In reply to janice.

We use our Comfortflex Sport Harness only for Nosework training and haven’t had a problem with our guys backing out, but I’m going to take a closer look at our harnesses to make sure this isn’t a problem. Also, we like using the PetSafe Easy Walk Harness with our dogs to help with pulling. Here’s a link to a review we did a few years back: https://puppyintraining.com/dog-pulling-on-leash-check-our-easy-walk-dog-harness-review/

In reply to Lisa Pattison. @Lisa, I didn't notice a difference in the chest piece because I could barely get the velcro strap to connect around Linus' chest when I used the Medium sized harness. I really enjoy using these dog harnesses for K9 Nosework.

Hello, I ordered the comfortflex Sport harness. I like the construction quality a lot.
I really like the grip of the handle combined with the ring. Additionally the stiffness makes it very useful. I also like the way it folds up and tucks into my gear bag. I also noticed the dog’s hair does not wrap or grip the material which sometimes happens with other types of harness when you are trying to clip them. Perhaps the clever engineering that moves the clip up on the dogs side and moved it away from the elbow is my favorite thing. This is such a huge comfort improvement for the dog. This harness puts it all together in a nice easy package. I was first attracted to it because I was looking for a harness that would FEEL different for my dog as a cue for K9 nosework. She also does water work in harness. tracking in harness, drafting in harness and carting in harness. I wanted something with a different work message. I think this is the one!

I did notice the chest piece is high. I understand it is meant to be higher than other styles of harness. I am wondering if the next size would change the height of the chest piece. She is a 50 lb aussie. I ordered a M. I saw in the article you had both sizes at one point. Did you notice a difference in the chest piece between both sizes?
Thanks Lisa

I think we’re going to get one for our dog George. He’s a German shepherd mixed and has been pulling ever since he was a puppy.

I like the reflective strapping – it will make biking with my chow so much safer!
Thanks!

Our family had a black lab for 141/2 wonderful, irreplaceable years. He was definitely a gift from God! In December we filled the “empty spot” his loss had left us with by purchasing a female black lab, Lucci. She is definitely what our hearts needed. We are very excited about enrolling her in puppy school, and really want to pursue agility classes thereafter. She already enjoys working on the basic home training & commands…mastering them in no time, of course 🙂 Such a joy to work with! We have been looking at various types of collars & harnesses (made the awful mistake 14yrs ago of trying the prong collar with our male) and I saw your email about the comfortflex sport harness. I love that it doesn’t cause chaffing, perfect that it has nite time reflector, and looks very comfortable for the dog & user friendly… we have 10 & 12 yr old kids who will be involved in her training. It’s great that the harness allows room for the collar to remain on as well – ID tags being on her while we’re out of the house “just in case” are a family rule for us. We’d love the opportunity to “put it to the test” and provide feedback for other families in training.

I’ve tried some harness’ that are so hard to get into it’s like an IQ test to figure them out. If this is as easy as you say to get into, I’d love to give it a try.

The Comfort Flex Harness looks like it lives up to it’s name and is comfortable. Since this is something you’ll be putting on your dog and taking off all the time, it needs to be comfortable for your pet and easy to use. From what I’ve read, it seems like the company has thought a lot about the quality of their product.
