Hi Em and Lumen,

You’re right, I definitely should not be complaining about the shipping. My 2 dogs didn’t have a problem wearing this harness and none of the dogs we saw in our K9 Nosework Class seemed to have a problem wearing it either, but if your dog is sensitive to wearing a harness I’m not sure if this one will be any different.

The one thing I really like about this harness is the stiff construction which made it much easier to put on then some of the other harnesses we’ve used in the past.

Hopefully you can find something that will work for agility.

Take care,
Colby

Thanks for the review, though I’m reading lots of positives I still don’t know whether to get one for my Aussie- she’s super body sensitive and so far most (all except one) harnesses make her super awkward. Doing agility with her, I feel bad pulling back on her collar to get her revved up and I just don’t know if this harness will be any different to all the others we’ve tried on.
In another note, don’t complain about shipping costs- I live in Australia, and to order just a MAGAZINE from CleanRun would cost me $40 in shipping. The magazine itself would cost $6. Gotta love their ‘what ships free’ section. 😉

In reply to Marjorie Ray.

Hi Marjorie!

Thanks! I’m glad you’ve learned from my blog and thank you for letting me know. We use the ComfortFlex Sport Harness for our nosework classes only because every time I pull out the harness the boys know it’s time to do Nosework. We’re testing a no-pull harness that I’ll probably write about in the near future. I hope you find a harness that works with your pups.

Take care,
Colby

I have 3 rescued dogs and I think I would start with Scooter. He is an older Cairn and has trachea issues. I would also like to find one for our puppy, Abbey Jo. She is a lab mix and is very active. Thanks Colby for your blog. I love it and have learned so much from you.

I’m so glad to hear it’s easy to put on…our dog Ralphie is so hyper and with my sore arthritic hands, I need EASY.

I am sure many would love to have a ComfortFlex Harness to try with their animals, so choosing one person I am sure will be hard. I have a 15-month old black Labrador named Faith who is training to be my hearing dog. Over the past year I have tried a variety of collars, harnesses and head collars to see what works the best. Some of them have worked, but some of them have not. This harness would allow me to feel more comfortable walking her at places due to the reflective strips and leash handle. This harness looks like it would allow me to keep it on her unlike now when I have to switch collars/harnessesndepending on what she is doing. She is an active girl who is a typical crazy lab when not training. I know this harness would be useful to me, but I know so many others want it as well. Thanks for offering one to someone as that can help prove this harness must really be a nice one.

In reply to Rissa. George would definitely benefit from the use of this harness.

I think this Comfort Harness would be perfect for Ralphie, our rescue dog. He is extremely active and bounces like Tigger. He pulls so hard he chokes himself! We have a harness for him now but it’s extremely difficult to put it on because he doesn’t stay still. I think this would be the perfect harness for our “Ralphie”.

The trainers of our nose work class recommend the ComfortFlex Harness. They do fit the dogs well.

My terrior mix uses a harness for service work, but it’s jsut a standard harness and was causing him to develope sores on his back from 24/7 wearing. I can’t use a Ccollar of any kind fro him because he has a trachial collapse issue, so when in the house my dog has no identification on him. I’d like to win a comfort flex harness for him so that he will be more comfortable when working and hopefully be able to wear it around the house so his tags will always be on him.
