Our dog is a 18 lb escape artist and we have spent a few hundred dollars on different harnesses and he got out of all of them! The Webmaster harness is not only made well but we feel very comfortable that he will not get out of this one!

Fits my 35lb pup very well. The straps and buckles tuck nicely out of the way. The other harness Tilly wears has an exposed buckle that could conceivably get bashed on a rock and unbuckle. The low-light visibility is not great.

Our service dog had a harness when we got her but it never stayed straight. It kept tilting ton one side or the other, which doesn't sound like a big deal however when the patches need to be read for people to leave her alone etc. it needs to be the correct way. This one stays where it is supposed to, it also give me the extra leverage I need when placing her in a vehicle that she doesn't think she can make the jump up. Some of the best parts are that there is a lot of room to put patches on both sides so that you get less intrusive questions. I like having the V ring in the harness as well since our daughter has the primary lead but the adult needs the second at times and it just give you that extra little control so neither the child or the dog run off. The only thing extra I would like to see is detachable bags for storage. With a service dog you quite often need to carry water bottle, food bowl, etc. and it is so much easier to have the dog carry it. I have recommended it to our trainer and suggested he start using these vests instead of the other ones.

The Ruff Wear harness is absolutely wonderful! I'm so pleased with this product. Great quality and very durable!

BEFORE getting the Ruffwear Harness, Maxwell had become an escape expert and had managed to wiggle out of all the harnesses we bought him. Now, he's comfortable and safe! And it's not at all hard to put on!

Medium size fits him well. A great product

Love it.! We trail run together and sometimes she can't figure out how to get over something so we just grab the handle and lift her over and off she goes. I would love to be able to personalize it. Name, phone etc, as of now I just wrote with permanent marker on the outside and inside.

Purchased this for my border collie and it works awesome! It's very tough so it won't rip! I use it hiking, camping, and for everyday runs! I ordered a medium in black for my 40 pound red border collie and it fits perfect.

I love this harness for my dog. My dog seems to get out of every harness there is on the market. I have searched high and low to find something she could not get out of. This may be the one! The fact that is has a quick pickup handle is excellent too. The only advice I would offer this company for improvement is to make the sizes run in with one another. I had measured her correctly, but she falls in a category that is just between the lines. I ended up returning the first harness and purchasing a different size. I had to do some tricks to adjust it to fit right. Otherwise I would highly recommend this product and company. I plan to shop here again.

I like it but my almost 14 year old dog isn't real crazy about it. It just takes some getting used to so I tell her.

This is a terrific harness and really helps my senior & arthritic dog get around a bit easier. My only complaint is that I would like a slightly longer (taller) handle so that I could give him support more easily without having to stoop over myself. I guess the other alternative is for him to get taller, which is not going to happen.

Louise has had multiple surgeries on her elbows and hips, so this harness really helps with mobility. She's 15 with heart of a pup and this harness helps her enjoy walks in the woods, her favorite thing (after time with her person/mom).

This harness has quality materials and is sturdy. However, we have a big dog, very big and with his weight and these smaller straps going under his chest and abdomen, it's cutting into him a little too much. The other thing which is most annoying is that the strap that comes from the chest plate and what you put the front girth through is nearly too small and is a struggle to get it through. Why make that such a tight fit or at least make it to where it is velcro and you don't have to slip the girth through it but you can put that strap around the girth and fasten it with velcro.

I love love LOVE this harness! I had originally purchased the Palisades Pack for my girl, but despite being size small the pack was HUGE on her, so I gave it to her brother and ordered her just the Web Master Harness. She's short and kind of long and he is tall and super skinny but both are size small. All the straps allow you to get a super snug and secure fit, I have no fear either would be able to wiggle their way out of it. The padding makes it comfortable for long wear and lifting should they need assistance. It's also super reflective, which is great for bike ridding. I've taken them hiking, to the beach, bike riding and mud running and this harness is still ready for more! I let it dy out and sort of just brush it off, all the dirt just comes right off and it's good to go!

The pups love there new vests and now realize to stand nice to get them on so they can play. These are very strong, and I love the handle that I can grab to hold them tight, or to lift them. Last weekend the we were in the woods all weekend and the vests stayed on all weekend. There were no abrasion on my pups body and they never complained!

We just love your vest. My dog Brittany has a disc problem in her neck and was hospitalized because she couldn't walk on her back legs, they used your vest at the Animal Hospital to walk her. As she is recuperating they suggested we purchase this to help us walk her. We did and it is the best thing we have ever purchased she doesn't mind wearing it and the "handle" on the back makes it so easy to get her up and down the stairs. I am thinking about ordering a red one next. Brittany is walking very well now but we will always use this vest to walk her. I am going to suggest it to my friends. GREAT PRODUCT.

This harness is very strong and very well made. I am very happy with the purchase.

Our 13 year old German Shepherd wears this harness 24/7. Being an old shepherd her back legs aren't what they used to be. She could no longer walk up the stairs and hated being downstairs by herself! After a few nights of sleeping in the living room with her, we got the harness. We actually tried 3 (thanks to our wonderful friend and Hollys foster mom Judy). One was very expensive....about 3-4 times this one....but did not work well for us at all. This harness allows us to give. A little "lift" help going up but also give support and slows her down going down the stairs so she doesn't lose her footing and fall. I would recommend this harness to ANYONE!

Duke is a Working K9, deployed around the country,this product helps ease his access up to moving conveyer belts and the like,giving the handler great control over his movements every step of the way.This product far exceeds any of its competition.

We wanted this as a safetyharness in the car. Since her rib cage is 105 cm we choose the size L. Well it's a tight fit, it's just a bit too small would have fitted better if we had more possiblilties to widen the front straps a bit more.I'm not sure if it's all that comfortable for her , it seems to be too close to her frontlegs ( armpits). We are happy with how it looks and that we can now transport her in a safer way.But we would love to see the Web Mater Harness in XL so Great Danes can wear them comfortably too !

My son Kevin Klingensmith bought our Springer Scooby a Web Master harness in June 2011. Scooby is our escape artist and roll in the mud, have fun dog. With the exception of walk and house time, he wears his Web Master 24/7. With Scooby's ability to squeeze through holes and climb fences, he stays in the yard on his trolley system and Web Master. So after 21 months of daily use, it is finally time to replace the Web Master! And not because it broke either. It's finally showing the wear and I don't want him escaping. Just to be clear on how durable the Web Master has been, I have had to replace the steel cables of the trolly system 3 TIMES in that same 21 months.

Product allows our dogs greatly extented freedom in walking and increased mobility.

This halter is wonderful! My dog is very active and loves to run, hike, and climb trees. The handle is great! She is also very strong, and much of her pulling stopped when I put this harness on her. She loves it too, since it is very comfortable. She is also an escape artist, but the the third strap prevents her from slipping out. It also works great in the car. I use it as a seatbelt halter, so that she is safe and secure.

Our Sadie is an escape artist. We purchased the Web Master Harness after reading many glowing reviews. When the first harness arrived it appeared sturdy and well made but within 1 day Sadie had destroyed the strap that joins to the triangle at the front and down over the chest. We contacted customer service and they were very, very helpful. We received a second harness but had the same difficulty with the this one. The front strap isn't secured well enough to the triangle to prevent our escape master from ripping it out. We think that for normal dogs that this is a well made, attractive harness. The strap around the tummy as well as the chest is secure. We appreciate the company's effort to satisfy our dog but it just didn't work for us.

I bought this harness for my Aussie/Border mix, Cassidy (she passed away July 2012), but I am now using it for Zephyr, in SAR functions. It will work well for us!

Just got this for our 14 yr old (100lbs) black Lab Shasta and it is perfect! It keeps him warm, the fit is excellent for him to wear all day in comfort and most of all it makes it easy to help him get up after his long naps in the sun. Perfect for anyone wanting to help their aging dog get up and around in ease and comfort. Thanks RuffWear!

Really tough and when they say "multi use" they mean it! We Hike, skate, backpack and cover some rough terrain together will Bailey in his well fitting, easily adjusted and super tough harness. Not to mention..it is great looking! Thank you for another wonderful piece of equipment for us outdoor + canine adventurerers!

Murphy is a tripod who has also had hip replacement surgery. He was fitted for the harness before he left the clinic after the THR. I can't imagine how we would have handled taking him out to potty or walking around the yard without it. He has to be monitored closely for the next three months, and this harness allows us to regulate his speed (way slower than he would like) without pulling him by the collar. We have also been able to keep him from stumbling or falling, which is of prime importance in this part of his recovery.

For my elderly GSD, the harness is awesome. Now I can assist her into my truck. Unfortunately, the XL only came to the shoulders on my Spanish mastiff, so it won't help him. He has two bad hips and a bad knee, so I'll have to seek a lifting harness for him elsewhere.

Very secure - pup cannot get out of it. Nicely made like all Ruffwear products. Robust and good looking. Good fit. My pup is 13lbs and the XXS fits perfectly. It's tricky to get on and off at first, but after a few times it's a piece of cake now. This is the best designed harness available. It's also great for hiking and the handle to lift her works very well.

The Web Master is manufactured well. It is easy to fit and put on Taylor. Taylor is is SAR dog and pulls on the harness. This loosens the front straps that need adjustment from time to time. The harness rotates on Taylor when she pulls to the side but stays on.

This is my second harness. Two dogs wear them now. My first harness was worn by our 80 pound golden for almost a year. My 14.5 year old lab wears it now. It still seems to be in great shape

This harness was a "Sweet 16" present for our 16 year old Golden Retriever, JR. I can't even begin to describe how much it has changed his and our lives. It helps him on walks (huge difference), up and down the single step to go outside, and most importantly: it helps him squat to poop, which had become nearly impossible for him. We were beside ourselves not knowing how to help him before we got this harness. He resisted wearing it at first but now he pushes his head right through the head hole when we hold it in front of him. THANK YOU! (We will also be trying the double back - it looks much harder to get on and off). We've only had this for two weeks and he is already MUCH more confident!

I have nothing to compare it to, but she can not back out of it and that is a good thing. I have started traveling and there is always traffic somewhere. I wanted to make sure in my mind that she will not get away from mein traffic areas. She is one of those dogs that is afraid of her own shadow.

I am so thrilled with this harness. My dog is the "houdini" dog that is so often talked about on dog forums, and she is able to get out of every harness imaginable. I have tried everything under the sun, and was so excited when I got the harness. Not only is she not able to escape from the harness, but it is safe and durable. She even helps me put it on when it's time to go for a walk! I highly suggest this product for anyone who wants a good, sturdy harness that is safe for both the owner and the dog.

We recommend the Webmaster harness to all our friends and family. We've used them for several years. They wash, hang dry and hold up well.

I love to get gear from Ruffwear. K is my 3rd SAR dog. She & I love the way all the gear fits and works. Keep up the good work.

When we adopted Daisy back in 2005 we bought this harness. It's the best. It is still in good shape. But...I ordered a new harness for her through Three Dog Bakery because Daisy is my mudder and I just can't get her old harness clean enough. She will wear the old one when we hike and on rainy days. The new harness will be for special events and for dry days. She went from a black harness to the gray. Our other beagle wears the red one. You just can't go wrong with this harness. It has a handle, it's made well and it will last forever. I will order a new harness for my other beagle later. Louise's harness is only 4 years old but it is getting muddy too. After awhile "spot cleaning" just doesn't work for me. If you could see Daisy's harness now, you would agree....but she sure has fun.

I love his harness for Heartigan.. He has grown out of the x-small, and is now between a small and a medium. When groomed and clipped short, I could get the small on. But when grown out and fluffy, he needs the Medium. My only problem with the harness, is that if he gets to the harness before I do, the plastic buckles (clasps) are toast with just one bite. If I knew I could SECURELY replace just the buckles, I would, but I don't have that confidence. So I now have to order a small and a medium and keep them out of his reach. This is not a fault of the product, this is my fault and a dog with boundless energy for trouble. I do wish there was just a small pack/ pocket on this for say my keys, my ID, poo bags, cell phone etc.

Our "houdini" got out of every harness in a heartbeat - but not this one!

I'm training Sunny as my service dog, and this harness is great for both of us. He loves wearing it, and I like that it's easy to get on and off, has room for his patches, and the handle helps greatly with mobility issues!

I use the Web Master Harness in my search work. It is a great product and I feel secure using it to help Ty with his search work.

I bought this harness for my dog who is working as my service dog. She is in training and is allows me to keep get focused and motivated. She loved wearing the harness and knows when it goes on it is time for work. So far it has been very easy to use and set up. Goes on and comes off my pup with ease. It seems strong and durable and I get complements on the harness all the time. I think it is overall an excellent product and recommend it to anyone.

Very sturdy design and well built. It fits great around Sasha and is a welcome change from her current collar that she wears when we go for walks.

This is great for helping our 70 lb senior dog crossing icy areas. He's walking much more confidantly up and down stairs, with my hand on his harness. The buckles are much tougher than I expected!

Daisy has severe hip dysplasia and this harness has been a huge help when she needs to be lifted into the car. It's comfy and stylish too.

I ordered size L/XL for my 12 year old 70-pound Weimaraner who has both neck pain and age-related arthritis (but still can be a handful!) The handle is perfect for helping her up and down stairs, and the harness is sturdy enough to restrain her when she's feeling good and a goose flies by.

Perfect for any dog, great quality!

great for a little dog that has managed to pull out of regular harnesses

In January of 2010 I used this harness on my 85# lab/mastiff mix as we were backpacking in the Linville Gorge Wilderness in North Carolina. We were caught by a flash flood overnight and had to be pulled out by a S&R team, through the flooded river. This harness allowed my dog to be pulled across the rushing water and back to safety. I'm confident that if he wasn't wearing this harness he wouldn't be with me here today. I have used this harness many times since and will never hesitate to trust my dog's life to it. As a veterinarian I see many different harnesses everyday and I have yet to find one that I would trust more than this. I am eager to need a new one so I can try out the Doubleback Harness though! Hands down the best harnesses I have come across today. Murphy says thanks too!

Great for dogs that have good "escape ability" out of other harnesses. My dog seems to like this one a lot and the fit is secure for a change!

Scout had TPLO surgery in October 2012. This harness was recommended to help with mobility, during his recovery period. It is awesome for getting him in and out of the car, as well as on our daily walks. I love it and bought one for each of our other Pointers.

This harness was recommended to me by a friend. It works better then expected. I love how easy it is to put on and the handle is very convenient. I would buy this harness again.

Fit is great based on guidelines provided, used as a working harness for a law enforcement dog, extra padding is nice, secure closure, like the reflective material and the handle on top. Dog knows he's going to work when his harness goes on!

One of the few harnesses made that doesn't slide all over the dogs body. It works so well we got the Palisades Pack as well, which is built on this harness.

Purchased for a 9 month old lab puppy who had a front leg amputated due to prior abuse. This harness is wonderful. It stays where it should be and doesn't rub or irritate his surgery area. He was up and walking on it 2 weeks after surgery! We'll have to order a larger size when he's a little older and we will get the Webmaster!!

Although sizing instructions were followed precisely the harness was too large causing lateral slippage which is uncomfortable for the dog. It was necessary to purchase a second, smaller harness.

Looks good, adjustable at all sides. Biggest annoyance is that the straps loosen on their own and when the dog pulls sideways, the harness slides to one side. The buckles look a bit cheap.

As Dudley gets older, he has trouble getting up off the floor, and struggles to go up stairs. With his harness on, I can give him a little help when needed. This product has been a life changing item for Dudley! My vet now recommends this harness for her patients with mobility issues.

I especially love the grab handle which I use to help Beni into my truck...saves my back from lifting a 100 lb dog who can't jump in by himself...

It took a little tweaking of the straps over a period of a couple of weeks, but finally got it, and it works very well. The padding underside and around the straps is a plus. Was a good investment!

Our girl lost her left hind leg to cancer and we bought this harness so we could help her with getting around during those first couple weeks of healing. The harness is incredibly strong and made to be very durable, but it is also comfortable for your dog. Well made. Thank you!

I just used the harness for the first time today and so far so good. Ruby tries to escape from her collar when we pass other dogs, I can already tell she won't be able to with this harness. Ruby has a thick chest and slim waist. According to the online sizing chart a Medium should fit, but I may need to send back for a large. If your pup has a barrel chest and not sure what size to get, opt for the larger.

Italian Greyhounds are escape artists. Not anymore! They don't fuss with this harness and cannot back out of it at all. It's a great walking harness. And I love the handle to pick up the dogs when needed.

My dog Ralphie had become an escape artist. I was no longer able to take him out for walks or car rides b/c he'd gotten out of his collar, prong collar, gentle leader and harness. Someone recommended this harness to me. I finally have something my houdini dog can't escape from (and he's tried!) This morning he walked right into the harness because he knows we're off for fun when he's in it. He's easy to control on a leash. (He also has issues from an abusive background before his rescue so I like not controlling him on his neck.) It was easy to adjust and looks like it's going to last a while. Great product and I highly recommend.

Have and 80 lbs, 1 year old black lab that loves going on hiking trips and i usually keep him leashed to my waist this harness makes it so much easier to help him over downed trees and such and not have me drug under them.

I have three shelties and we do lots of traveling in an RV, lots of camping- we leave the harness on during any travel just in case we need to up and go quickly. I orginally purchased these to prevent the frightened back out of leash, they have proved so useful even in doggie parks- always able to lift and go..product is great..

This is the only harness I feel good about walking my dog in. She's secure, and, because she tends to pull, I can rein her in when I need to without worrying that I'm pulling on her neck or chafing her. Easy to get into, and easy to get out of. Great construction, as well, and worth the price.

We recently rescued an Italian Greyhound from a puppy mill. She is terrified of everything and has already slipped a collar. Luckily, after an exhausting run we got her. We purchased several harnesses and none would fit her frame properly. She slipped out of everything we tried, until this. IGs have a deep chest and tiny waist. The XXS Web Master Harness is a perfect fit. She's tried to slip this one, but there is no way out. Perfect for any scared dog or those escape artists! We also got the Knot-a-Leash with the locking clip. Perfect combination. Highly recommend.

I am really pleased with this product, we use it for skateboarding, Biking and some pulling. it is also great for strapping her down in the car. and the handle on the back is quite useful in a few situations.

we love our harness. it makes walks with our VERY energetic dog do-able!

I recently took my 1 yr old Cavalier on her first hiking trip. We hiked 6-10 miles a day and this was helpful in safely assisting her when needed over streams, up boulders, and just carrying her over muddy areas. She was comfortable and it fit great! It is a well made harness, comfortable for the dog and fit great!

Buy it. Best harness ever. He won't go down stairs, so I grab the handle...He thinks he is flying! I'll be getting another one for my medium-sized dog, Suzie.

I bought this earlier this year after trying to hike with my dog using a car harness. Having a Husky they love to pull and I don't like him choking himself. He can pull me up the hills and when we encounter other hikers on a trail I can reel him in and use the handle when passing them. The handle is great to help him jump over and across boulders on extreme hiking/climbs. I give out your name and info to all my dog friends and several of your products have been purchased.

Nicely fitting, great improvement over a traditional dog harness, no pressure points on dog and works great for having a "handle" to help the dogs in/out of boats or hiking.

I bought this for hiking with our rescue. She loves to pull and was getting horrible chafing from her other harnesses. I feel like I have good control of her as we hike and last weekend I was able to easily give her an assist over a challenging water crossing by grabbing on to the handle on the harness itself. Also, as a Vizsla she is thick chested but skinny in the waist and I had no problem adjusting the harness to fit her perfectly.

I'm using this as a stability aid for our 15 1/2 year old Lab mix. I feel much better helping him on the stairs with this, and getting him into and out of the car. I think he prefers it to the scary feeling of his back legs sliding in front of him---he never complains about my putting it on him. It is very well-made, and seems comfortable for him.

This harness is of the highest quality. I would certainly buy the same one again.

I love this harness. Best thing I have ever bought!

My most recent perchase was for my cocka-poo,"Cocoa", she had a stroke and I knew this would be helpful for her mobility and blance, The first harness like this was purchased about a year ago for our bishon, she is now almost 15 years old and this harness has helped us literally keep her alive because without it she is not mobile enough to function on her own. I looped a lead through front and back supports by handle, this way I can support her and take some of the weight bearing off her and she just keeps on going.... She loves it. I highly recommend for any dog with mobility issues. Thx Susan

When I bought these harnesses I thought I was getting way more harness than I needed. Boy was I wrong. We were heading to Tahoe, and my rat terrier is quite the puller, so I got these harnesses to avoid her choking herself out. Turns out, we ended up going on a couple technical hikes, and I was very lucky to have them in these harnesses. I was able to lift them up and down with no problem. The harnesses were comfortable for the dogs...not once did they attempt to try and bite or chew at their harness (THAT in itself says a lot about the harnesses!)....The harnesses didn't rub or wear the fur off the babies....the dogs didn't seem to even notice they were wearing harnesses. And when I used the handles to pcik them up, lift them down, the dogs were not in any discomfort...the harnesses fit properly...In fact, after liiftng my poodle mix off a few boulders, he decided it was great fun and pretty much started protesting at jumping off the slightest decline. He wanted to be lifted down! (Had to break him of that habit in a hurry)!...The Web-Master is a great harness and I am VERY happy I made the investment!

Have a Doxie recovering from her second disc surgery. Rec.by her canine rehab specialist. Vest makes it easy to lift her in and out of vehicles and on stairs! Just received her second harness. Made well, sturdy and durable. We get quite a few comments on her in it and always tell folks about Ruffwear. She knows she is going on an "adventure" when she wears it, even if it is to the grocery store.

I purchased this for Harvey's first backpacking trip earlier this year. He's too small a dog (16 pounds) to carry anything, but I liked the idea of the harness and decided to give it a try. What a great product! I refer it to it as Harvey's "adventure vest." The XS harness fits him perfectly, and even after 12-mile dayhikes he seems quite comfortable in it and has no hotspots. He's not much of a water dog, so it's great to be able to carry him across water crossings using the top handle-- kind of like a furry little suitcase. And the red color makes him easy to spot among the bushes and rocks.

These are great for working with shy, fearful dogs that you need to help along (with the handle) and also for older dogs that need some support every once in awhile. I like the red ones to put on while our dogs are hiking since people are always mistaking them for wolves for some reason.

Fred has a bad back, and this is a wonderful product for him. I can lift him in the car and it doesn't hurt his back!! He feels more secure with it on, I think because it holds him better.

Montagne had an aversion to harnesses; she loves her Ruffwear pack, but I didn't have a standard harness. Once she was all fitted in we took off for a long hike and she never had any rubbing issues, and seemed very comfortable. Now when I pull it out she knows she's gotta a hike ahead of her, and she doesn't stop wagging her tail.

Great vest works very well for trailing. Lakota knows when it comes out its time for work it fits well and looks good on her.

We bought this for our ailing old German Shepard dog. This is the perfect solution for helping her up and in and out of the car. Also for those bad days at the park where her mobility is compromised. Thanks Ruff Wear!!

BB loves this harness. As a hairless dog this harness gives him no rub or hotspots on long hikes. The optional leash points are awsome. Hes comfortible with full range of motion. The quality of the harness gives me ease of mind on trails. Sizing was dead on , so u dont have to fear using ruffwears chart. Great product and quality of build makes me have the feeling BB and I will enjoy its use for a very long time. Well worth the money! Thanks RuffWear!!!!

Love it. Will by one for our other Shiba soon.

Nipa has EPI and finding harnesses that fitted due to her slight build is difficult, she just kept slipping out. Web Master is just great, fits well and she has not managed the Houdini act.

this is a very good harness, the previous harness i had for her she would just slip out of or would rub up again her to much this, one is just right fits her well and she can not slip out of which is a plus.. harness is constructed well and very comfy so it wont irate her body.. it was a little big for her so make sure u measure well and get the right size..

Very, very pleased with Miles' webmaster harness. Makes hiking so much easier with him, as it gives more control than a collar, and best of all, allows me to easily lift him over puddles and other obstacles. It is so well made, and Miles is very comfortable in it. When he gets older, if he ever needs help getting up stairs or into the car, I will just use this harness. Thanks Ruffwear. - Emma, www.milesandemma.com

we got it because our dog is a tri-pad dog and we need an extra support to help her to in long walks around the mountain, trails, etc. Great product, very very helpfull if you have a this kind of dog..

The web master is the only haress that I could find, after trying many others, that my dog could not pull out of when on lease. The whippet head is smaller then the neck. Even the martingale collars would not work on this little excape artist. Regular harnesses no contest for her to slip out of. I am ordering another one as a spare. Lost another whippet when taking her for a walk.. Do not plan on losing this one !

I am a search and rescue K-9 handler and use this harness on my dogs when working from boats. They are great. I have purchase four over the years. Not because they wear out but because of changes in dogs and to take advantages of improvements in the harness's design. The harness is snug enough not to get in the dogs way if he falls or jumps from the boat and also is strong enough and provides the hand holds we need to get the dog back in the boat. Keep up the quality work Ruffwear.

We needed a really sturdy, well made harness for our previously easy-to-walk-on-a-lead lurcher as she was going through a phase of trying to pull herself out of her collar, often near roads. Since she's been wearing the harness she's been much better; she knows she can't get away now so doesn't bother to try. The fit is perfect - although only pint-sized, Popper has a big chest (27") and a small waist (16"), but the small size harness has enough adjustment to accommodate her vital statistics! (The only slight problem with the design are the buckles, which I find difficult to open as they are pretty much covered by fabric.)

I rarely complete product reviews but this Harness warrants praise. I have two harnesses from other makers that are well made but not well designed and not as useful to the dog with weak hindquarters. This harness is properly designed and works helping the senior canine up and down stairs, into a vehicle, onto the bed. The rear support is properly placed under the dog so it works on male and female canines. A must buy for the elder canine.

This is a very well thought out, well made harness, that we can (with saftey in mind) scramble about many types of terrain with our buddies. One dot is thick throughout his torso, the other thick behind front legs, but tapers (think like a whippet) towards his back legs on his underside. The straps adjust well, to make fit a non-issue.

this is the best harness i have ever seen my dog is the biggest escape artist ever but he can't get out of this. Thanks for making this saved his life because he runs away when he got out of other ones

After having Jobes rear leg amputated due to bone cancer, we were looking for a way to not only aid him in getting up, but to help him regain his confindence. The web master harness has truly been a great help to all of us

Annie is 11.5 yrs old and is losing control of her back end. This harness has been a god send and we can help Annie up and walk on our slippery kitchen floor and up steps.

Sasha is very happy to have her harness put on an raises her paw to help pop it on. Helps with lifting her over styles and helps prevent her pulling.

High quality and visual for search & rescue or all around safety harness. This is also great to secure in vehicle while traveling.

I use the webmaster and the singletrack for my service dog. Most service dogs i know use these! They are awesome and so easy to get on and off everyday. The dogs are always comfortable in them and we just sew on our service dog patches. (we would all love to see the webmaster come in more colors though) :)

I purchased two of these harnesses in order to take some of the pressure off of my dogs' necks. They are strong and on the rare occasion that they are not obeying, I did not like yanking on their necks. I was a little worried they would have more power with these harnesses, since the leash is attached in center of their backs, but so far they are working fabulously. I have just as much control, and once you get the harness fitted correctly, it is easy to put them on and take them off. It took them a little while to get used to havig so much of their backs covered, but they know now, that when I pick up the harnesses, it is time for a walk!

I have a dog walking business and several of my customers have used this item for their older dogs having trouble with arthritis. It makes it very easy to assist them with the stairs. When my dog began to have the same issues, I did not hesitate to prurchase one for her. It has been a tremendous help. It is very comfortable and we leave it on her all the time. She loves it. I think she feels more confident having it on. Thanks for a great product

hard to fine xs size. very comfortable for my dog. does not mind in the least to wear it. all adjustments are great. love the little handle on top that can just pick her up in a second. would highly recommend this harness.

i have a wonderful 14 yo lab who has developed some mobility issues and the most difficult thing right now was getting her into the back seat of the car. a receptionist from the vets office gave me the information about the harness. i thought i would have difficulty in getting her to wear it. to my surprise she did well in letting me put it on her. i did find the instructions a bit vague in putting it on but figured out.

I purchased this product because my 14 year old German Shepherd was having mobility issues. He injured his spine in 2009 and had a stroke last August which has left him with a weakened hind end. This harness is well constructed and solid, while being flexible and soft enough to avoid irritating him. Unfortunately, it doesn't extend far enough back on his body to give adequate support for his hindquarters. Also, since he balances and supports himself primarily on his front legs, I have to have him lie down to put the harness on since he can't balance to step into it and has super ticklish front paws so he keeps pulling them away. Overall a great piece of equipment, but not the best for these circumstances.

We were looking for a harness that was padded, and that would stay on during the playing / wrestling sessions. Pros: - Dogs can pull, play around, wrestle, their harnesses stay on. - It’s nicely padded so no more rubbing and cuts. - Handle is an added bonus which has been great to lift the dogs in and out of the car, and above obstacles on hikes. Somewhat cons: - It takes some time to get the straps set to the correct fit. But once they’re set, the buckles stay nicely in place, which is great. - I wish a similar product existed with slightly less material or more breathable material: It can get quite hot during the hikes and while the WebMaster has been great for Spring time, it’s a bit too heavy for Summer. Overall, great product: very sturdy, and will keep your escape artist in check. Enjoy!

Top Notch for durabilty and quality!

Really happy I purchased this harness. My dog is disabled physically. His cerebellum is damaged and he needs help walking and moving around. This harness gives him the support that he needs and allows me to handle him with greater ease. A very well made product.

I bought one of these for both of my dogs, they do not need assistance of any sort, but my older dog the Rotty/Lab has a mild occasional issue with his back legs that I fear will get worse as he is already 11, so for him it was for future use, but I use it on him now. For the Beagle/Lab I got it because she is a puller and the regualr collars were choking her, if she would see a dog she'd get so excited she'd choke herself pretty badly, so I hoped this would help keep from choking her, and so far it has done just that. It is not great for actually controlling the dogs, but sop far they do better while wealking with them on rather than the regular collar/leashe. My only gripe is that as you walk them, unless they stay directlt in front of you, the harness will be pulled saideways on them, whcih bugs me so I always find myself having to catch up to them and fix them. I also agree the medium front straps could use another inch, one of my dogs has tight front straps, but I stuck with medium in fear the large/x-large would be too big. Final words, buy Ruffwear guys and gals, they have quality made products, I have a pair of Bark'n Boots that I got for one of the dogs that has feet problems, the boots fall off on occasion if not tight enough, but they have lasted me almost 2 years of occassional useage, I also own a cloud chaser jacket that has lasted as long as the boots.

I had it fitted to my 80 lb GSD in about 5 minutes, now he just slips right into it and its Click-Click-Go!. He always looks extremely comfortable, I use it for regular walks, as well as our adventures in the woods where he's in and out of the water and have never had any problems (A.K.A. DURABLE!). I couldnt be happier with this purchase.

We bought this harness to use on our dog that had ACL surgery. The convenience of being able to pick him up with it has made it easier for me and my back to manuever him up and down stairs when needed. The fit seems a little small around his neck until he gets wet. The front straps could use an extra inch of length for better adjustment but otherwise it fits well. He does not like to sit with it on and prefers to lay down. I believe this is because of the back strap in between his ribs and privates so I am not sure I would leave this on him for a long time because of that. But it does a good job of supporting him while picking him up with it. I have recommended this product to anyone needing extra support for their dogs. I think it would fit a bigger dog better, we bought the extra small for Kota.

Amazing harness. Fits well, looks good, works very good, for dog owners its a must have.

S.P. is a short, fat, strong dog. He loves his walks but cant wear a collar due to a neck injury and most harnesses dont provide enough control or are uncomfortable. I decided to try this harness after seeing a couple of dogs wearing it. My biggest issue is sizing. I ordered a medium and was actually sent a large by mistake which was ok b/c I was on the fence about sizing. He's exactly 32" and the large was way to big. The medium is up to 32" and seems to fit just right, in some areas. I specifically do not like that the last strap under the belly rubs against his "manhood" I also had trouble with it fitting around the neck/ chest area. After a 20min fitting we decided to try it out on a walk. He's a puller and this harness definately didnt help that issue but I didnt expect it to. However as he was pulling I noticed the metal loop where you clip the leash seemed to be under a lot of stress. I was very worried it was going to snap and he would get lose. After a 4mile walk at about 7pm (late enough for it to be cooler) he seemed to start over heating. We stopped to take a rest break and he fell over. He is not use to wearing such a harness and perhaps it was causing him to over heat? Luckily there was a near by sprinkler park and I tried to use the handle to help support and assist him in walking over to the water in order to cool down but the handle seemed to not be able to hold his wear and the seam started to pop. I'm not sure if the medium is made for a lighter dog but it very much let me down in this situation. I was under the impression this harness was tough and great for outdoor adventures but it seemed to fall short. I like the idea and the construction seems like it would be great for a smaller dog but all in all this wasnt the harness for us.

A dog who loves to swim, goes in anywhere, just needs a handle on his back to get him back into the boat. This fits the need, lightweight, strong, comfortable for Darwin.

The first one I ordered was too small, this one is a bit too large, but it works. Wilma is a shelter dog that has obviously been hurt in the past. She is quite the "Houdini," and has been able to back out of every other harness or collar I used. Even though this one is a bit large, she hasn't been able to escape from it, and seems to enjoy going for walks with it.

This is the 6th (and last) harness I have purchased for Doc. He is a 70lb Cur with a huge chest which made fitting a harness crazy. Also living in FL we need a light harness that doesn't trap heat. The Web Master went on Doc with a few adjustments and just molds to his body. My wife trains for marathons with him and takes him out for at least 30 mi per week. Not only does the harness keep both of them safe, but he has zero rubbing and over heating is not an issue. This is the single best piece I have bought for my dog.

When our special needs senior dog needed help with routine tasks, we tried many different 'assist' products and found that the Web Master Harness was by far superior to all others. We are able to provide the help he needs for getting up, going for walks, negotiating stairs and even comfortably lying down. He seems to be more confident in doing all of these things when his harness is on. This has been a life saver and has definately contributed to Casey's quality of life.

Very well made, fits great,easy to put on and off, Color is very nice, Pim appears to be very comfortable wearing it.

We are thankful that we found the Web Master Harness for McKenzie. She has difficulty getting up from our tile floors, and this harness enables us to lift her gently.

I love my new harnesses the best I've ever had people always ask me where Did I buy that harness at....

I already had one for my older dog and loved it so when Brock grew to his full size I bought it immediately...so easy to put on and comfortable...great as a seat belt too

Recently had my dogs rear leg amputated due to Osteosarcoma, he enjoys having the harness on. It has come in handy when I need to give him a boost! Very good idea and we will use it often

I purchased this harness as a last ditch effort to help my 15 year old labrador by being able to offer assistance without hindering him. He suffers from hip dysplasia and degenerative myalopathy and his balance and gait are extremely compromised. This harness gives him confidence again that I can keep him from falling but isn't as cumbersome as others we have looked at. It is also easy to leave on him without worrying about it being too hot or compromising his ability to urinate. This harness has made a huge difference in his quality of life and, at his age, that is a true blessing! It is also durable enough that, as my other dogs age, I'll be able to have it on hand for them as well!

This harnes is very well made . Bought one for each dog. This harnes will last a life time. The harness in the pet shops are junk compaired to the master harness. Thank you for offering quality made productes

Our aging Doberman needed a harness since he has trouble getting up off the ground. We had tried several other brands with only moderate success. The WebMaster harness has been an excellent purchase, offering balanced support from the chest through the under carriage. Well engineered, using top grade materials, which shows as a soon as you have the product in hand. We have had the harness for two years and at this point, Ralph sleeps with it on and it doesn't seem to bother him. RuffWear makes accessories for active dogs, but in our case, this product was a perfect match for dog rehabilitation. I highly recommend it.

I have mostly good, but one irritant! I apparently recieved the "old" model a month ago but the sizing was off, so got the new medium and felt the sizing was more precise for my greyhound. However, the "padding" for the tummy and chest have been down-sized and less cushion all over! The old model had a fleece inner liner on the strap pads and were wider. Better for my sleek, delicate long-legged girl. Also, the top handle is not longer a handle but a flatter piece of the harness. I'm looking for the old model in a medium now. It will be useful to help her up her new ramp for the SUV, once I get one with ample padding!

Have tried a few different harnesses and this by far is the best I've tried so far. The reflective trim is great , tow-loop is great for roller-blading and it dosen't really slide around on the dogs back (which all my other harnesses would). Only suggestion I have is to add a few stitches to straps after being sized properly due to straps loosening a bit when they're wet.

We went to Alaska in 2010 and took both the dogs. Since we were drove, the Webmaster harnesses came in especially handy. We used them to lift the dogs in and out of the car and to secure them while in the car. In camp the harnesses were comfortable enough for the dogs to sleep in and also gave us extra grab points in the event that one of the dogs decided to try to nose out of the zipper door (I recommend heavy paperclips to prevent this). The harnesses performed way better than we expected. The dogs wore them almost 24x7 for five weeks with no rubbed off fur, no damage to the harnesses and no discomfort for the dogs. Of course we inspected the dogs daily for ticks, etc, but when we were not staying in a motel, the dogs were in their harnesses. The harnesses have the added bonus of looking cool and people will ask you about your dogs. The ONLY thing I wish it had is a light weight cover for their chest and belly to keep things from sticking in their fur. At home the harnesses are our everyday dog walking gear and come in very handy when we take the dogs to the drive in with us. Tippy gets extremely excited at the sight of hers. I'm very sad to say that Keller recently passed at age 18 but I wanted to include that her Webmaster harness made caring for her in her last month much easier. It was less stressful for her and for us because we could easily lift her down the steps outside and steady her when she walked. We miss her, but her harness will be passed down (if it fits!) to our next dog.

It's hard to find a harness that will actually fit my my dog. Plus he just turned 6 and recently started to have back problems. I wanted something that give him better support. My vet (who also specializes in dachshunds) suggested I try out this harness. So far I really like it.

I bought two WebMasters when I was training GSDs for search and rescue, and found them sturdy and very effective. (If you need a harness for lifting dogs by ropes, get the Doubleback instead!) When I needed a harness for mobility assistance due to a neurological disease, I decided to try to use my WebMaster. With proper training and the right size dog, it provides excellent support for me and is lightweight and comfortable for my service dog to wear all day. Alternate mobility for me is leg braces and forearm canes, or wheelchair--so I need a high level of support from a harness. Harness has enough space for two 3" patches, which I recommend gluing on instead of sewing. My harness is wearing out from years of hard use, and I wish black was still an available option.

As you can see in the linked picture(s), I use the heck out of the Ruffwear web-harness'. I bought them, they were not discounted nor given to me BTW. All of my working dogs are Rescue. I put them in a harness and (A) I can easily identify them from a distance when I am working with them and (B) On-Lead they can pull, run, twist and otherwise act silly. Despite that, due to the clever design and truly "RUFF" RuffWear, I still maintain a 100% control of the "Trainees" ... and ever so gently and safely. I have also been able to apply a quik line-yank to get one out of the way of a charging Cow or Ewe, something that often happen when a "bossie" sees a canine not heretofore recognized to be part of the "accepted" pack of protector. The center-of-balance tie-in make it more like liftig them out of the way, albeit rather quickly. I haven't tried to clean these but have had them soaking wet in the rain. My point is that, as dirty as they are, month after month, and oh, they can get messy in things other than mud, point is that they are built tuff. If the link come through then you will see on these pages and Titus' pages (early) just how useful this design is. And I searched high and low .. there are no knock-offs and nothing comes close to ease and control. When you get yours, get a chalk-bag mine is from my rock climbing) put some tiny treats, pea-size, in there but make sure the dog likes them .. then don't feed that treat except when harness-in-up. The trick is to get that off-leg, lifted and through BEFORE I get my face washed a hundred times by friendly dog tongue. The first three to five times I need rag. But each time I get leg through and buckle pushed in, I "CLICK" and give instant one-treat and tickle tummy. I'll betcha about 8 to 10 times and Trainee liftes that leg out of excitement when you get down on a knee to put the harness on. Harness means work .. work is fun and rewarding .. bwing harnessed means a Win-Win treat every time ...can't go wrong. We call it "Clicker Training" "5" Stars for the RuffWear Web-Master 10 stars if they had it listed. I pressed their rating Stars but nothing ever happened. http://www.denstarfarm.us/Denstar%20Web/Trash/LGD/Augustus-5.html#Latest

Becca had a spinal injury during an AKC trial and became paralysed. The harness helped me to move and pick her up until she was able to walk again. Great product and real back saver, hers and mine.
