HurttaWeekend Warrior Dog Harness, Raven, 18-24 in

I am an 82 year old long time animal protection/rescue/sanctuary provider well known in the national Animal Welfare Community, so for me cost of an animal product is always secondary to quality. Over many years using a wide variety of dog harnesses, I have found that the Hurtta harnesses have consistently met my expectations in terms of security, fit and function. To a slightly lesser degree, I have found the Kurgo and Ruffwear harnesses to be more than adequate, depending on type and purpose.I selected the Hurtta Week End Warrior harness for my 3 year old rescued black/tan terrier partner. She is a power packed 50 pounds of energy, intelligence and love. However, it is her intense prey drive to hunt small animals that needs to be held in check by a secure harness. Her explosive prey response to small animals has resulted in her slipping loose from both the Ruffwear and Kurgo similar type harnesses. The Hurtta has resolved that issue by providing maximum durability with unique engineering designed to prevent your dog from escaping by slipping, twisting or backing out of harness. Hurtta's use of heavier material and wider straps also add to the security offered by this harness. This much improved harness security has allowed me to relax and enjoy my 3 daily walks with my partner, no longer having to always be anxious and prepared to react to small animal encounters and the possibility of the dangers resulting from her slipping the harness.Selecting the right size harness to fit your dog is probably the most frequently stated concern and complaint stated when one reads the numerous consumer questions and reviews. When viewing many hundreds of these reviews, questions and ratings, I learned that this Hurtta harness had, by far, the fewest complaints regarding sizing and fit, while having the most positive reviews expressing satisfaction with fit. Now I can be added to the Hurtta list of satisfied with size and fit customers. Worth noting that Hurtta offers 5 size choices, one more than either ruffwear or kurgo, which may well be the reason Hurtta has such favorable size/fit ratings and reviews. My partner is wide in the chest weighing in around 55 pounds. Her measurements; 29" chest, 16" neck. I ordered the size range: 24--32 inch. Perfect fit with ample room to lengthen or shorten the 4 adjustable straps. Hurtta's heavier/wider straps, ample padding and functional design also improve both fit and comfort.As far as function is concerned this harness is designed to be very easy to put on and take off. It is also designed and fabricated using very durable materials maximizing comfort strength and durability. All stress points and attachments are secured by special stitching as stated in the Hurtta's Product Description overview. Only use over time can validate some of Hurrta,'s product claims, but so far so good. I can attest to the functionality regarding leash attachment and ease of control while dog is running, lunging or twisting in the air. All of which I allow my dog to do while leashed so that she can improve mobility and strength given our limitations on free roaming exercise. Hurtta has the best reinforced, very large metal D ring leash attachment. Once the leash swivel is attached to the extra large D ring the dog is able to learn and execute very quickly a wide range of maneuvers. Soon I was able to routinely coordinate those maneuvers greatly improving our time on the leash. I use a 20' lead rope looped to my wrist that I constantly coil and uncoil as I walk and she exercises and explores.You need to know that there is no leash attachment option under the front of this harness, only the one D ring at the top rear. Hurrta designed this harness for the active dog to pull, run and change direction while on the leash.More expensive, but well worth the price. Like I say, I never consider cost above my dog partner's well-being and our shared enjoyment. Hope this review helps some like-minded dog partners.

I have a Shepherd dog that escapes from every harness except this one. This harness will last the life of your dog. My last dog had this harness for ten years. I bought another Huerta harness for my new dog. The old one is still in perfect shape if she gets bigger. Throw it in the washing machine often, looks good as new.

Very nice, seems a level above some of the others, but the shape seems a bit off for my dog. He seems to find it comfortable enough and has great movement ability, and the quality seems good so I'm keeping it.A few notes:*I would never use the handle on this to lift him or support him, or do anything more than hold him back temporarily if i needed. Seems solid, but would put immense pressure on my dogs ribs if I used it to lift.*Feels almost like a super lightweight life jacket, with the fabric, the spongy feel, and all the buckles*I'm within the measurements they gave by inches on both sides, but it:• rides higher up towards his neck than I wanted, seems like it could put pressure into his neck which is what i was trying to avoid• and there is a lot of sag in the long chest piece that goes under him. I've tightened the neck and chest straps and it doesn't affect this sag.....And he's a spaniel and all of his ears and ear fur fill the small neck hole and makes it hard for his head to slide out when I'm taking this off 😆All in all, seems great for a proportioned dog but doesn't quite jive with what my dog needed fit-wise. I probably should have stuck with a harness that had more adjustability, but I'm not disappointed in this one.

I really like the color of the green on this. It’s a great harness and it sturdy enough for my very active black lab. My lab is 70lbs and is so I purchased size 24-32 inches. It’s tighter around the neck than some other harnesses I have so just make sure you measure that. I happen to like that it’s snug but comfortable around her neck because she cannot escape so easily by backing out of the harness. The clasps are sturdy but not difficult to engage. It’s nicely padded and very well made as most of the Hurtta products are. I did purchase the matching leash (see photo) which I also like.

This is the only harness I use for my dogs! Have 5. They do not wear out. Easy to fit. Love having the handle sewed into the top of the harness so that I can control my dog if I need to without yanking on the leash. It helps with one of my dogs who likes to pull when we go for walks because I can control him from around his chest and not strangle him with his collar leash around his neck. The lease attaches with a D ring around the shoulders of the dog and is centered over the shoulder blades.It is reasonable price for the sturdy product you get.

I have basenjis and I ordered the 18-24 size for my young dog with really poor leash manners. He pulls, and worse, lunges at cars, dogs, squirrels, birds, basically anything that moves. I've used buckle collars and no-pull front harnesses. All it's resulted in is frustration. I worry about him hurting himself and he gets a negative experience when he reaches the end of his leash. This harness allows me to walk him without worry and re-train without frustration. The harness itself is well made, sturdy, reflective at night. I liked it so much I ordered two more for my older basenjis who still pull from time to time.

ordered 45 / 60 for my dog who measured those exactly. and at full extension, couldn't get it over her head. liked it so much, ordering one 2 sizes bigger.Update : 2 sizes bigger was way too big. Returned, waiting on the one in betweenUpdate : the middle size fits perfectly with some leeway for growth.

I bought two harnesses for my two medium sized dogs. One is a very keen puller and likes to move fast away from stressful situations, the other one is strong and goes like a steam train when spooked. It's fair to say that these harness do a 95% job for me, as when we are out walking together I feel I lack the control I need when they are faced in a challenging situation. When walked individually there is no issue, it's their pack mentality (they are litter mates and she is in charge and he is the hired muscle). Training has and is taking place with the dogs as no product will solve problems without any supportive training. I really like these harness the most as they are neon (great against my black dogs), the webbing and the fittings are very good quality, and provide a good level of comfort even in hot weather.

This is a very good quality harness and I am so glad I purchased it for my new rescue puppy. It’s very solid as opposed to flimsy and it’s a lot more sturdy than the typical thin strappy harnesses. I feel a lot more confidence with my dog wearing this one than I would a typical harness.You don’t need to raise your dogs front feet to get the harness on, you just slip it over their head and then clip under the belly. The ring is nice is solid too, and the harness itself has little reflective bits on it for visibility in the dark. My favourite feature about this harness is actually the grip handle on the back, it has been really helpful when my pup gets frightened and I can have more control and help calm her by holding it. Would recommend, but would especially recommend for nervous, flighty or new rescue dogs.

Won’t buy another make as so pleased with these harnesses, people comment on the green one on my light Sandy coloured dog. I also have harness in black. They are safe at staying on and easy to fit with just two clicks. I like the Reflective strips at night. There is a choice of colours but would be nice if you did more colours ways as would buy more. Loads of adjustment if dog puts on weight or looses it. I like grab handle on back to settle or control excited dog.Dries quickly & can be brushed underneath can’t fault it!

Great quality, perfect sizing, very sturdy and looks nice. We use it every day on our large breed, seems comfortable and the handle on the top is very useful. The two side clips are strong enough. Very happy with it.

I was looking for a harness that doesn’t twist when walking my dog. I bought 3 Peaks harnesses from pets at home before but the style of harness I used to buy has been discontinued... After doing some research I discovered Hurtta harness and I’m glad I did. The harness is brilliant, stays in place and doesn’t twins or move. A handle is handy if you own a beagle and walk him off lead (easy to catch your dog). The harness is strong and easily adjustable. I will definitely order a other one.
