I finally bought Sir Galahad his Choke Free harness, just now. We have one that I like okay, and it seems comfortable enough. However, it's a fight to get it on him when I'm a half-zombie first thing in the morning and he's bouncing everywhere like he's on doggie-crack. It also mats his fur up something fierce.

This is the first time I've ever debated NOT telling my hubby what I just spent $30 on, lol!

I am glad you found a harness you like. I just use the step ins but the only time I use them is for walks

Yes lets see some pics! Have you tried pulling the hair out of the harness after you get it on? Of course that would not be easy if your dog is a tweeker lol.

OH no, I won't have it for a few days, I bought it online, lol. There is one pet store in my area (PetSense), and they don't carry those Choke Free harnesses. A bunch of people have highly recommended them to me (you know, the leather ones with the little paws on the sides they velcro closed up top and have the leash ring through them) for Galahad though.

I've worked on pulling the fur out of the harness area but he fights me and yeah, he's a tweaker dog, lol. It still ends up matting no matter what I do with the harness we have now, and since I have to take him outside 8-10 times a day (not counting morning and evening walkies) to potty, we just end up leaving the harness on him. The Choke Free will be SO much easier to get on and off him so he only ends up wearing it for outside time.

I promise, I'll post pictures as soon as we get it in, hehe. Anything new I get for him, or for around the house, it's like a new toy and I have to play with it immediately!

My Maggie used to mat really bad under her arms, I assumed because of her harness. She no longer does. Not sure why. Can't wait to see pics. I have been wanting one of those harness' for a long time now, so tell me all about it when it comes!

I've been eyeing one of those for Max. I have yet to find one that he likes and that doesn't bother him. How do you like the fit...was the sizing pretty accurate?
