The big-dog files: owners of 120 to 200 lb pullers, in their own words
“He pulled so hard he would choke himself.” – Brian C., verified buyer
Some of these dogs outweigh the people walking them. Here's what their owners told us, with the product each one reviewed.

Some dogs aren't big. They're big enough to walk you. These owners wrote to us about theirs.
Under each name is the product that review was written about.
170 pounds, and she pulled
Nebula is a 16 mo/old 170 lb Irish Wolfhound who pulled me around on walks. Her Team K9 harness allows us to walk or play at the beach.
A 142 lb Bull Mastiff and a 109 lb owner
Gilbert is a 142lb Bull Mastiff who loves to pull on his walks.. lol I am a small woman 109lbs. This harness has given me the ability to control him much better!
120 lb, and the front ring
Kristina G. explains what the front ring does, and when it doesn't:
Upon putting this on Kaifaru who is a 120 pound Cane Corso he stopped pulling. When attached on the front ring, as soon as he starts to walk too far out in front, he not only stops pulling but he turns back towards the person walking him.
Until completely leash trained I would not recommend putting it on the link on the back because that does not prevent pulling.
Thor, 135 lb
Brian C. wrote this in January 2023, about our 10-in-1 Full Harness Bundle, before the 4-buckle harness existed:
I have a 135 lb, 20 month old Alaskan Malamute named Thor.
I was the only one who could walk him because he pulled so hard he would choke himself. It was a battle everyday until this. Now he's a completely different dog on walks.
Blind, and still leading the way
Kim C. wrote this in a review of our custom name patch, so we can't tell you which harness Winter wears:
Walking Winter was definitely challenging the past 7 years. Though he’s blind, he leads the way and always pulls. He’s as strong as an ox. This morning was quite different. Such a pleasant easy walk. I wish someone told me about this years ago.
Finally, one that fits
For the giants, the first problem is fit. Three owners on the Extra-Large, including what they'd change:
We have a 200 pound St. Bernard and struggled to find a harness that fit. This was the first harness we found that fit perfectly and looks like it was made for a giant size dog.
FINALLY found a harness that fits our 180 pound St. Bernard. It’s strong and made well. One suggestion would be that there is way too much Velcro on the top and sides of the harness.
This is a solid harness capable of handling anything your dog can do. My 197lb 2yo rambunctious Mastiff. My only wish would be that another larger size was available. While the XL fits it’s a tight fit.
Will it fit a giant dog?
Extra-Large is made for dogs 120 to 170+ lb; the size guide in the order box shows the chest for each size. Annette's 200 lb St. Bernard fits it, and David says the XL is a tight fit on his 197 lb Mastiff. If the first size is not right, the exchange is free within 60 days.
How the harness is built
A front ring for dogs that pull
Clip the leash to the front V-ring. When your dog pulls forward, it helps redirect that momentum back toward your side.
Pressure across the chest, not the neck
The vest spreads leash pressure across the chest instead of concentrating it at the neck.
Built for strong dogs
1050D nylon, box-stitched joints, four quick-release metal buckles and metal leash rings.
Padded, adjustable, quick to put on
A soft padded lining and adjustable straps. It goes over the head, the rear straps buckle, and you adjust it to fit.
A top handle
For close control at doorways, crossings and busy places.
A collar vs. this harness
| A collar | Team K9 no-pull harness | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the leash clips | At the neck | A front V-ring at the chest, plus a back ring |
| Where the pull lands | On the throat | Spread across the chest |
| Close control | The leash only | A reinforced top handle |
| Hardware | One buckle | 4 metal quick-release buckles and metal rings |
Is it hard to put on a big dog?
It goes over the head, then four metal buckles click shut. Off is the same in reverse.
I love how easy on easy off it is.

★★★★★“XL size is perfect for our Cain Corso with room to expand if needed and leash is great for training to walk beside. Both are very well made and the metal clips are nice since he is 132 pounds, less chance of them breaking.”

★★★★★This harness fits Shiloh well, looks great, and has really cut back on his pulling!
Stephen N. Verified buyer -
★★★★★Jade’s vest fits great. We love the new pink camo on her. Also love this new one with the metal buckles on all of the straps. Her last one had plastic buckles & one cracked a while back so we couldn’t use it.
Lynette B. Verified buyer -
★★★★★We love the harness. After a few minor adjustments on our first few walks it’s perfect. Extremely secure, tough and durable. All things required with a staffy that’s 88 lbs of muscle. Also highly recommend the leash as well. Would buy again 100%
Monte L. Verified buyer -
★★★★★It is so easy to put on and take off. The metal buckles are heavy duty.
Kim B. Verified buyer -
★★★★★Great well made harness that has made walking my German Shepherd’s a joy. I feel more in control of them with both dogs pulling less than with a traditional lead.
Janet J. Verified buyer -
★★★★★I absolutely love this harness! I am ordering two more for my other two Corgi’s!!

Questions before you order
Will it stop my dog from pulling?
The front V-ring is a no-pull design. When your dog pulls forward, a leash clipped to the front helps redirect that momentum back toward your side, which makes it useful for everyday training. Among its five-star reviews, 240+ mention pulling or control.
What size does my dog need?
Start with weight: Extra-Small 15 to 25 lb, Small 25 to 48 lb, Medium 48 to 78 lb, Large 78 to 120 lb, Extra-Large 120 to 170+ lb. Then confirm the chest and midsection measurements in the size guide. If your dog is between sizes, size down. If the first size is not right, size exchanges are free.
Front ring or back ring?
Use the front V-ring when you want help with pulling during training. The back V-ring is built for hand-held leash walks and everyday guidance.
How does it go on?
It goes on in seconds. Fit it over your dog's head, buckle the rear straps and adjust the straps for the right fit.
Is it comfortable in hot weather?
The inside is a soft padded mesh lining that stays breathable in the summer months, and the vest spreads leash pressure across the chest instead of the neck.
Can I add patches and pouches?
Yes. The harness has hook and loop panels for patches and MOLLE webbing for pouches. Right here you can add custom name patches (a printed pair with your dog's name and your phone number), a 12-patch pack, or single patches before you add to cart.
Can I leave my dog tied out in it?
No. It is made for supervised walks and training, not for tie-outs, yard stakes, ziplines or unattended tethering.
