Any recommendations for a comfy harness for my Breezer?

I got one from "Pets at Home" but I think it's too narrow so I worry that it's biting in whe she pulls.

My wife favours the one which clips on at the front but I'm not keen on it as I have to readjust the lead if she decides to go from one side of me to the other.

What dog and what are you using it for? I use Howling Dog Alaska second skin harnesses for walking and running mine. But different shaped dogs need different harnesses

I've got two of these perfect fit harnesses for my Lurcher:

Bought two so one can be adjusted as suitable to wear with a jacket. Great service from the shop.

I bought these fleece lined harnesses from the above company too, they're just the one piece version though. No complaints from my dogs.

I have a Trixie Premium Harness for DeeDee, nice thick padding and quite sturdily constructed. I did have a problem with the first one I had, after about 6 months one of the clips seized but Amazon replaced it without any bother.

dox-lock harnesses are great! expensive but my EBT has had them from the smallest size up to her adult size now.

We've had two types for Sam and Jet (giant mutant whippets).

Fleece lined - these would probably be okay for non-Houdini type hounds, but Sam and Jet both escaped from theirs on one occasion each rolleyes

We now have Ruffwear harnesses like this, which we're very impressed with:

Not cheap, but they are very well made, and the Houdini Whippets haven't escaped from them (yet!)

Another vote for the Ezydog harness with a chestplate which moulds to their contours. My Terrier has been using one for a couple of years and it's still in great condition.

We had a Ezydog for Vinnie but it was too narrow and rubbed on the inside of his legs. We now have a perfect fit harness from the link six wheels posted. We needed 3 different sized pieces to get it nice on Vinnie, medium, small and extra small, no wonder off the shelf stuff didnt work well! Works a treat now, nice and snug but not rubbing anywhere.

+1 for this. You buy different part so each part fits correctly.

Another vote for the Ezydog harness, that's what we have for our rather large chested bulldog, it's got a good size sturdy, well-padded chest plate. Doesn't cause him any fuss when it's on, even on the days when he wants to pull a lot... Was reasonably priced too.
