friction of their front legs. There’s also minimal material on their chests, so I don’t have to worry about the harness causing them to overheat.WHY I REALLY LOVE IT: I decided to try this harness bc I needed something for our older dog. He’s nearly blind & has a pretty significant neurological deficit in his hind legs (has had back surgery & multiple myeloma), yet he still LOVES/lives for our nightly walks. Often he gets caught up in the momentum & will even do a hard turn down the middle of our street to prolong his walks & run down the big hill in our neighborhood an extra time. It does my heart good to see him enjoying himself so much. However, because he can’t really see & can’t fully control his hind legs, he tends to run all over the place & will inevitably run full speed into the curb unless I intervene. No matter how gently or incrementally I’d tug at his leash with a standard collar, I tended to throw him off balance in my efforts to guide him on his joy runs. I also tried a step-in harness & a sling, which have their benefits, but they restricted his movement & his overall enjoyment.This harness is the perfect solution for us. It disperses the pressure of my guiding tugs effectively, across his chest & upper torso instead of just his neck. He is able to keep his balance while I easily guide him away from obstacles. I can’t express how much this harness has made walks better for both of us.It’s also been great for our other dog, who benefits in an entirely different way. She’s part terrier & can’t help but try to chase &/or engage everything she sees. Before we tried this harness, she’d choke herself (usually lunging multiple times in a row at something as we pass) at some point on every walk. I wasn’t surprised this harness successfully prevents choking when she pulls- that’s what it’s supposed to do. HOWEVER, amazingly, it does something else that I wasn’t expecting at all!! Somehow, this harness seems to actually help me shift her focus away from the distraction & keep her moving forward. Before I tried the harness, she’d pull continually, turning sideways, backwards, etc. to maintain contact with the distractions. However, with the harness, I only have to tug once or twice AT MOST before she continues on with our walks undeterred. It’s like she’s a different dog! I’m truly amazed by how much better she responds to my guidance with this harness. I just love it! I hope you & your dogs will, too!

Sizing is a little off, but great quality
Received this for our puppy. Followed the measurement guide, however the chest is about 1inch too big even though our dog was within the measurements. When our pup is big enough for it, it will be a great addition to our walks!

soft and flexible right out of package
I won’t get into what dog how why and where. but I have had many small terriers (mostly JRTs of all shapes) . Our new pup . I ordered even hand made cotton UK soft harness but buckles were too big.I slipped this over George’s head, once I could get his teething mouth closed.. a few adjustments to equalize his neck and girth that was it and easy buckles. No step in here. No wrong leg. where is that girth strap ? and bruise your fingers sticking it through the back tab. It was soft . Not a stiff plate of knightly armor. Easy to adjust and the plastic latches and adjusters – nylon straps flowed with ease. (Thank you )(my finger tips and muscles thank you)

Great harness!!
I love this harness! It’s sturdy and SO easy to put on which is great because our puppy is restless when trying to put a harness on. I love the pink color too. It’s slightly big for our 2.5 month old lab but she’ll definitely grow into it this next month or two.

Ordered a Small, and has the “S” tag:Neck Size advertised 14-17.5inches. Actual Size 17.5-21 inches.Chest Size advertised 17-22 inches. Actual Size 21.5 – 26 inches.Item arrived with a card saving “For Any Issues Including Sizing Problems Please Reach out to us at one of the Options Below….” We did that without success.

Was too small for my 3 mon old 22 lb lab so we got a medium. The only problem is we were okay’d to return the small which we did and so far no refund or email address to send the postage cost to!!!!!
