I purchased this harness for my boxer who had a front leg amputation. I wanted something that would be able to offer more support while on walks and hikes. This harness did the job!! Very well made and fits him great. It allows me to be able to offer total body control and even lift him over objects while on hikes. A great purchase.

Our Siberian has managed to slip out of three other types of quality harness. This is the only model that has kept her secure. It is designed and made well. A great harness for escape artists and dogs that tend to pull.

This WebMaster Harness probably saved my Dachshund's life. He had gotten out of every harness we bought. In a big city this is very dangerous. He can not get out of this harness no matter how hard he pulls. It has made me relax on our walks. We have had the harness about 2 months how and I can not state how wonderful this product is.

So far I am very pleased with my purchase of the Web Master Harness. My dog feels very comfortable getting in and out of it. I'm very happy with with this product.

She can't wiggle out of it.

My dogs can't pull as hard with this harness and it doesn't seem to chafe under the front legs as with some other types of harness.

My 10-1/2 y/o dog has Wobbler's Syndrome and has a difficult time getting up, going down stairs, and making turns. I don't know what we would do without this harness. I am able to assist him when he needs it. I know that I shouldn't, but we use it in his Hydrotherapy also to help keep him balanced. I would be unable to help him, and I don't know what I would do without this product.

my family and I purchased the 5pt harness which we are very satisfied. Nothing would keep the dog from getting loose on his lead except for this item...great purchase

The product is very good quality.

my dog backs out of other harness's but not the webmaster. easy to use. great fitting she is comfortable. i no longer worry she will escape her harness while on walkies. bon bon and i are happy happy with our webmaster one out of 10 its a 20. thank you ruffwear.

This is a great dog harness, very secure and well made. It is perfect. I highly recommend it.

I would highly recommend this harness for anyone needing a bit more control of their dogs. It is without a doubt the safest harness we've ever used for our dogs. We have two beagles and one of them always managed to find a way out of any collar or harness we tried. The Web Master Harness is escape proof!

Great fit, easy to put on, dog has great movement with no restrictions.

I have a Dane with wobblers and this product is excellent. It keeps the pressure off of his neck on walks, allows me excellent control, and is a great asset in helping get him up on his bad days.

I am using this harness to assist my older dog who has some stability issues. It has been a great help while she was unstable. i could hold her steady with the easy grip handle. I use it now for her brief walks in case she needs extra help. It fits well and she can wear it 24 x 7 if need be and still be comfortable.

I ordered this harness for my Great Dane puppy who had been diagnosed with Wobblers. It made the last month of his life much more manageable because I was able to give him the assistance he needed. It was recommended by others who had owned dogs that had Wobblers. Thank you so much, RuffWear for helping Kratos out in his last days.

My dog easily escapes from ANYTHING! She is unable to escape this harness. It's also very convenient because I can pick her up by the handle and move her where I want her to be. She understands the connection between the harness and getting to go somewhere. She doesn't mind it at all. This is a great product!

excellent materials, design, construction, and visual appearance. Very supportive, easy to put on and adjust

Very helpful for my elderly dog for stairs and stability

I have a beagle who was escaping from her harness. I found this product from a google search, and the "Houdini proof" claim appealed to me. This product lives up to its name! Molly has not been able to slip this harness. I would highly recommend this harness to other dog owners.

This harness is incrediable very durable and stays in place. The buckles and belts don't slide loose they still in place. Very soft belt pads she does not get irritated with them like other harness. The handle could be a little bigger on top but is manageable I just have large hands. Overall I was very impress by the product and will purchase again for my other animals in the future.

distributes weight perfectly

My webmaster harness is used for a service dog. The only reason it doesn't get a 5 star rating is due to the lack of a chest ring for a lead. I like to use both back and chest rings for different purposes. Would also like to be able to get a pallisades harness without the pack because the attaching points are perfect for a service dog's bridge and harness handle.

My old dog, Maggie, loves the harness and so do I because now I can help her get up & down the front steps without falling (both of us). At first I was concerned that she wouldn't like waering the harness, but she didn't mind at all. I think it acts like a back brace for her, giving her additional support, just like a people bace.

Our Houdini escaped this harness about 15 minutes into her first outing. She has escaped every collar/lead or harness/lead she's ever worn. We were hoping this one would be an improvement over the others

I do not know how I would have managed without the Webmaster harness. My dog weighs 80 pounds and it has been a lifesaver during my dog's recovery from back surgery!

This product is even better than I had hoped for. It takes all the pressure off my 15 year old Lab Mix's arthritic back legs when going down stairs. It has made her life and mine alot easier.

13yr old just had 'bloat' surgery. Can't get up or sit/lie down; or get up and down steps. The harness has met all we've needed it to do. Good support and she's comfortable wearing it day & night.

I originally bought this harness for my arthritic and very painful boxer and it allowed me the ability to carry and lift and balance him without tweaking out my own back. Since then I've gotten one for my GSD who has horribly arthritic knees and hips and on my friend's pitbull who has bone cancer. Its the best harness for a large dog!

I do K-9 Search and Rescue and love the way this harness fits. It doesn't get caught or snag on brush while we are searching. The only things I would ask for would be: color option of orange and a plastic protective sleeve for the dog's id. Great product would definitely recommend.

I purchased this product to help me assist my aging GSP up and down the stairs! It is very comfy for him to wear and super easy to adjust! I would definitely recommend it to anyone with senior dogs, post surgery care, injuries, etc! Awesome product! My only complaint is that I wish I would have purchased it sooner! It's a great harness for a dog of any age and very sturdy!

11yr old lab who's back legs suddenly stopped working well and front legs slowly doing the same. Still has the spunk of a puppy and this harness has allowed us to prolong his life. Fits and works great.

This harness has exceeded my expectations. My powerful 2 year old Akita pulls less compared to his previous harness. In addition, I like the two options of hooking the leash to either the metal hook or the tow hook behind the handle. My dog loves the comfort of this harness as well, thanks Ruffwear!

I have an older female GSD and decided to give the harness a try. My intuition paid off as I had only had the harness for a week when Hallie was suddenly striken with Canine Vestibular Syndrome. That was almost one year ago and the harness is still in daily use although not as critical as day one. It is of excellent quality and very durable. Some reviewers have commented on the straps becoming loose. Yes they do. It is a simple matter of a single tug and they are once again secure. My dog wears the harness 24x7 and I perfer that the straps become a little loose as she is not made uncomfortable by too tight straps when she sleeps. The straps are made so the do not come loose when lifting a 100 pound dog. More of a benefit to me than a drawback.

I got this harness about 3 years ago when my 13 year old terrier lost her sight and no longer wanted to be pulled by the collar. It also allowed for easy, safe pick up when she needed to be moved. Some of the reflective material has come off over the years and after many washings as she wore it daily. It is now retired as Rascal has crossed the rainbow bridge; however, the harness is certainly still usable. Thank you

It is true that the adjustment straps slip but with a few stitches this is easily avoidable. Overall, this harness is really the best of the best!

I have tried tons of different collars and harness't for my Bedlington Terrier and there have always been something that I did not like with them. My demands are rather high but this harness satisfied all of them. It will not hurt my dog in any way since it is well balanced. He can not escape from it because of the extra strap under his stomach. It is suprisingly easy to put on. For some reason my dog does not pull as much in this as he does with other alternatives. I think it is because he realizes that there is no way he can escape it so he does not even try to. The handle at the back is a great feature when I help him down or up on things. It even looks great and the reflects shows clearly if any light hits him in the dark. Only wished that they had the Palisades Pack in XS so I would not have had to buy the Approach Pack for him as well.

This harness is built strong with one exception. The adjustment straps that go across the chest and stomach slip. I need to adjust them after EVERY walk. I find this unacceptable in a product that is meant to be rugged and ruff/rough. Surely they can engineer a clip that would prevent the straps from slipping. Anyway, the straps slipping are the weakest link and the company should put effort into rectifying this annoyance and inconvenience. The rest of the harness is great. Quality construction, nice stitching, excellent fit, and good aesthetics are some qualities that put this harness above the rest. I give the RuffWear Webmaster a rating of 3 because the company shouldn't pass on the headache of slipping straps to the customer. They need to engineer a clip to prevent slippage. (Someone mentioned that "all" harnesses slip. This is simply not true. I have 2 other harnesses and they NEVER slip.)

This is the second one I've purchased. My dog is missing a front leg and this harness is one he cannot back out of.

I ordered this harness due to my elderly dog having difficulty getting up and down. It has worked out perfectly. The harness has plenty of padding for her to wear it on a permanent basis without getting rub sores, and the handle on top is perfect for assisting her to stand and helping her walk. Top notch product.

Excellent product works well with both of my dogs.

We picked up a medium harness on sale and found it was just the thing for my service dog in training; however, as it was a bit long in the body, I just bought two size small harnesses for her and those work great! Just have to sew on the patches and we're good to go.

For my old Shepard Mix, who is having difficulty with his hind legs due to spinal degeneration, this harness is extremely helpful in helping him stand up, and get up the stairs. He doesn't seem to notice when it's on and has experienced no chaffing or irritation. It's also saving my back!

Harness (large) was extemely difficult to get on until I cut the strap that goes from below the neck between the two front legs and added a velcro connection. Now it is a great assistance in helping him go up and down steps and to get up from slippery surfaces.

I'm always re-tightening adjustable straps! Other than that, it's a really good product -

Great answer to dogs that pull on leash at first to utilize there energy & strength. During training sessions for both human and dog companion I have found it to be ideal way to use your wieght to deplete the dogs energy with a hands free leash.

The small size fits my 45lb GSP very nicely. I'm currently using the harness for tracking/trailing, and the comfortable fit, sturdy construction, and easy to use handle have made this a nice little harness for my dog.

Our dog has a tendency to back out of her step in harness when she gets afraid/startled. Then, it is off to the races. She can't get out of this harness. And, it fits her very comfortably. It is a great value.

Life saver! My dog was breaking out of her leashes, running away. I was so concerned for her safety. She can't escape with this harness. Plus I like that the clip for the leash is on top. Sometimes she responds when I pull. The handle is great too, although I haven't used it yet. You need to adjust the harness to fit the dog. I suggest they produce a small size, because Medium is still kind of big. I am so grateful this harness exists. Super safe.

Our pit mix, Echo, is stronger than us and knows it. Unfortunately he also has bad knees. The Webmaster Harness keeps him from pulling us around while also keeping unnecessary pressure off his knees. Even his vet was impressed with the harness. She took pictures of Echo wearing it with the intention of passing along the information to some of the other guardians looking for an exceptional dog harness.

This harness is a godsend in taking care of my 14 year old lab. He has severe arthritis along his spine and difficulty rising from his bed. With this harness on, he just gives us a look saying "okay, give me a lift."

I have spent so much money on harnesses that claim the dog cannot back out of - Chelsea did!! This one is wonderful - she has tried but is unable to back out of it so now she walks like a lady - thank you for this product!

We have a 100lb malamute who could probably pull down a large tree--and has pulled me over many a time. After trying just about every collar, leash, and harness, I found this harness online. Walking with Pilot has been heaven ever since.

For my 40 lb tripod (front leg missing) I wanted something for him that offers him support and security. He's infamous for being able to slip out of harnesses and he cannot do that with this one.

Love the harness, fits great on retrievers. all negative reviews are about how the straps slip. You will get that with any harness with usage. I tacked the straps at the right fit point and never had anymore issues.

Love it!

Our 13 year old has a hard time going up stairs and down stairs and getting up. Got the harness today and she doesn't mind having it on. I will see how it works as the size medium for a 71 pound dog may be too small. I wish comments would include weight and size ordered as each dog's body structure is unique..so far so good.

This is an excellent harness for the old dog if he/she has a mobility issue. Dog can be lifted so easily without hurting your back and dog seems to be comforable when you pick them up. I highly recommend this harness if you are having a hard time dealing with the aged dog with mobility issue. We bought the small size for our Border Collie mix, he is about 37 pounds and fits pretty well.

I purchased this harness originally for my German Shepherd when he was diagnosed with bone cancer. It enabled me to assist him in going up stairs and jumping into the SUV. The 3 point strapping at neck, armpit, and groin distributes the weight well. I also used it on my other dog when she broke her ankle. Great product to have on hand.

I was looking for a harness that would fit my dog AND be impossible to back out of. This harness fits him like a glove. Even better, it doesn't interfere with his movement at all and he seems to work very comfortably in it. It's very well designed and well-made. Once again, I find myself very pleased with a purchase from RuffWear.

I have a 13 year old, 95 pound dog who sometimes has trouble getting up. This harness makes it much easier for me to help him!

My dog is a master at backing out of her harness. This is back out proof. I am so happy I found this harness to run with her- it's amazing! Great quality. My only complaint is that you have to check the straps as they tend to get a little loose.

Another dog that was showing dominance attacked my 3yr old rottie.My dog could not stand up after this. He had to have back surgery.The only way I could move him around was having someone help me and we used a blanket to hoist him. He weighs 140 pounds. It's been two weeks now and this harness made his recovery remarkablly fast. I'm able to hold him up with ease.This harness made our lives easier.

My border collie just turned 15 years old. Her spine is fused so her back legs are not working so well anymore. However, from her hips to her head she is sitll a happy dog who loves our four newly adopted children. With this 'magic' harness, I can assist her with her movement as she needs it. It does not restrict her movement and I leave it on her 24/7. It is comfortable for her and she knows I can assist her without having to pick her entire body up to go outsde to take care of her business. I am so thankful for this product. It has give the quality of life back to my best friend. I know she won't live foerever but she is too happy and healthy with the exception of her hind legs that needed assistance.

I ordered an extra small for my terrier which is the same size I ordered before which fit him perfectly. This one - no way - too tight. Returned it.

This is the secind harnesss we purchased. Our second Westie has just gotten big enough to wear one like this. They are great for assiting in lifting both dogs into the truck and are excellant for hiking and wilderness trips.

Our Bernese had her front leg amputated due to cancer. I purchased this harness to be able to assist her up and down occasionally like getting in and out of the SUV. I also hook her leash to it and it is much better hooking a tripawd up along her back instead of her neck where it is possible to pull her off balance. We love it!

My dog hates this harness because it is the ONLY one from which she cannot escape. And that's why I love it.

The fit is perfect. This harness does not slip from side to side or back to front when you &your dog happen to go in different directions. Handle helpful for quick control or on hikes for help over obstacles.

This is a great product! It has really helped in getting our dog up and helping her get her paws back underneath her!

My little 11 lb yorkie was able to get out of two other harnesses. I don't foresee him getting out of this one because of the additional strap around the waist. This product is very well made.

Great product, well made and priceless if you have a dog that can back out of any harness... no backing out of this harness! Dog likes it and seems comfortable.

I really like using this when im trailing

Need it , google it, Order from Ruffwear.com and in days my dog was using it . Awesome materials, great product,

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY AGING TRIPAWD WHO IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DAILY THINGS NOW, SUCH AS GETTING UP STAIRS AND COMING UP OUT OF THE WATER WHEN SWIMMING. THE STRAPS TEND TO LOSEN AFTER BIT AND THE FRONT CHEST STRAP PAD TENDS TO SHIFT BUT EVEN THO THIS HAPPENS I CAN STILL PULL HER UP OUT OF THE WATER ONTO MY INFLATABLE OR HARD KAYAK. NOT PRETTY, BUT IT WORKS! SHE WEARS IT DRY AS WELL AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BOTHER HER AT ALL. THANK YOU, FROM SADIE

I bought this harness for my dog after she had extensive surgery so I could control her during walks. It was perfect! In fact, we have continued to use the harness for daily walks. The only issue I have had is that the straps slip each time I walk her and they have to be tightened each day. Great product!

I got this for my 13 year old, who has trouble getting up the steps in my RV and jumping up into the bunk area. With this harness, I can help lift her with ease, for me AND her.

I love the Harness. Great product and my beagle loves it! I just bought another one!

Finally a harness Libbi can't squirm her way out of. High quality and our dog loves it!

Best harness I found to control a Houdini dog; he still manages to excape periodically. His dog hair mats in the underside of the harness. Can you tell me the easiest way to remove the matted dog hair.

Got this harness after reading all the positive reviews. All I really need to say is, the reviews are spot-on. Easy to get on and off, the attachment for the lead being between the shoulders is way easier (and safer) to control the dog than on a collar. Top notch harness - way better than you'll find at the pet store chains. The dog doesn't mind wearing it one bit.

After going through every harness sold at the pet stores, this is the only one she cannot escape. Love it!

Bought it for my older berner x who had an episode of dizziness and arthritis and it it is perfect for me to help him up and around. He loves putting it on i think it helps him feel safe like he wont fall. I also reccomend it to my patients recovering from variety of surgeries and ailments

Thank you so much for making this product. Our beloved lab lost her leg to cancer this spring and while she recovered quicking we needed to make a few adjustments. Always a puller (sled dog wannabe) her gentleleader now was hard to use. If you tried to get her attention you could send her spinning since she no longer had two hind legs to anchor herself. We read about your product and bought one as soon as her wound healed. It is perfect. Moving clip to her midback provides us so much more control and lets her keep her balance. The small handle lets us help her up into the car when she needs it. This is really one of my favorite products you sell and we own quite a few. We are going to be getting the booties (thank you for selling them separately) next.

bought many harnasses in my day definetely worth the money and superb quality excellent stitching just has a nice ruggedness to it.gonna pick up the red for winter better visability

This item was recommended by my co-worker. We have a 16 year old Keeshond, Princess, who has lost her vision and her sight and has been diagnosed with Canine Vestibiulits. We have ruled out several causes, leaving a possible brain tumor. Princess is now unable to walk stairs due to weakness in her back limbs. The Web Master Harness allows both my husband and myself to easily carry her up and down the stairs to and from our yard and vehicles. I have 2 herniated discs and my husband has recently had carpal tunnel surgery. We are now able to guide and transport Princess with one hand and without any stress on the back. The harness is extremely comffortable for her to wear throughout the day and causes no strain or stress when she is lifted. Thank you to my co-worker and Ruff Wear for providing such a wonderful item for our beloved senior pet.

I have an older dog that is missing a front leg and recently tore her ACL. She needed assistance getting around and this harness has been a wonderful solution. She can wear it all comfortably all day long, the handle on the back makes it easy to lift her up and down stairs, and it has held up to the extensive wear. I would recommend this harness for any Tri-pawed dog; it’s easy to put on and does not turn even on a front leg amputee.

My last female suffered from arthritis in her hips and knees. During her cancer treatments and in her final months, the harness gave both of us stability and comfort in getting through the normal day. I now have a rottie who has lost a back leg to cancer. At 120 lbs (down from 140 lbs), its a breeze helping him on those slippery tile floors in the vet's office! Absolutely fabulous product.

Great quality...strong enough for our 82 lb. boy. Our friends purchased one for their Doberman and when we saw how well it worked for him, we immediately ordered one. We use it, primarily, for helping him get in and out of our motor home. He no longer collapses on the ground when getting out because we hold on to the harness and he has a soft landing when he touches ground. When getting him into the motor home, we just lift a little and he's up the stairs like a young pup.

^ year old husky always getting out of her harness have this for for a month she is unable to get out of it great hsrness thank you

I like this harness but I need to learn how to adjust it. I don't like the way it swings to one side more than the other. Overall, great quality and softer on my dog's spine than other harnesses.

This harness gave my golden retriever a couple more years of life. He lived to be 14 with hip dysplacia and arthritis. It's good and sturdy and has a tough handle to help your dog up and around. He li Ed in it for two years and it became such a part of him we buried him in it. (he just died this week) so I felt I really needed to recommend this product. It is worth every penny we paid for it

We purchased this for my 14 year old 'snow-dog' to help her safely go down some very steep, and slippery stairs while visiting some family members. Although she really doesn't dig getting it put on her, I really it for it very effective. She almost has slipped downstairs several times that I have walked her down. Her balanced has been off since she had geriactric canine vestbular disorder last Oct. I wish that I had had this harness during her illness because it is a lot more comfortable that slinging her between two people with towels.

We bought this harness when we saw one of our neighbors dogs using it. The neighbor's dog had one rear leg amputated because of cancer and they used the harness to help the dog get up. Our 15 year old lab was having problems going up stairs and getting into cars. This harness has made all the difference in helping our dear canine friend get around. We highly recommend it!

I purchased this harness for my 16 y/o LabBorder CollieX, Bear, who has arthritis and spinal-nerve issues which cause severe hind-leg weakness. Bear needs help getting up, and navigating steps. This harness saved my back.... It is also very comfortable and nicely padded for Bear. I highly recommend it!

My dog Scooby is the biggest escape artist I've ever had or known. I had to put up a trolly system. First he wriggled out of a standard collar. Then within 30 min, he was out of a standard harness. Finally, he pulled the trolly hook out of the wall. We now have a nice BIG eye hook on the trolly, and Scooby not only has not gotten out of the Web Master, he's comfortable in it and has stopped fighting it. THANK YOU!

I purchased this for my 14 year old Dalmatian who is recovering from a knee injury. The weight distribution makes it easy to help her up and to stablize her as she is going up and down stairs. Great design and construction.

MY DOG GOT OUT OF ANY ORDINARY HARNESS I BOUGHT. THIS ONE IS FOOL PROOF. IT'S ALSO EASY TO CONTROL HIM ESPECIALLY WITH THE HANDLE ON TOP. EVEN THOUGH HE'S A BIG DOG, I AM ABLE TO PULL HIM AWAY FROM ANY TROUBLE HE MAY GET INTO.

My VERY active dog is a front leg amputee that would reverse out of other harnesses in a heartbeat. She is unable to slip out of this very well made, sturdy harness. The handle on the back makes it easier for us to assist her safely in and out of vehicles. We have used it for 3 weeks now for walks and have been on 2 road trips, she seems to be quite comfortable while wearing it and gets very excited when she sees it. We are very happy with this purchase.

I am very impressed with this harness. The straps are nice and wide. the buckles are beefy. and the reflective edges were a very nice touch. The fact that it gives a good weight distribution means that I can pick the dog out of the water and set him in the boat with ease. Over all. Great Product!

Winston is a 16 year old, deaf and 90% blind wonderful poodle. we live in a triple level home and how I can just grab him like a little suitcase and carry him around. He seems to enjoy it. I thought he may fight me, but he loves his flight up and down the stairs.

Pugs require harnesses & can't use regular collars. Over the last 9 years, we have tried every harness on the market, including harnesses from the large major pet store chains. I've also tried other one's that I foundon the Internet. This is the only harness that fits well, appears to be extremely comfortable for our dogs, and they can't wiggle out of these like they have with some others. I HIGHLY Recommend this harness!!!

It is well made and inescapable since my dog has gotten out of every other harness I've tried. I think he could chew it off, but so far I haven't given him that opportunity.

man this thing is freakin great. had it for a few days already and wow im really impressed with it.the quality of this product is amazing.i love it the dog loves it best fiftey bucks i ever spent on a harness

This is a great product for my dog with arthritis. He has trouble climbing stairs and this allows us to help him. He really enjoys wearing the harness.

We needed a harness to help our Annie get around after her reconstructive knee surgery. This harness has been perfect! It is easy for me to hold her with the handle to keep her from running and to help her up stairs. The construction is outstanding: she has worn the harness for 2 weeks straight with no sore spots.

Excellent harness, bought it 3 days ago and have already had to wash it twice we have used it that much!! the harness comes into it's own when climbing over ladder stiles and excellent for when you need to climb up scrambly bits of a path. The handle is also great for if your dog gets stuck in the mud, which my spaniel very often does!!

We have two harnesses for our Husky/Retriever mix: the Web Master, and what we call his "courtesy harness." The latter is lighter and cooler, but I've timed him and it takes about 1.5 seconds to shimmy out of it. Or any other harness. If there's work to be done, there is nothing but Ruff Wear that's up to the task of keeping him safe, secure, and mobile. (And the belay handle is a godsend.) The straps have elastic anchor-points to allow for the harness' snug yet mobile fit, so this isn't a "fix it one time and forget about it" harness; check the straps periodically when you first put it on to keep it fitting well. My only complaint (and it isn't really even a complaint) is that I wish the Webmaster came in a green/black version for dogs still in training.

Since we have pugs, we need good harnesses for them. We've tried at least 5 various types, and none of them fit well until we tried THIS one! It's great! It fits well (We have two different sizes), it looks comfortable on them, and it's very secure. They've been able to escape from some harnesses, but not this one. Great harness! Thank you!

I've tried almost every "harness" available in the big chain pet stores and what I've discovered is the quality is poor, the price is high, and they perform very poorly when attached to my dog. If you have a dog like I do that tries to go after any animal she spots, then I would say the Web Master is the best choice for you and your dogs comfort, meaning it won't put any strain on your dogs vertebrae which could lead to serious injuries. The only downside is Ruff Wear is too far from the midwest.

Bought them 4 years ago and they are amazing, we walk most weekends up big mountains and I would say my crazy active dogs they have had at least 4000 miles! Great for lifting dogs over stiles, keeping control when there is sheep and we have plenty of them! plus I use them for running with the dogs as they have more freedom. Only design frustration is the buckle webbing on the coat is too short and if buckle breaks or spaniel puppy chews them you can't easily replace them. Time to buy another 3, but worth the money. Keep out of the puppy's way Im sure they will last a lifetime

I find it very helpful for him when we are walking and he needs to stop and rest. Because of the arthritis in his legs he at times can have a hard time getting back up. The handle is very helpful in helping him back up on his legs.We haven't tried getting him in and out of the suv yet but hoping it make it a little easier for him.

doesn't fit well in chest. good for light and short hikes. not good for long hikes...straps keep slipping.

Very good product - although sturdy, I specialy like it for being fleece-lined, and having the foam-padded chest assuring more confort for the pets. Just wish it could have a free-wheeling swivel attached to the "D" metal piece so that the leash would never get loose (what happened twice) when twisted. It is really a great alternative to a collar, and allows better distribution of pulling force

I can only repeat the positive comments already posted.

This harness is the best one I've ever used! I love the adjustability, padding, handle, sturdy attachment, and reflective stripes. I've been using it for 11 months now and it still looks great! With a service dog it gets a lot of use. I get lots of complements on it and tell them it is from Ruffwear. I like the padding so I can also use it in the car. The back belly band makes it easier to hold her back end up for brushing the long fur on her rear end. I like that the harness was designed to safely lift the dog, sometimes I can't bend over and have to lift her by the leash. This is a wonderful multi-use harness!!

Our dog recently had a successful ACL surgury and this harness has been the best tool we purchased to help us through his rehabilitation! We have a alot of stairs, so there is plenty of lifting/assisting our little guy through our home. This harness is secure, apears to be comfortable for him and has saved my back!

My new harness fits perfect, the sizing was very true to size. My mom says it's easy to put on and looks great on me. I use this harness when I'm doing Search & Rescue and now I'm looking pretty stylish. Thanks so much RUFFWEAR!

I purchased this harness for the purpose of backpacking with my 6-month old smooth hair fox terrier. The harness is extremely durable and the perfect harness when hiking and backpacking with your dog.

I have a large dog who has lost the ability to get up from sitting by herself. The harness has saved my back! We travel between CA and AZ and I'm able to get her in and out of the van, up and down the stairs with no problem. I read about the harness in the Whole Dog Journal - an amazing resource for dog owners.

I have one of the ruffwear packs and love the versatility and quality. A friend had purchased this harness for her elderly Swissy and really liked it. When my dog, Thunder became paralyzed due to a herniated disk I wasn't sure that I could manage him even if he regained some mobility. We are approaching 3 months post surgery. While Thunder may not ever return to 100% he is happy, mobile on his own and the ruffwear vest has become our new best friend. Thunder has put the durability of the handle to the test as I am having to use it now to slow him down more than help him up!

I have been using this since my 11 year old tore her ccl.It has been a god send. It has been extremely helpful to me

I'm training a replacement for my aging dog and he outgrew the working harness I had on hand. Because he's larger I will have him help pull my wheel chair and this harness is great. It can be easily adjusted to snug after a hair cut and fits him well without chaffing. An attachemt at the neck strap would be helpful for being able to slip the harness on and off.

Recommended by the hospital, VCA Northwest Veterinary Specialists, Clackamas OR after having decrompression surgery on disc between C-6 & C-7. The vest has been a god send - he is doing terriffic!! Went from a paralyzed 90lb dog to nearly normal approx 6 wks post surgery. Thanks for your product - it was immensly helpful in helping me manage his recovery. Brutus is so big, I don't know how else I would have been able to manage it.

Extremely well made & durable thus far. Very adjustable. May be overkill for some, but my BT is a little hike monster and the handle comes in handy when terrain calls for a little rock scrambling. Always get questions about it and compliments. If ur looking for a tough harness that makes ur pooch look like a search and rescue dog, u can't do any better than the Webmaster.

My orthovet gave me this harness after performing TPLO knee surgery on my dog. For the first 8 weeks, it is critical that the dog not slip while the bones heal. This harness was an absolute godsend. I could grab the handle to stop my dog from bolting or falling and I used the handle to ensuring that she could not fall when we walked up steps. You can just clip a leash to the harness and walk your dog in it. It is reflective so it even shows up in the dark.... It's very robust and well made. My dog wore it for 8 weeks and it still looks brand new.

My dog had a tumor removed from her spinal cord and for two weeks after the surgery she was not able to walk. The harness was a big help in helping get her outside so that she could go to the bathroom. I was able to lift her and help her stay on her feet. It was a big help.

We recently have acquired an Australian Shepherd puppy with several spinal trauma. He was almost entirely without use of his back legs at 12 weeks, and now a month later, can (in a drunkenly fashion) walk, run, and bound around with his buddies— thanks in part to the Web Master harness. We have used it to assist in both walking therapy and in the pool during his swim therapy sessions. It gave us a great way to hoist him up, guide him through the water, or clip his back end to a leash to give him some support in the early stages of re-learning to walk. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of his first set of Ruff Wear Skyliner boots, just ordered yesterday, to give him the traction to walk on tile and linoleum a bit better.

I am a little embarrassed to admit that I bought this harness for my 5 lb Pom-chi. She is the Houdini in the family and after getting out of her regular harness 3 times in one day I looked to the Webmaster. So far it is working fabulously, she can't back out of it at all! The reflective detail on the harness makes for great visibility as does the bright red of the harness, (she is the perfect color to blend in with brush while on the trail) and the handle on the back makes it easy to move her or lift her over obstacles when hiking. I think it is safe to say that my other two kids will be getting a webmaster harness to call their own.

We are owned by a 12 year old Siberian Husky whose front leg was amputated when he was approximately 2 years old (just before we adopted him). As he has gotten older, it has been more difficult for him to get up on his own. He was afraid of going up and down stairs and he really limited his activity. We have tried everything for him - acupuncture, supplements and a change in diet. No matter what we tried, the difficulties he faced still existed. We researched several harnesses and the Web Master Harness just seemed to be the best choice. It gives Niko the support underneath so that when we help him up, it doesn't cause him discomfort on his chest or belly. It is much easier to help him get up and move around, so he has become more active. He is still a little nervous on the stairs, but he is so much better than he was without the harness. The difference the Web Master Harness has made in Niko's life is amazing!

We bought so many types of collars for our French Bulldog and nothing was working for her. People who have Frenchies know what I mean. She pulls and tugs so much during walks and I was concerned about what she was doing to her neck. We bought the Web Master Harness and all our problems were solved! She continues to pull during walks but her neck is not being damaged! We love the Ruffwear Web Master Harness!!!

I bought this harness because my puppy was squiggling out of his other harness. He not only DOESN'T try to get of this one, he actually likes having it on! When he wants to go out, he will go over and pick up the harness and bring it to me! Since I had read the reviews and knew there might be an issue with the straps, I just added velcro to each strap. Problem solved! This harness is sturdy and well made, and my pup looks great in it!

Bought Web Master Harness as a support for a arthritic dog. Allowed support to help the dog up and assist in walking. This is the sixth dog I have used the harness on as I am a veterinarian and have alot of post surgical dogs or mobility impared dog in my practice.

Our vet told us about this harness to assist our dog up and down stairs and walking in our yard. Our dog has lost his muscle in his back legs due to taking steroids for an auto amune disease. It has really saved our backs and has given him a much better quality of life. Thank you Ruff Wear.

Due to my loving dogs injury it wasn't able to help. But if he didn't have such a server injury that harness would of made a great difference,So we gave it to he recuse center hospital for it to help other animals that might need to use it.

My husband and I bought this for our 2 1/2 year old, 18 lb., healthy hiking companion, Bailey. I just have to share how handy this harness has been to us. We have used it to carry our dog over very muddy paths, swollen creeks, and through crowds where she has almost been stepped on. We have also used this to quickly rescue her from an aggessive dog, to hoist her onto high walls at viewing points and to keep her settled and calm so that she would not jump on young children. We have had numerous people ask how to get one and of course we have sent them your way. Great Harness!

Excellent product. Well made. Spiffy looking. (makes my 13 y.o. hip displastic [sp?] border collie look like an athlete again.) I don't use it all the time b/c I want her to keep using her back legs as much as possible, but it's great for going to the groomer or vet office as she slips and slides and falls down on the slick floor. With the harness I can just pick her up and "fly" her over the slippery-ness. I wish y'all made socks (i.e. something soft) w/non-slip stuff on the bottom. The dog boots you do make are awesome but are too stiff and hot for Texas.

My smaller sized female boxer loves the harness. She walks very nicely while wearing it. Much better than with a neck collar. We got a larger size for my 91 lb Male Boxer and felt that because of his barrel chest the lower strap came too close to his private area and made him very uncomfortable. Se have looked elsewhere for a better harness for him but he does walk beautifully with his neck collar, so we'll stay with that. I would only reccomend this for female dogs.

I bought this harness because my dog recently had his front leg amputated due to cancer. I have to say that it has really helped him getting in and out of the car, going up stairs," helping" him get up when he doesn't want to. ..etc. It has really been a godsend to us with his rehab.

This is an excellent product for anyone who has a houdini dog. My Shiba has gotten out of every harness and collar I have tried, except this one. And since he goes berzerk for some dogs, especially those larger than him, I love that I can pick him right up by the sturdy handle until we our out of range. He is still in training, by the way. I am giving it five stars, but I would like to see a few improvements: First, the straps get loose; every time I have to sinch them up again... this dog shakes and rolls and wiggles a lot. More velcro? The second thing is the metal hoop to attach the leash has edges which are just sharp enough to be wearing down the nylon loop where it attaches to the harness. I sent in photos and they were very nice and said they had never noticed it but would look into it. So far the nylon has not torn all the way through, but I will be replacing the harness soon, just in case. The third thing is I wish this came in a cooler color. Like beige or light blue. It is hot in Wisconsin and this dog really gets heated up in red or black! As far as customer service, they are great. One of the buckles broke early on, and they sent me a new one, which has worked fine. This is a great company, and I appreciate that this type of harness is available. It would be great for dogs that need a hand walking, too.

This is my working dogs "uniform". Putting it on lets her know it is go time. It is especially heplful when loading and transporting her on chairlifts and snowmobiles. It gives me a perfect handle to keep a hold of her in these exposed situations when I can't afford a slip. After all with all the training time invested, my dog is worth more than me!!!

What a godsend - it is perfect for our old guy who can't always get up and it saves my back getting him up on the bed at night and even works well getting him stairs when needed.

I have been looking and looking for a harness for my dog. I have even ordered a different one from another company, but wasn't happy at all. I saw a dog wearing this harness at the dog park, and asked his parents where they got it, and they directed me to your website. This harness if fantastic, it is everything I was looking for. I have a small mix dog, who goes everywhere with me. There are times when I have to pick him up quickly, like an unknown big dog running up to him, etc.; and he is very, very sensitive in his saddle region - so I can't just scoop him up. This harness solves that problem, with the handle on the top and the placement of the staps and latches - it distributes his weight so that I can now just scoop him up by the handle. Thank you so much! Great product!

Rosie is 15, can't see much, not too good on her feet- is always getting stuck in tight places or falling over. This works well to get het up and going- to take outside or just pick her up.

This harness is perfect for loading on the ski lift. It offers security to me and the dog. If necessary, I feel it could also be used for emergency downloads.

I have a nine year old 50 lb border collie mix that had surgery for a torn crutiate ligament...when I picked him up the day after surgery he was wearing this harness...while feeling kind of bad at first that he had to wear it all the time I now love the thing! The handle allows me to control my dogs movement if necessary...(as he tried to take off after a cat two days after surgery!)but the best thing is my dog does not seem to mind wearing it at all 24/7!! Great product...

Our 13 year old dog had FCE which is akin to a stroke but in the spinal cord. It left her paralyzed from the waist down. After four months of physical therapy using this harness, she is now walking and running. We love this harness.

Our vet recommended the harness to help rehab a back leg injury with our dog. Harness is making her work on her walks to strenghen her injured leg

I got my first one of these over a year ago. It was invaluable helping my dog rehab from surgury that went badly. We needed to order another due to the one chewed up by another dog at the vets. I have recommended it to several folks and it has been great for their dogs also.

2 days after Christmas in 1994, I found a year old pup laying on the side of the road, the left rear leg broken and already healing with an angle in it. Walatowa is the Native name for the Jemez Mountains. So we named the dog Walatowa, Wali for short. Wali also had a fractured pelvis and a bullet in her abdomen. In the last 2 years of her more than 17 years in this plane of existance, she had trouble with the leg that had been broken. This vest helped me, with my bad back, get her into my small station wagon so she could go swimming, go to therapy appointments and maintain her mobility. Durable, easy to adjust, very effective product.

Great harness. Our Holly has a lot of arthritis and needs our assistance; this harness is a big help. Saves our backs!

Would shop no where else for a harness - excellent quality and my dog loves it - hiking or a long walk is a breeze - definitely recommend with the highest regard.

We purchased the Web Master for 14yr old ShihTzu, Barnaby. He has a congenital "misfiring" in his spine going to his rear legs. As a young dog he compensated for this and no one would have known he a problem. Age has caoght up with him and his front legs have some arthritis. The harness allows him so much more stability and easier for us to help him up if he does fall. Our vet was extremely impressed with the harness. I've also recommended it to friends who have a challenged,much larger dog. Keep up the good work. They already wear your winter coats,purchased many years ago. I understand RuffWear sponsors my goddaughter in her ski-joring(?sp),out there in Bend. Tell Berkley I said "Hi". Marcia Barker

I bought this harness last year for my Border Collie who is quite the little escape artist when it comes to collars and other types of harnesses. Love how you can tighten the harness once it is already on the dog for a quick adjustment and the handle on top. It is definitely worth the money if you are on the fence about it. My only problem with it is that it does move side to side a bit on our walks even when tightened and when using the handle to bring my dog close it does seem to loosen the straps a bit but not that much that she can wriggle out of it.

We used this harness for Sadie, our Black Lab, during the recovery of three knee surgeries during 2010. It was a life-saver! After losing Sadie to lymphoma, we purchased another harness and gave it to our vet in loving memory of our dear girl. Dr. Dan, and his staff, are now using the harness to provide safe and reliable assistance for their post-op surgical patients.

I love this harness. My dog has been able to pull out of every collar and harness that she has ever owned and believe me it's been quite a few. She tried to pull out of this one when i first put it on her and she hasn't tried since because she knows she can't get out of it. I haven't had any problems with the straps coming loose like described in some of the other reviews. I thougt this harness was a little expensive when i first saw it but it has been well worth the price. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Wes just had ACL surgery and I needed a way to get him around outside over obstacles and in and out of the car. This harness is a life saver. He didn't understand when it was being fitted what was about to come and was a little wild on the first lift, but now relaxes and enjoys the ride. Thank you so much for the referral to the store in BC. They were wonderful.

Wonderful harness, escape proof as advertised! Unfortunately our lab was able to stretch his neck enough to chew through the harness in a key spot and escape that way within days. Will sew up the harness and put it back on the lab and see how that goes!

My 85-pound golden retriever needs assistance getting into the truck/SUV, and having the handle allows me to pick her up more easily. We also use the harnesses (on both dogs) during our daily walks/outings. My only "complaint", as someone else pointed out, is the straps slip after a few uses and have to be adjusted frequently to ensure a snug fit. Also use "The Beacon" (flashing light) for our early morning walks. Those greatly enhance visibility of the dogs. (Hint: They also work great on humans!)

My Irish Setter has DM, so has little to almost no use of back legs. This harness has been a treasure. We leave it on him 24/7, except for washing. This is how we are able to pick up our 85# dog (with a front harness also) and get him in his dog cart to "walk" around. Worn well after many washings. Sturdy. Does not chafe.

Our Pharaoh hound developed a compressed disc in her neck, so she can't wear a collar anymore. The Web Master harness is perfect! I can help her down the steps and the harness has curbed her manic pulling when when we go for walks. The harness is comfortable enough that she can lay down and curl up as she likes to do. Thanks@

3rd harness I have purchased. Great fit and quality. He is proud to wear his Web Master

A Large fits a 160 pound great dane. They are also escape proof which is important when going to the vet. I purchased this for my dane who was diagnosed with Wobblers and plan to use it for years to come.

This harness is truly outstanding I had to return my web master to get the palisades back pack the web master with detachable saddllebags I just wish the water bags had come with squeezeable mouthpice A+

I got this for my new rescue dog. He came to me with a back injury and became paralyzed in his hind limbs. The neurologist who performed his surgery suggested I get him a harness during his recovery. I'm so glad I got this one. I ordered the wrong size the first time around and by the time the new one arrived he was walking pretty well without assistance, but it's still been a great help. The handle is the best part. He can't do stairs and the handle allows me to pick him up and into my arms without really having to bend over. He doesn't like being carried around by the handle, but being 20lbs I'm able to carry him around once I get him in my arms. My only complaint is that the straps do seem to slip. I adjusted them to his size but after lifting him a few times the staps are back to the loosest fitting. This isn't a big deal, the harness doesn't fall off him or anything. I'm sure a stitch or two would keep them in place, but I do put a coat on him occasionally so I like being able to adjust the size. All in all I do love this harness and my dog doesn't seem to mind wearing it. By the way, he is 20 lbs and fits in the XS nicely.

My dog, who has escaped from every other harness I've put her in, cannot get out of this one. I would have given a 5 star rating if the straps did not keep loosening. I've solved the problem on the girth straps by adding a triglide buckle to each strap, a simple solution but, given the high cost of this harness, one I shouldn't have had to come up with myself!

At first i wasnt sure but after 3 weeks and having to pull my dog out of a creek i love it.my dog hates when i put the harness on him at first but once were outside its all good.he was bad at pulling with a collar , but with the harness he is a gentlemen .

the ajusting straps keep slipping so harness becomes loose, the other problem is if the dog is a puller we found the straps around the neck are not padded enough and the dog has nearly passed out when pulling hard

I had a basic harness before which rubbed my dog bad during a hike. I got the web master harness and today's hike went very well. I love the fit, the padding and how easy it is to be able to lift my dog while in the harness.

Great harness, love it, but the back straps keep loosening, even when I have turned them back on themselves. Becoming annoying really as I want the harness to fit well for my dog.

My male pit suffured a spontaneous rupture of the disc between c2 and c3. Here was paralyzied from the neck down. They use the harness when he is on the underwater tredmill. 4 months later he can walk, gallop and generally get around. I keep him in the harness to control him(he is still wobely) and to help him get up from sitting when necessary. This is a excellent piece of equipment that I would be happy to recomend to any one. Thank you, you have helped give me back my best dog

I have two 90 pound pitbull mixes/rescues and they are monsters! They are only respectful of dogs that are bigger than them. So whenever, they see smaller dogs, they pull constantly! I use the harness on my girl all the time. (I don't attach the leash to the harness, she still wears a collar and I attach the leash to that.) The harness handle allows me to grab her quickly if looks like she's about to cause trouble. I even put the seatbelt through the handle of the harness to keep her in place in the car. My boy, unfortunately, tore apart the straps on his harness when I wasn't looking. Definitely going to order a new one for him. My girl has had her harness for about 4 years now. That poor harness has really stood the test of time on almost a daily basis! The material is pretty sturdy.

I have a 14 year old, 98 pound dog whose back legs started to fail nearly two-years ago. He is otherwise as healthy and happy as a dog his age can be, but he wouldn't have been able to get up and around without this equipment. I can easily lift him (as easily as one can lift a 98 pound dog) and help him walk in and out of the house. I can also help him reposition himself from one side to the other while he is lying on his bed. With some help, from time-to-time of a back-end harness, we are able to allow our dog to continue to live a happy life and to continue to experience seeing the world by walking him out and getting him into and out of our vehicle. I know I would not have been able to keep him these last few years without this excellent piece of equipment. It is sturdy -- my dog has worn this harness every day for more than 18-months. Am very grateful that Ruffwear makes this product. Thank you!

This harness is fantastic. I have a husky and find he doesn't pull as much while wearing it. I couple it up with a roamer leash that I wear around my waist to lower the pulling point to save my back and shoulders. It's easy to put on, comfortable to wear all day and virtually impossible for him to escape from. It also has a handy grab handle that's good for lifting him over gates and stiles and makes it easier to catch him when he goes off on one. We've had ours for years and it's been through the washing many times and still looks as good as new. I really couldn't recommend this highly enough.

Grate for working dogs in tranning. Allows exalent control of your dog on both long and short leads.

I use these harnesses on my Search Dogs for helicopter trainings and for Agility work. They fit very nicely, and are very secure. Thank you very much for your Pro Deals.

Very well built and solved the problem we were having. Our dogs heads are so small they can back out of most anything. With the web Master harness they cannot.

Quite pleased w/ this item. Very strong materail, and the bartacking has held up w/ no tearing after two seasons of use. The handle is a useful asset if you need to p/u or control your beast.

Top notch harness. It was easly adjusted and fit very well.

As the owner of many dogs that are working and pets, we need products that are long-lasting and dependable. We have purchased multiple Ruff Wear Web Master Harnesses over the years for many of our dogs. I've never had one wear out, though I have had a dog chew several :) We've used them for Senior dogs as a "lift assist", injured dogs as a product to take pressure of their necks, young houdini dogs that could back out of anything else, and even on a search and rescue mission into the WMNF when a dog had fallen into a crevasse and needed to be lifted out. The uses for this harness are endless and we've got a shelf of them on hand at our kennel ready for use at a moment's notice. I can't recommend this product enough. I suggest that you measure carefully, I've found that I need to order a size down for a tighter/athletic fit.

We like this harness. It's strong and secure. Our dog can escape other harnesses, but this one holds him. We like the handle. It helps to pick him up when other dogs are approaching. He isn't always friendly with other dogs. The straps do loosen and need to be tightened almost every day. Also, with our male dog, there was a bit of a problem with him peeing on the back strap, but we removed the cushion and it's OK now.

So i will start of from the beginning. And i would like to say, unlike most people on here, my dog is not an amputee or disabled. She is hyper and i bought this for going for rollerblades. I can honestly say i was worried about how it was going to fit. I have the climate changer coat in a XS that fits perfect, like a glove, and when i measured my girls girth it measured 19 inches (12 pounds) which is a XS in the webmaster as well. What i was worried about was the third strap not being able to adjust to fit her tiny waist, while her girth is quite larger (if you are familar with a sheltie/greyhoud build thier rib cage drops low while the stomach is small) and this fit her perfect. I even losened the third stap a bit to give her some room. Now for any fasonistas, this red is not a tacky bright red, it is dark like in the picture so dont worry. Everything does look exactly the same as a picture. Now the buckles are very strong, and the paded straps are very paded and soft. It is very easy to adjust (i know someone said it is hard to do? This must be your first time with these kind of straps, because i adjusted it to fit while she was wearing it in about 2 min) The handle is very strong, but VERY small on the XS, which i expected. I myself being a girl can get my hand in, my boyfriend can get about 3 fingers in there. (hahaha i couldnt help but laugh at that sentence...) And when you lift her up, she could care less so yes the weight is distributed evenly and the staps are comfortable. One tip i would sugest, if you are inbetween sizes, when you losen the staps there is less pading and more regular straps so if you go bigger you can always have it adjusted small and the paded will have more contact. The only reason and i mean only reason anyone should not like this harness is if you have a male dog who has a short body because the strap will rub his parts. I have the knot a leash and it honestly is the way to go if you buy this harness. Hope this crazy long review helps someone with thier decisson. I would like ruffwear to consider a light loop for this harness, along with a FEMALE and male fit. Also more colors for all thier products would be appreciated. Oh and i also think ID tags would be a nice additon to your product list :)

This harness was recommended by Tripawds and I do not know how we could manage life without it. Our amputee is only 40 lbs but needs assistance to move 100% of the time. My back thanks you! I do wish that the straps would not loosen up- maybe somehow combine the plastic quick attach and the double back girth? I had to sew my strap in place to keep it from coming apart. (Remember some of us use this harness every single day not just hiking on weekends :)

This harness has helped my Staffie recover from back surgery due to a ruptured disc. Now she can once again comfortably pull me along for our daily excercise routines. Much more human than a choker collar for this powerful breed of dog.

I purchased 2 Web Master Harnesses for 2 of our older dogs. The harnesses have helped our dogs through physical therapy and recovery from surgery and they wear them as car harnesses hooked to a Kurgo zip line. These harnesses are great. They are supportive and stylish. Nothing but good things to say.

We are very pleased with this harness, our 10.5 year old English Mastiff is recovering from radiation treatment complicated by a shoulder fracture and she needs extra help and support getting around. The product is well made, and very easy to use. It also seems to be quite comfortable, Lola has no objections to wearing the harness, even while sleeping. We had tried using the towel under the belly method, but she hated that and it was very diffucult to support her weight while fumbling with a giant beach towel. I would definately recommend this product for medical recovery, but I would also recommend it for everyday use.

This was purchased to help a 14 year Border collie manage stairs to a third floor apartment. It works beautifully giving her just enough help to maintain stability in weak back legs and is comfortable enough for her to wear all the time. And she looks pretty darn cute in it as well!

I have a 14 year old Curr dog who had to have his right front leg removed due to cancer. This harness fits like a glove and also allows me to help him when the need be. He has problems getting up in the car or down. The handle lets me assit him and not have to pick him up. He is really a strong willed dog and doesn't like help but with this harness I can assit him! I just love this product. The craftsman ship is awesome too.

This is a great harness, however I still have several complaints. First, the straps self loosen, this could easily be fixed if ruffwear had included a better method to tie up the loose end of the strap. My second complaint is that the webbing used to attach the leash loop to the harness is doesn't hold up to the repeated puling forces very well, mine has started to tear out the face fabric of the harness. This is silly because the the metal leash connecton point was made beefy enough to tow a car. All complaints asside, this is a great harness, and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

My dog just had surgery on his wrist. The harness was great in helping him get around. Very well made and easy to use!

My lab will be 14 years old tomorrow. He has arthritis and other elder related issues. This harness has helped him regain mobility and helps us, help him, get up and down. My vet was impressed and I passed your web site address on to her. Thanks.

Though this is probably the best made harness I've ever purchased, I can't recommend it. My dog can still escape it. The harness loosens as the the dog walks. If you don't continually tighten it, they will escape. Even when tightened my dog has proven he can get out of it. No instructions on how to keep the harness fit and snug to your dog come with the harness. I have yet to figure that part out. Sorry I was hoping for something better here.

Love the harness. She wears it pretty much all the time just in case she gets out of the apartment. I've bought so many harnesses and this is the only one she hasn't been able to get out of, and she likes it. She doesn't even want me to take it off of her anymore. Great product, awesome solution.

Our elderly cattle dog mix, Mac, wears his harness almost constantly. It fits well and helps us get him outside easily.

Harness worked very well on my female dog who is a strong puller and had elbow surgery which required me to keep her somewhat restrained for a while. It distributes the pulling force over a bigger area thus making the impact smaller. One problem I had initially is figuring out why the straps seemed too short. I called and the system was explained - no problems thereafter. I think it would be a good idea to have some type of instructions concerning the straps on the harness. Also, as I am a short person I really couldn't reach the handle without bending to the side - I was missing about 2". Wondering if the handle could be made a little bigger from top to bottom to let short people use it more comfortably.

We here at Gimme Grace Dog Training absolutely ADORE the Webmaster harness for all of our working dogs. It fits a range of body types extremely well, looks very professional and it's big enough to allow ID patches to easily to sewn on. This is a prime piece of working dog equipment that every handler should own.

Very durable and easy to put on. Love the handle. Really helps with getting her into the vehicle. Great quality product. My baby loves it!

One of our goldens had recent orthopedic surgery followed by a neurologic event. The harness was a God send! I could pick her up easily, negotiate her around the yard and keep her from falling and spare my back! Yes, the straps do work themselves loose, but its an easy fix.

Subject: Doggie Handle We are in our mid 70's. 4-1/2 years ago we inherited a 50# female Rotwieler-Huskie etc. (thus Roxy) who was then at least 12 years old. In April of 2009, it became difficult for her to get up by herself. Lifting her was difficult for us as we had our own problems. We searched every pet store in the San Diego area for some type of "doggie handle". No luck at all. In early May, we encountered a young man at a park in Seattle with his dog that had the answer. Ruff Wear. When we arrived home we immediately ordered one for Roxy. It helped extend Roxy's life about 7 months and save the knees and back of a couple of first time 75 year old dog owners. Without the help from Ruff Wear, the quality of life for Roxy and her keepers would have suffered significantly. Thanks for a great useful product. Gene and Jan in San Diego

Overall,it's a great harness. I spend a lot of time cutting wood, and use the harness to keep the dogs close, especially when farm animals are around. Both dogs don't fuss when it's on. The only downside is that it tends to loosen up during the course of wearing, especially the back strap. Aside from that, I'm really pleased with how it's working out for me and them.

I love the reflective material on the harness. And it does surround the dog nicely. However I can't get the straps to stay tight. They keep loosening up. There needs to be another latch or something to keep them from pulling through the buckle and getting loose.

This harness allowed me to help my 87 lb Doberman up and down the stairs when his back legs got weak from chemo. It was easy to put on, and he could wear it for days with no rubbing areas. He learned to rely on it and it saved both of our lives by giving him mobility and me my back! Excellent product!! Everyone who saw it said it was the best looking and best quality harness they had ever seen.

this harness has made life easy for me and my Alf. He is 3 months old and the harness enables us to both be happy and safe. We stay up at night to watch Alf grow and i am almost ready for the next size up. RuffWear is Awesome

I bought this harness for my dog who is totally blind. I also bought the Knot-a-Long leash; it is short enough for my dog to feel me at the other end of the leash which gives him more security. He also has some neuropathy in his back legs due to diabetes, and this harness has proven invaluable in helping me lift him up and down stairs. (I also lift him over cracks in the pavement etc.) All in all, this is a must have. I can imagine it is also very helpful for hiking.

Trixie cannot escape from this harness, and she doesnt try to chew it. I will probably buy another one once she is full grown and her weight is established. I sized her by her measurements. I recommend this product.

I saw the harness 5 yrs ago online and bought it instantly. I don't like walking my Westie with a collar and leash -- a collar is can be hard on their throats. This is perfect! And, if there is trouble ahead, I can lift him in a second! It's handy getting him in and out of the car, too! Many compliments are shared when I'm walking with him as this vest is not really seen nor available in stores in this area. Since his first harness 5 years ago I have bought the newer styled Web Master for my Westie and my Pointer mix, and it's a much improved styled and functional harness. I have seen three-legged dogs wearing it and it seems very comfortable for them. Wonderful product -- well worth the investment!

This brand of harness was recommended by Jack's foster mom and has it ever been a life saver - literally! Greyhounds are known for backing out of their Martingale collars so a recent trip to the vet could have resulted in my losing Jack along a busy highway if hadn't been for the Web Master Harness. It is very easy to put on and appears to be comfortable for Jack. He is a svelt 71 pounds and wears a medium.

We use this harness on our aussie. The Leo is not as active and also too heavy to benefit from the handle. He cannot slip out of this harness even when he tries. It has nice reflective trim on it. The best part is that it works great as a doggy handle so any time we need to pick him up to lift him over an obstacle in the trail or just hoist him into the car it works great! Six stars!

We got this for our basenji Aurora. Any one who is familiar with basenjis knows how smart they are, and mischievous. We love our girl, but true to her nature she loves chaseing cars. She goes straight for the wheels. I can't tell you how many near misses we've had. She could just shake herself out of what ever colar or harness we put her in. I tried search for a full body harness and came across this one. I read all the reviews,and decided to try it out. It has worked like a charm. The belly strap, can't fit over her ribs so she can't shake out of it. She was on boarder of small and ex small. We went with ex small, its snug but it fits well. And she has finally learned she can't shake it off, and has stopped trying. Thank you! We would have done it all over again.

This is my third harness from Ruff Wear and definitely the most well thought out and designed. My puppy, Ella, has happy feet in the car. She does not sit still. For her safety and mine, I harness her in to the back seat. Using static climbing line attached to the baby seat anchor points, I can safely and securely bring my girl with me. It is very easy to put on and Ella looks so sporty in it. The reflective seams are a bonus!

OMG...this is the best harness I've ever seen! I have 2 Italian greyhounds who can wriggle out of almost anything, but they'll never be able to get out of this harness. I feel SO much safer out walking with them in their webmaster harnesses. They were worth every penny we spent on them. Thanks for a great product!

Our 13 year old 90 lb dog was having problems getting up. With the harness we are able to help him up more easier.

We purchased the Web Master Harness for our Newfoundland who was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. He must use stairs to go outside...stairs are hard on his leg. The harness helps to take most of the pressure off the leg. We are very thankful for this product!

We purchased this when our dog was losing his ability to walk because of old age and it was a lifesaver. Sadly we lost our dog a few weeks after this purchase, but it really helped us those last few weeks of his life.

I purchased this harness to assist my 13 yr old Belgian Tervuren male, Cajun, who had a bad Vestibular episode and needed assistance with his balance. The harness is comfortable for him, well made and the handle was easy to get my hand in and out to steady him when needed.

I measured per instructions and purchased a medium. My only complaint is that the back of the harness hits him about 2 inches too far back so when you try to help steady him, it cuts up into his abdomen . He is a 26" tall 70 lb dog.

Other then that I am very pleased with the quality, comfort and design of the harness.

We take our dog hiking with this and it's very useful for helping him up steep areas or lifting him over crevices. He can run freely with it, and it can be adjusted so that it doesn't chafe his armpits like other harnesses. He swims in it too. On cold days, it can be adjusted to fit over a fleece.

Our dog is missing his rt. front leg, and he recently blew out his left rear knee which meant surgery. Since he weighs over 70 pounds, it would have been virtually impossible for me to get him where he needed to be without a harness and this harness give me handle both at the center back and at the hips. a God send!!!!

This harness gives me more control over Harlee allowing me to keep her from jumping and hurting herself. It's great for helping her up and into the car on her ramp.

Best harness out there, especially if your dog is an escape artist. The extra belly strap keeps them from slipping out. We have 2 dogs (who are low to the ground and very, very strong), and this is the only type of harness we'll use. It's tough, durable, and super strong. I highly recommend it.

Lucy is a PTSD service dog,she's in her vest alot. We had one that had 2 pockets on it but it bothered her quite a bit. I put her in the webmaster harness and she doesn't even notice she's wearing it. not only do we use it as her working harness but the handle on the back helps me get her in and out of the truck.

We have a 14 1/2 year old husky who has arthritis in her front legs/shoulders. She also has hip trouble. This is a great, sturdy harness to help keep her safe while taking walks.
The only thing we would like to modify would be making the front loop a double buckle, one on each side. Our girl doesn't like to pick up her paw because it hurts so if we could put the harness between her front paws then click both sides in she wouldn't have to put a foot up to get it in the loop.
Othrewise, the harness has been a helpful addition to keeping our girl active.

Maya is a beagle/chihuahua/houdini rescue that we've been trying to keep harnessed for the last two years --- since we brought her home.

We've tried every harness, collar, martingale, straight jacket imaginable and every single one has failed us. She does this thing where she basically collapses her joints and backs out of whatever we're using to keep her safe. And then she's gone - darn mutt's a runner on top of being an escape artist.

So, when I came across this harness, I figured what's another $50 if there's a chance it will keep her safe. Best $50 I've ever spent! She's been walking with it for 2 months now and not a single escape - knock on wood. Plus having a handle to lift her 14lb body out of harms way is a double bonus.

The harness is strong, well built, fits comfortably (we went with the xxsmall even though her chest is 17.5in and it fits great. Snug but great). She doesn't mind getting into it and we don't have to fight or struggle to get it over her head which is great for my back.

I love that it's reflective. I love that it has a handle. I love it so much, I'm getting another one for her non-houdini sister. Mostly because we need to get a handle on her.

Only downside --- I don't love the color choices. I'm not the outdoorsy type. I have two female mutts that wear dresses. I hate that the colors are so utilitarian but I guess that's the point.

Perhaps you would consider pink and turquoise in the future?

This is the first harness that has not rubbed my Vizsla's chest or tummy raw. Last night we discovered a pigmy rattler on our walking path at the airport. I used the Harness Handle to pull him up and away from the threat. This is the best gear for our best friends. I will definitely be buying more products from this company. It's like special ops gear for adventurous pups. Oh yeah... that pygmy is much more humble now. He will never threaten my bird dog again! Thanks again RUFFWEAR!!!!!! Recommend... Helll YES!!!

I bought the harnesses for all my dogs. It fits my male and female labs perfectly. For my silky terrier there was one big issue: the back strap rubs his penis! As soon as I put it on him, he sits down and won't budge. I've tried the smaller size, but that one is too small in the chest. I've tried to modify it to make a "work around" but it is less than satisfactory. I wrote "No" for recommendation but really mean "yes, with a major caveat: It doesn't fit all dogs." This was not an option on the pull down menu.

These harnesses are absolutely THE best. I do agility (for fun) with two of my Berner girls and have to tether one while I work the other at home and at Camp Dogwood in Illinois where we go twice a year. They are so very comfortable and secure with the harness, I have no worries. Our third BG (Berner Girl) is an aged rescue with Cancer. Some days she needs help manuvering and this harness makes it so easy for us to do so. She doesn't mind wearing it at all.

My dog, Sophie,was infected with Coon Hound paralysis 0n Aug. 28th that left her unable to walk. The attending neurology Vet at Angell Memorial Hosp. recommended a Ruff Wear harness,an invaluble suggestion. After bringing Sophie home the harness was the perfect thing to have in helping her on stairs and in just getting her up on all fours. It's a product that was truly engineered with the comfort and safety of the dog and owner in mind. Highly recommended!

I picked this harness up for our 55 pound Golden for search and rescue when I need to load her into a helicopter. I love the padding and strong handle; yet I would like stronger buckles. The ones used on the belay harness would be great. I would gladly sacrifice weight for strength. I like the red color, but wish it came in the blaze orange that so many of us use for our search dogs. As far as the quality of the harness, it is by far the best that I have seen. We also have the Approach pack for when we go into the backcountry and really like the balance and storage capabilities of that pack as well.

Our Irish was very week in the back end due to DM. This product helped tremendously to hoist him up from laying down to standing. Well made, stays in place product. Wish they made a rear harness also. We still use this ruffwear harness and attach another brand rear harness to it now that our dog needs more rear support.
Only negative: wish there was another clip so you didn't have to pick up the dogs leg to get through the hoop. But, that would be no problem for an active hunting dog which this product is made for.

My husband introduced me to this harness when we met. His standard poodle wore an older version when they went hiking. I have since purchased 2 for my babies. They are terrific as a lift assist for my older little girl and close hand held restraint for my big girl. They also make terrific safety harnesses in the car when paired with climbing grade carbiners. The dogs go every where with us and the harness is so comfortable the actually ask for them and can almost put them on for themselves. Sizing can be a bit tricky so make sure to measure accurately but otherwise, the grils don't wear anything but Ruff Wear now.

At the time I aopted my dog, she had been a puppy-mill mama for nine years and did not know how to walk on a leash. I purchased the WebMaster harness as it looked like the best harness for my situation, and it's worked beyond my wildest expectations.

With the WebMaster harness, my dog in control and safe, I also love the "handle" with comes into use during those times I need to pick my little lady up.

When Bess got to 11 years old she was struggling with her back legs and couldn't manage the stairs or get into the car. It was very undignified picking her up and carrying her so I bought this harness. She took to it immediately and it stays on day and night no problem. I take it off for an hour now and then so she can have a scratch! She insists on following me up and down stairs and this harness makes it possible. She's 15 years old this month and I can honestly say she wouldn't be with me now if it wasn't for this wonderful aid.

I originally purchsed this product when it first came out for my aging Lab. It allowed me to assist her up & down the stairs at our house so she could continue to be with us. It made her much happier. I recently purchased a smaller size for our other dog who is now 14 years old & who now also needs some assistance. I had previously other products that did not fit as securely & were not as easy to use. Your harness is great. Thanks.

We're just beginning competitive tracking training (going for AKC TD) and used the harness this weekend for the first time. Easy to hook up to the tracking line, and the rear loop feed-through to the ring allowed perfect handling from behind the dog. Easy to put on, take off, adjust to conditions in the field; comfortable enough for long sessions.

We have two westies (both males/both under two years old). Our oldest is a rescue dog who has done wonderfully but... having spent the first five months of his life with no care, the next two with excellent care but the run of a big fenced in yard and no leash he came to us at the age of seven months pretty uncomfortable with collar, leash, or harness. Until the Webmaster harness he was able to slip out of his harness and did so -to chase a squirrel, cat, another pup- on at least four occasions. Each time we caught him but it was a constant worry for us when we were out on walks with him. He is comfortable and happy in his new harness, has tried his old trick of just backing out of his harness, learned that he can't and has stopped trying. The Webmaster harness has been a real godsend.

I have matching red harnesses for my dogs, people always ask me where I got them because the quality is excellent. My Pit loves to try to escape out of a harness but when I finally found this one she met her match!

my dog is 13 years old having problems getting up due to hip and arthritis perfect solution it gives big relief to my back also

I bought this for my service dog, Hunter, and it's our new favorite piece of equipment. It's bright and easily seen, holds a lot of patches, and the handle is good for when I get dizzy. I get asked a lot less questions when he wears this. I am very pleased.

We purchased the Web Master harness after trying other harnesses. Our dog managed to get loose from the other harnesses and he pulls too hard to use a collar. This harness is great! Our dog can't get loose and it doesn't seem to irritate him to wear it.

Out of all of my dog gear this harness is the one thing I would buy over and over. I am on a very very limited income but 2 of my dogs are older 13 and 11 and have bad arthritis. It is very difficult for them to get in and out of vehicles and these have been a godsend to me and them. It makes traveling with them so easy. Everywhere I go people ask me where I got it and who makes it etc etc. Its the best pet product I own.

great product, fits very well.

My Old English is 11 years old and has significant arthritis and dementia. The harness has helped greatly in getting Daisy around.

great product !! excellent for mountain excursion. my dog, Ginger, is a 10 years old golden with a becaming osteoartrosis in either elbow.
i helped to walk on mountan for 15 days with less efforts fom me adn for ginger

I have a minpin who slipped out of every harness I purchased. I bought the webmaster harness and he cannot backout of it, or escape at all! Wonderful product. I gave it a 4 star only because the straps have to be tightened each use. Also, underneath is so close that he pees on the harness each time.

My dog is 13 and has arthritis and she sometimes loses balance. I needed a handle to grab while we cross the street.

I've tried other harnesses, but they are just strips of webbing and the harness scrunches up. The back of this harness is stiff (but not uncomfortable), so when I pull up on the handle, there is belly support.

It's also a beautiful color (the red current) and people ask me about this striking harness when we walk in the park.

Also, the company is easy to work with. If you have any problems, they will take care of them without a fuss. Great customer service.

This is the leash you should buy!

This is the only harness that our 3-yr old hasn't chewed through. He is comfortable and happy to wear all the time. Great for hiking and I recently wrote his name and phone # on the red fabric in case of wandering...

The product works well in my dog, who is so strong, after her walks she always refused go back home, she sits or lay on the ground to avoid walk, this harness let me hold her as a suitcase and made her walk

I actually use it as a work harness for my pup. It seems to be very comfortable for him; more comfortable than his old harness. The only issue I am having is that the harness seems to become loose and slip to one side or the other especially if he's been swimming. Otherwise a great work harness.

We bought this to use during our trip to The Grand Canyon, had to make sure our girl and us would feel safe on the edges! She loved it and during meetings in crouded places had so much control as she does like to greet and meet all that she crosses paths with people and animals

I purchased this harness for my dog that was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in hopes that it would help her get around more easily. I work in a veterinary hospital and Ruff Wear harnesses are the only harnesses that our patients use while they are hospitalized. They work terrific for animals that have lost mobility or are currently weak due to illness. Unfortunately, my dog passed away before I received the harness. However, my young and very "full of energy" female pitbull of 60 lbs has taken ownership of the harness and my husband and I can't believe what a difference it makes in walking her. It gives us much more control of her and she seems very comfortable in the harness. Whatever the reason you use this harness, it is a great product and and my dog thinks so too!

I love this harness. It fits my dog great!
We use it for waterworks en dogscooter.

The Web Master Harness is the best harness on the market today! I tried one for one of my dogs, loved it, and had to buy another one for the second dog. I highly recommend this harness and tell everyone who asks!

I purchase this product for my terrier who is mostly blind,deaf, and has a missing front limb, which is difficult to buy for.
It fits him with security, minus the leg, and enable me to move him around objects with ease. It is very well made and will last for years to come.
My only wish, is that the handle on the smaller sizes could be bigger.

I ordered this in XS is for a tubby little fellow and I based the size on the girth, as suggested on the size chart by Ruff Wear. I do wish they had also included the length in the size guide for this product. While the harness fits his chest perfectly, it is too long for his body and cannot be worn. What a shame, this really seemed like the perfect solution. He's overweight but has managed to slip out of every other harness we've bought, so it isn't safe to walk him. I'll gladly recommend this product because it's so well made, but have to take away points for lack of sizing guidelines.

My dogs love their harnesses. However, make sure you measure your dog before you buy. Both of my dogs were "in between sizes" and the website doesn't lie about wanting to buy the smaller size. My lab is on the small size and she actually needs a size small.

We purchased the harness for our 13yr old Lab. She has terrible arthritis and can no longer climb up stairs. With the harness my husband and I can easily walk beside her and give her the help she needs.

I read the reviews and also called customer service because I was unsure if I should get a S or M sized harness for my dog whose girth is 29.5 inches. Customer service said to go with the small. It took three days to receive my harness which arrived today SATURDAY by FEDEX. Fast shipping. At first I thought the harness was to small. But with some thought and patience I figured out how to adjust the two straps. The part to adjust was hidden inside the comfort pad on the strap. The first strap behind his legs is at the end of the part of the strap that keeps the strap from pulling through the connector. Even though there is no more strap available to adjust the front strap, it is comfortable on my dog. I did have to loosen the straps under the neck for comfort. Very easy to do.
The second strap on the belly is plenty comfortable with room for stomach expansion. Although if my dog got fatter the front strap would no longer fit any girth increase. I have a male dog and the back strap is positioned about two inches from his penis. No interference with urinating at all. My dog seemed to like this harness much better than his old no name brand one I bought a PetSmart. I also had very good control with this harness as our first time out we came across two labs being walked together who wanted to eat my dog. My dog responded with a bit of aggression and I was able to hold on to him easily because of this new harness. Because of his wrinkles I had to be careful with the old harness because on several occasions he was able to pull it off by backing away from me and wiggling it off. He will not be able to do this with the Ruff Wear Harness. Also keep in mind this is an athletic fit harness. If you don't have to worry about your dog getting out of his harness and your dog has a girth of 30 or more I would go with a medium. I almost went with the medium but because of the wrinkles and his ability to get out of every other product I have tried the small was the best choice for him. He weighs 63 pounds; if he gains weight as he ages I will have to upgrade to the medium. But I do love this harness. I was between black and red.. my kids choose black. I am sure the red looks great also.

I had and older version of this harness and, after 7 years, needed another (althought the old one is still in good working order!). This new harness design fits my lab so much better. She is short and stocky and I can adjust it very well to her body.

best, by far..ahve used on numerous dogs in recvoering from surgeries. most comfortable for the dog...and for the human assisting him. i've tried various other harnesses, and 'home inventions' for lifting and supporting dogs......this one is very well designed.
can't say enough good about ruff wear webmaster harness.......made recovery much more rapid for numerous dogs, as we were able to mobilize them much more efficiently, which got them abck on their own four legs (and three) much quicker. and thanks for saving MY back!

We love our new Ruffwear Harness! It's true .... it is truly Houdini proof. Our beagle Ralphie cannot pull or back out of this harness no matter how hard he tries. I feel very confident and secure on our walks now. You've made a great product.

My 15 year old boy had a weight bearing front toe amputated. I ordered this harness ahead of time and it came very quickly. I can't imagine how I'd have managed those first few days of rehabilitation with out it. It is the only one out there that provided support for his deep, heavy front torso as many others lack the firm chest straps. He is healing nicely now and slowly adapting to his newly configured front paw. The harness will be helpfull in future as age diminishes his leg strength.

We bought this harness for our 11 year old lab to get him in and out of the car. Because of his arthritis, he needs help with mobility and this webmaster harness is perfect.

We also purchased one of these for out 6lb italian greyhound mix and though a tad big for her, she moves with ease on the trail and in our home. We also purchased the Palisades Pack which comes as a webmaster harness with the packs off, for our lab puppy and with that harness we can easily pull him out of the water or carry him across the hot blacktop to the park. This harness is a MUST HAVE for your dog. Well worth the money.

I purchased this harness for my elderly dog who has difficulty getting up when laying down and squatting to do you know what! It has made a world of difference in her life. The handle allows me to provide the lift she needs to get up with ease and feel secure when needed. I also really like the location of the leash hook. She no longer needs to wear a collar and I am able to gently lead her where I want her to go.

I bought this harness to help my old dog get up and down the stairs and for my puppy to wear while hiking. While there is at least a 10lb difference in their sizes, it fits them both. Mordecai likes having the extra help up the stairs and Max loves everything! It's nicely padded and comfortable for the dogs to wear. It was a little difficult to adjust the harness but once adjusted it fit great.

This harness is also serving Max great while in training as a service dog. It let's me keep close control of him and put him where he needs to be. We love it!

This product came quickly and was exactly what we needed to help our dog with a back problem go up and down the stairs.

Excellent quality product! Rugged yet light-weight harness that stays put even on my little escape-artist!

We use it on our sailboat to keep the dogs from straying too close to the edge when underway. We also use it with this dog to keep her on the boat when we are at dock as she runs away in a heartbeat. It is great to know that she can't escape from this harness.

We had an earlier version of this for our Dalmatian (who was bigger than our current "rescue" dog.) This updated version has a metal tether/leash loop which is much improved over the old plastic one.
The padding has also been improved helping to keep chafe down to a minimum when the dog needs to wear the harness all day long.

my old english sheepdog is 100lbs and loosing strenght in his hindquarters. He needs help getting up. This harness does the trick. He is in the pool daily and it does not interfear with swimming and I am able to give him a lift even though I am in a back brace. Its been a life saver for both of us. Product is made very well and looks great even though its on him 24/7.

The dogs had harnesses that were uncomfortable. Since we now use the Web Master harness, both dogs eagerly step into their harnesses when it is time for their walk.

My Service Dog and I have used the older version of this harness system for years, but we just upgraded to the new model and love it. This gives me control over her and also allows me to lift her over obstacles such as up the narrow stairs into an AMTRAK railcar.

It's great to see comments about the more therapeutic side of these harnesses!
My sheltie is an older rescue who had a tough life with arthritis and is overweight. He swims like a champ in this harness in the therapy pool. The rehab group uses both the Float Coat and the Webmaster harnesses. They are the best things for helping these dogs since the invention of the "food bowl"!!! :-)

I use this product with a ferral dog that I have been working with. She slipped out of every other product I tried except this one. Great product.

Love the Web Master Harness...my 33 lb strong terrier mix (Jack Russell/Chow/etc.) has a fear of trucks that we are working through. She backs up and has escaped from other harnesses but not the Web Master! She is secure in it and I feel more secure that she will stay in it. It gets a lot of compliments too. Great product.

Works great for getting her in and out of the car

This harness is the best i have ever found by far. Your dog will stay in place and the straps are nice and soft to avoid rubbing. People call it my dog's batman outfit because he looks ready for action. The only bad thing i will say is the lack of a light loop. I believe since the upgrade of the leash ring (GREAT) they thought that the metal might crack the light. I have put the light on the back strap but it flops around and it is not the same. Please fix this in the next model and you will have a perfect harness.

These harnesses are incredible. We have tried many, many harnesses on our working dogs, and none have performed all that well. Our dogs are working dogs, and when working on-leash are often pulling so hard that they cut off air flow by compressing their tracheas. These harnesses distribute the pulling force very effectively, and are the only harnesses we have found that work on hard pulling dogs. The mulit-point attachments and handle on the top are useful desgin elements, and they fit like a glove. The reflective trim makes for a great safety bonus. The first time we put them on our young dogs in training, we expected a fight.... they fit so well the dogs could have cared less. These are the best harnesses on the market!

My Sheltie is handicaped - she is semi paralyzed in her rear legs and I use the harness daily. I have two harnesses so I can have one in wash and one on my dog. The harness makes it easiler to assist her movement and to pick her up. She has also worn the harness for swimming and in a water treadmill. The Bark'n Boots are also fabulous! I use them on her rear feet when she is in her wheelchair to keep her toes from getting injured if she drags her feet. I don't know what I would do without either product because they make it so much easier to care for my handicaped dog.

My beautiful Leo has Osteosarcoma and had her front right leg amputated. She is a giant breed dog and usually they do not do well with a front leg amputation. I use the harness to help her in and out of the car. Otherwise, I would not be able to take her to her doctor appointments and chemo sessions. The harness has been a lifesaver for me. And, it is large enough for my giant dog. I thank Ruffwear for this aid.

This is the best made harness that I have seen. I love it, and it fits my lab great.

perfect harness, he doesn't feel it! And tracks us on skis!!

My dog had surgery on his neck (Wobblers) and had difficulty walking before and after. We bought the harness to help with getting him around without pulling too much on his neck. It worked great and he is doing wonderful. The harness really saved my back and got my dog Carl up and around again. Thanks Ruffwear! :)

These harnesses enable our dogs to assist us in pulling in the PWC's and allow us to "keep a handle" on them in dicey situations on the beach, since they are not law enforcement dogs. I do wish the straps were better contained. Seems as if the extra material is always flapping in the wind. Our labs are almost 100lbs. but thin and fit, so the straps are long on them.

my 5 year old boxer has a torn ACL and hip dysplasia so I wanted something to help me assist/lift up his hindquarters. Read the reviews and decided on this-and it fits my requirements perfectly and is well made and will last years.

i have a special needs dog who has been made so much safer and easier to handle with this wonderful product. the vet is very impressed, and my pet loves the light weight. the medical-grade quality of this product is very, very much appreciated.

My pug could get out of every harness that I purchased until I got this one. I highly recommend everyone with an escape artist buy this! I bought the xs and it fits perfect (my dog is 18lb).

I got this harness for my 25 lb poodle who is having mobility problems. It is very well made, secures him perfectly and is a lifesaver as i can lift him with the handle and his hind end comes right up. i am going to look at boots now since he is dragging his back feet. I trust ruff wear now that i have experience with the products.

This is actually the second Web Master Harness I have purchased. My puppy out grew the first Harness, I knew this would happen but she needed one for our hiking and camping trips. Now that she is full grown I purchased a larger harness. After seeing how well my first harness handled and the way it was constructed I had to get another one the same. I would not change a thing to it.

Our vet recommended this harness after our dog had hip surgery (hit by a car). We were able to use this harness to help him stand up and to assist him in walking across our hardwood floors. We also used it to help support him when he went to the bathroom so that he didn’t put all of his weight on his back legs and re-injure himself. It has been a lifesaver. I am not sure what we would have done without it. I also want to comment on the excellent customer service at ruffwear. I called to order this on my drive from the vet as our dog was having surgery. He was coming home the next day, so I needed it right away. When I called in the late afternoon, I missed the normal shipping cutoff, but the customer service representative said he would talk to shipping and call me back. He called back within 10 minutes and they made a special exception to make sure this was overnighted to us so we had it when our dog came home the next day. Wonderful product and wonderful people!

The only issue I have is that the bottom piece that connects one of the straps and the chest protecter is too long. I have a cairn terrier and they are rectanglur shaped short legs and a longer body. It's not enough of adjustment to fit right and that is the only thing I would change. I love every thing else about it. It's sturdy and built really well.

We used this harness on our Dalmatian when we sail. If he ever falls overboard or needs an assist getting aboard the boat the harness supports him well. It has fared well in the sun and more importantly the salt water. It works so much better than any other harness we've tried as it truly supports the entire body. Dalmatians are very deep chested and I worried that it might not fit or adjust properly, but that was a needless worry. The only thing that would have made him happier was to have one more quick release buckle so we didn't have to put one front leg through the opening. (He hated to have his front feet/legs touched.) I wish we had thought of using this immediately after he had his TPLO surgery this fall - what wasn't I thinking???

This is my second one. I used the first one on long hikes. It made it much easier to wrangle and older 70 pound dog up and over rock ledges. It gave out after three years of heavy wear and tear. Now I use this harness to put my dog out on lead in my unfenced yard, so we can relax in the yard together and she has freedom to wander around. Finally, my dog has very short hair and sensitive skin, so far the padding on this harness has protected her from any sore spots. Other less substantial harnesses have caused problems.

I run with my dogs and have always worried about causing trachea or neck damge using the usual collar and leash. I have looked and tried several different harnesses and this one is the best for me and my running mates!

Someone was thinking when they designed this. It is made to easily keep your pooch under control in all situtations. At the same time it was made to be comfortable for the dogs. The only thing I would note is that if your dog is on the border line on sizes go with the bigger one, they seem to run a little on the small size.

I got this harness as part of the Palisades pack for my dog Polar. The harness deserves separate review because it is such an excellent product. I'm a rock climber, so when I got hiking I like to scramble up some low-grade rocks whenever I see some. But my four-legged friend isn't as capable on the near vertical terrain, so this harness was a god-send in giving my puppy a helping hand on the harder sections. The harness fits well, Polar doesn't like me picking her up by the handle, but it doesn't seem like it's hurting her. The material and craftmanship is top notch, and the reflective trim is a nice touch.

This harness is Great. I am training my golden pup to go hiking the mountains of Maine. The harness is easy to adjust and seems to be very comfortable. Very sturdy handle and supports the dog good when lifted. Will work great for helping her over large rocks, boulders and ledges. It's mud season here in Maine and the dog gets covered in mud. The harness cleans up very nice after a long muddy hike. Thanks for a great product!

I use the harness to control him from not jumping. Rocco is very strong so if I need to control him from pulling me I use the lead with the harness. The harness is very study and easy for me to put on him. I also used this right after his ACL surgery to assist him to walk. Worked great. I use it daily for him.

I have full control of my two dogs. I feel confident walking them both at the same time with the Web Master Harness. I feel that they are secure and can pull out of the harness.

my lab is 13 years old and we've tried harnesses before and she always fought it. this time we had to make it work as she struggling with steps - she adapted amazingly quickly, the harness is easy on, easy off and the handle makes steps a ton safer. Great product!

This is an Inascapable harness !! Thank you for designing a comfortable harness that my big dufus Alex can not get out of. This has ended my days of going after him in the car, and most importantly the complaints from neighbors.

The harness is great. It fits really well and can be easily adjusted in numerous places. It is nice and sturdy and holds up well with a dog that likes to pull. Also, love the handle on the back which allow you more control over your dog when you want, as well as the reflecters are great so that if your walking in the evening she can be easily seen. I also love the fact that it serves well as a protective harness for the dog when in the car, so you can easily seatbelt her in. It is a bit pricey for a harness, but well worth the money. My dog is stylin' in hers, and she knows it.

This is the best harness on the market for large dogs. My dog doesn't mind it too much. The straps loosen up and I have to tighten them often, but overall it's a great product. I wish they wouldn't use Scotch 3m on the harness, though, because that company tests their products on laboratory animals. I don't want to support animal cruelty!

This harness is a life saver for my German Shepherd with DM. She feels so much more secure when she has it on and in a week has learned to stand at the door in the morning to have it put on. It's comfortable enough for her to wear all day. I would like to order a double back one, but she has a hard enough time standing for me to get this one on. Are you ever planning to offer that one with the quick snaps? In the mean time, Dutchess says thanks for giving me more mobility and for helping my Mom pull me out of the snow banks!

The perfect item to help me help Sugar when she is having a tough time up and down the steps, in and out of car, and just getting up off a slick floor that has no traction for her. At 13 with severe arthritis, this is the perfect addition to make her remaining time here more comfortable. And, she thinks she is a rescue dog and flaunts it as she walks!

I am a service dog in training and this harness fits me perfect. My only comment would be to have a small removable pouch or two. My mom made one to go on one side but a factory matching one would be nicer.

I wasn't sure how I was going to help my 10 year old lab get up and down stairs and in and out of the car after having his right front leg amputated due to bone cancer. This harness has been the perfect solution. The handle on the back makes it so easy to guide him, and to lift him if necessary. I recommend it to any owner of amputee or arthritic dogs that need a little help.

Offers great flexibility and increased supports. Has definitely made walking our pet much easier given her recent spine problems. In between sizes are a bit tricky, though.

I bought this harness because my dog would slip out of the other harnesses and leaders that we had tried. She hasn't been able to slide out of this harness. I love it!

We live in a tri-level town home and our 14 yo girl has trouble ascending the stairs. The Web Master Harness gives us the ability to help up the stairs and support her on our daily walks! Every pet owner should know about this product to assist their older pets.

I purchased the harness to help our 13 year old RR back up the stairs to our house after her daily walks. It is also very helpful on our many hills. It is easy to adjust and to put on and take off. I am glad it helps to keep our elderly dog active!

Highly adjustable, only harness we ever found that fit our unusually shaped dog.

I purchased a Web Master Harness to assist my german shepard named Maxie, who developed GSDM several months ago. The harness has been a big help in assisting with her therapy walks. It has also proved it's worth in helping Maxie to walk through all the snow that we've been getting here in the east. Again great product. I've already recommended it to a few pet store owners to pass the word.

we bought this harness for our 78 lb senior labrador as she was recovering from surgery on her 2 front legs. The harness allowed us to help her navigate stairs and stand after surgery. The weight distribution and handle were great not only for our dog - but for our backs as well. When the vet's office saw it they agreed it was the perfect solution. I would highly recommed especially for larger breed

I was looking forward to receiving this becasue my dog has hip dysplasia and this product came highy recommended. It took a while for this to arrive in the mail. I took the measurements according to the directions. Measured twice, just to be sure. My dog is not a big Lab like so many. However, this harness is way too small. Sadly, I will have to send it back. Maybe I received one that was wrongly sized? I am not sure. I am thinking of sending this one back and ordering from another company becasue this did take a while to arrive in the mail. I would recommend this product if it fits your dog!

Charlie uses this vest as his Therapy Dog uniform. I had never used it for his leash until today. Why did I wait so long? It worked so well at keeping his 108 pounds where it should be, right by my side!

I use a power chair for mobility and this is my second Web Master Harness. My dog loves the harness and is very proud to wear it. During Hurricane Katrina the harness was of great value as the handle was used to contain and hold my dog during the rising storm surge. I would highly recommend this harness and will only purchase the Web Master in the future. I thank you along with my dog Rascal !

This works much better than other similar products. Our 11 yr old, 80lb german shepard was having trouble getting up and down the stairs of our 2-story house. He didn't like the other harness.
