    I used a Perfect Fit when Ripple was younger as I wanted a back and front fastening for his lead. Now I use the Julius k9 with only a back fastening as it is used primarily for walking on a long line.

    Perfect fit at the moment with front fastening for Rory. It's easy to fit in my pocket when i take it off when he's running free. It washes nice and us light weight and strong. It fits well and he's comfortable in it. I just use a simple hurtta padded harness for Moo as she's partially sighted and I need to guide her so it's nice soft and comfy for her

    Haquihana for Charlie, love it because it sits right back from behind the front legs so no rubbing :) x

    Mine don't wear harnesses day to day but do when there's any chance of pulling. Puppia harnesses when tiny, Perfect Fit when lunging/pulling is expected and then I transition to a flat collar once they have strong loose lead walking skills. We don't walk far on lead - generally about 400m a day!

    Julius K9, easy to put on and off, & gives me extra control if she suddenly lunges or try’s to jump up (not that she does this now). It doesn’t seem to bother our pup, I keep it on her when she is off-lead in the park (just remove the lead).

    Haqihana for Coco for the same reason as Charlie - it sits back from his armpits, but it's a nice, close fit. Seems very comfortable. We used to use the Perfect Fit on our old Lab, Scooby - He was a big lad and it suited him. It doesn't seem to fit Coco well, it's the 40mm wide one, probably a bit much for Coco's narrow frame. Coco also has the Hurtta Padded Y Harness, that one also doesn't really sit well on him!

    I am considering Halti lead and harness. ( I have got the Puppia for now).
    What do you all think of the Halti harness ? Has anyone used it ?
    Thanks.

    Haqihana for Ash and a very old Trixie one, which is almost identical to the Haqihana on Lucan. They're light, don't rub and so easy to wash.
