6 Best No-Pull Dog Harnesses, Tested & Reviewed

Affordable and featuring more than 42,000 reviews on Amazon with an average 4.3-star rating, the Easy Walk makes walks to the park and outings with your pup easier thanks to a martingale loop situated on the front of the harness to help prevent dogs from pulling. Should they lunge ahead or try to sniff something without warning, the gradual pressure on their shoulders helps redirect their focus without putting any stress on their neck. “It hooks at the front so the dog can't steer you; if they pull, it tightens and makes it hard to walk,” one tester explained.

Not only do our pet experts appreciate the Easy Walk’s lightweight, breathable design so pets don’t overheat on hotter days, but our testers rave about its durability that’s held up over the years as well as its ease of use. “It’s super easy to get on and take off with two buckles,” one tester said. Plus, it's available in a variety of colors and sizes so you can find the best pick for your pooch.

Another Amazon favorite, Rabbitgoo's harness lives up to the hype. Not only does it come in a variety of colors so you can customize it to your pet's style, but it's easy to slip on over their head (just keep in mind that some dogs might not like over-the-head harnesses). "This harness definitely prevented any extra pulling, and enabled better control during our walks," said one of our testers. It got top marks for fit, given its total of four adjustable straps to keep your dog secure. We also love that it comes with two leash-connection points at the front and on the back, which makes it great for training and reduced pulling.

Easy-release side buckles and reflective strips made for visibility are helpful on early-morning or late-night walks in low lighting. Our testers particularly liked the harness's cushioned panels and durability, and one GH product analyst claims it has held up for more than two years through travel, hikes, walks and machine washes. Also notable is the back handle that makes it easy to grab your pup quickly if they leap toward another dog or distraction.

With sherpa-covered straps that go under the dog's front legs, this mesh harness works well for pups with short or fine hair because the gentler fabric won't feel scratchy or irritating on their skin. Instead of buckles or clips, this harness is secured using a cord lock which makes it easy to fit to your pet's correct size, too. Although it clips in the back, it's a tightening harness, so still works well for dogs that pull.

When your pet starts to pull, the harness tightens around the front of their chest, applying pressure to get them to stop. Plus, the mesh panel stretches with your dog's body to reduce friction. But while testing, our pros found that the harness can be tough to put on squirmy pets since it doesn't unclip to come apart. It comes in four different sizes and three colors, but keep in mind that if you want the harness to fit properly, always measure your dog first with a measuring tape.

Testers loved this harness thanks to its five adjustable points, which help enable a secure fit on even the biggest barrel chests. But if you're unsure of the right size, our pet experts recommend gettting one that's larger than you need since it can get a little tight for dogs on the bigger end of the sizing scale.

The front leash attachment helps prevent strong pups from pulling you down the block, while the back leash attachment works fine for smaller pets. "It was very easy to adjust the harness to a comfortable fit and to put on and to remove," noted one tester. We also appreciated how thick and durable the material felt. Another tester's "escape artist" pooch was unable to break free from this harness, unlike some of the smaller ones they've tried before.

Long walks and hikes will be more comfortable for your pup with this harness that's built with padded front and back panels. A sturdy front loop leash attachment reminds them not to pull your arm out, while a back metal loop works well for gentler walkers. It comes in a variety of colors, too.

We found this harness to be made of pretty thick material but noted that the location of the buckles means it can be a bit tough to unclip. However, four adjustment points make it easy to fit it to your dog's body. Just note that it may not fit dogs with a broad chest and narrow waists or stockier breeds.

The harness also includes a reflective trim for added safety when you brave those night walks, along with a little pouch for storing ID tags or pet GPS trackers. "We've had this harness for years, and it's held up really well even though we have a strong dog that pulls," said one tester with a greyhound/lab mix.

Wild One's lightweight, stretchy harness comes in a variety of vibrant colors that will give your walks a stylish flare. In testing, we liked that the materials felt high quality and exceptionally soft and cushiony, making it a perfect fit for small dogs with short hair or bony bodies. "This harness is definitely one of the softest, most luxurious feeling one we've tested," said one GH analyst. It also has three leash attachment points and comes in sizing small enough for even the tiniest teacup breeds.

However, since the materials are so soft, our pros warn that it can show signs of wear more quickly than some other utilitarian options. It's available for purchase on its own, as part of the walk kit, which includes a leash and poop bag carrier.
