 AI reviews summary 

Pros
Walking control: The front D-ring attachment effectively reduces pulling and provides better control for strong or reactive dogs.
Application and adjustment: Harnesses are simple to put on with a head-loop and single clasp design that is easy to adjust for a secure fit.
Service and support: The support team is responsive and helpful, particularly when resolving sizing issues or facilitating exchanges.
Product quality: Items are made from sturdy, durable materials that withstand regular use, swimming, and heavy wear.
Cons
Sizing accuracy: The sizing guide frequently leads to items being too large, requiring a multi-step exchange process to find the correct fit.
Shipping delays: Orders often take significantly longer to arrive than advertised, especially during sale periods or when stock is low.
Exchange and return process: The return process involves significant back-and-forth communication, including requests for multiple photos and videos to justify a size swap.
Verdict

The harnesses and bungee leashes are highly effective at managing pulling while remaining easy to use and durable. However, consistent issues with sizing accuracy and a demanding exchange process can make the initial purchase experience difficult. Most users find the final product worth the effort, though shipping times are often unreliable.

Ordered a dog harness for our female mini dachshund and one for our male GSD. Measured both dogs as per measurement instructions and ordered accordingly. Our male GSD is very large and according to measurements would just fit the XL size, while the dachshund would fit easily the XS size. Ordering was very easy and products were received within… Read more

seven days, in perfect order. We have never been able to find a proper-fitting dog harness for our mini dachshund or at least one that is good and affordable. This time is different, the Dog Friendly Co harness fits properly in one go and she loves to wear it. She didn't want me to take it off :). For our GSD, it was a replacement for an existing tactical harness. The reason was that the previous harness doesn’t breath, too much of his back, sides and chest were covered causing overheating in the humid climate of QLD and on top it was an absolute hassle to put on. The Dog Friendly Co harness is on in seconds, sturdy and he loves it, no biting at the harness so i would say great succes! The XL size just makes it for our 57kg GSD, hence make sure you measure your dog properly and don't only look at the recommendation list as every dog is different. I highly recommend these harnesses from Dog Friendly Co and before i forget, communication between Dog Friendly Co and myself were excellent.

I really like this harness and bungee leash set for walks with my Golden Retriever. The harness is lightweight and easy to adjust for a secure fit, and the bungee leash provides some give when she pulls. My favorite detail is how easy the harness is to put on before heading out. A practical, thoughtfully designed set for everyday walks.

Honestly the easiest harnesses to put on & take off. Material is easy on the hand on our walks and the No Pull D ring is honestly the best!! Saved my arm being pulled so hard.. now we can enjoy our walks and I’m in control & Ronnie walks like the best boy.

Best big-dog harness ever! I have a big Rottweiler named Rueger who’s well-trained, but it’s so nice having that extra control when needed. I recently took him to the beach, and this harness was incredibly easy to put on and keep clean. I could also immediately tell that he was much more comfortable wearing this harness compared to the others we’ve tried. 10/10 would recommend! ‍

Winston got the Navy blue walk essentials and we are very impressed with the quality. He has been using it for 6 months now and recommend to everyone. Took me a second to work out how to put it on him but the instruction videos are super helpful and can confidently say it’s the best harness we’ve used!

So far this harness has been awesome! Max seems much more comfortable during walks and isn’t choking himself anymore when he pulls a little. The quality feels great, fits him well, and I really like the personalized design. Definitely happy with it and glad we made the switch!

Venus is a Bully bread and she’s always yanked me down the block on walks it’s been impossible to walk. Until now. This harness with the front clip had changed the game. This combined with the bungie leash and we can walk for miles with no issue! Super impressed and i love this harness i got her a medium size she’s 50 pounds. Thank you guys this is the happiest I’ve been on walks.

Not good - please consider before purchasing – The measurements provided in the ad are not accurate. I purchased the XL for my Goldie as she measured just inside the smallest measurement. When the item arrived it was far too loose and had to be returned. The return process was like ‘death by a… Read more

thousand cuts’ (eg. 5 pics of a brand new harness had to be submitted before they would provide a return shipping address. Then, I had to pay the return shipping costs and wait for the second round of shipping which is appallingly slow. So this harness has cost me $10 more than it should have and the quality seems poor for the cost of the item. My advice to prospective buyers is don’t waste your time with this product as you may not be happy. I question the reviews on this company (ie. Who is providing 5* reviews for this product).

 Follow-up  · The harness seems to be comfortable and adjusts easily but again it does not fit correctly - my Goldie likes to roll on the grass at the park and sometimes gets her foot stuck inside the harness at which point the harness becomes extremely difficult to remove / adjust. The buckle is plastic and opens and closes easily. My Goldie is very settled so… Read more

Excellent product, feel secure with my pup on the street or in the car – I was looking for a sturdy harness that doubled as both a car harness AND a front no pull harness. This harness fit the bill. The D rings are top notch, super strong. I chose to get the front D clasp as my dog pulls. The Velcro is amazing. … Read more

VERY strong and the Velcro goes across the chest area with the lovely pattern on one side, and comes back to the other side so you have a double front strap. I have no fear that it will come apart. For comparison, Glenna is an Aussie, 37 pounds, basically a large mini or a small big Aussie. She has a chest of 25 inches and a neck size of 15. I bought her a medium. The chest strap was too big for her, as it always is with any harness I buy, so after adjusting, cutting off any overlap of the end strap was easy. I attached a pic of the end strap.

 Follow-up  · This harness is easy to clean. I just put some Dawn dish soap on the strap, scrub it a bit and then hand wash it. I don’t put it in my washer or dryer because of the large D rings. The harness fits great. There is no rubbing or irritating the skin, just make sure you can put one finger under the harness in various areas. Make your dog sit and… Read more

Absolutely love this harness and leash combo. I’ve tried so many different brands for my mini cockapoo and this is just the easiest to use and really helps her not pull on walks. I’ve gotten all my friends using these too I genuinely can’t say enough good about them!

 Follow-up  · Super durable and haven’t had to clean it yet. Super comfy and doesn’t make her matted which is a win for a doodle!

I finally found the right harness for my 18 month old bernedoodle. Turns out these particular harnesses are excellent on doodles and my doodle group is loving DogFriendly harnesses. We are able to get just the right fit. The front ring keeps Lucy from pulling which is a huge relief to my shoulders. Also putting on the harness is so simple and she… Read more

just sticks her head into then do the clasp on the side all one step. Once you have the harness adjusted the way you want, you won't need to do so unless weight or size. This company is so good about working with you to get the right fit. I now have the harness is several colors and am waiting on her new purple. I have a closet full of harness that just were not right, would pull in the wrong way, be tedious to put on her. The front clip is a must, I hang a tiny light on it in addition to her leash and the name badge looks so sharp. The leashes are awesome, just the right width and strength. Amazingly the price is about half the cost of "the other one" that is similar. I love this company! Don't be afraid to try Dog Friendly harnesses especially if you've got a Doodle.

The Dog Friendly Co. harnesses have been an absolute game changer for our 2 dogs. Particularly our Border Collie Mix, Rosie, who was always such a challenge to walk on the lead. She literally pulled my husband off his feet when she was only 4 months old & I got tendinitis in my forearm/elbow from trying to keep her in check on the lead. We paid… Read more

for private dog training sessions & eventually tried a Halti which helped to some degree but she hated it, would always rub her face on the ground trying to remove it, we felt so terrible & she still pulled! When we finally discovered The Dog Friendly Co. harnesses when Rosie was nearly 2.5 years old we could not believe the instantaneous results. Particularly with the “no pull” D ring it was SO much easier to walk Rosie without causing any stress to the dog, & us!! We definitely lamented not finding them sooner, it would’ve saved us a lot of stressful, frustrating walks! So not only are the Dog Friendly Co. harnesses attractive, bright & colourful, they are super easy to put on the dogs AND they actually work!! It’s also fun to have the dogs name patches on the side, everyone loves recognising all the dogs down at the park. Should also mention how robust the harnesses are as well, our dogs swim & roll around in the dirt & grass every day in them & they’re still going strong 10 months after purchase. Such a great product & incredible customer service too. Thank you so much to the team at Dog Friendly Co. for making our dog walks much more enjoyable.

Got the harness in green (size s for a schnoodle), name tags, leash and front ring. Cannot say enough about the customer service…10/10! Immediate response and they not only helped me when ordering to ensure I had the correct size, but also in the days following the arrival of the harness as I initially struggled to figure out how to adjust it… Read more

correctly. Super thankful for their patience as I at one point mistakenly thought I needed to size down, but they could see from the pics I sent that I had it too far forward on my dog’s body. Although it took a bit of time to get here, it was well worth the wait. I can literally use one finger to hold onto the leash when I have it attached to the front ring…Crazy that it can make such a difference! Giving my doggo lots of praise for walking so nicely and I think he is quite pleased with himself. He is interacting way better with new dogs he meets on walks… his confidence is greater, as is mine. I get lots of questions about his harness. Highly recommend!

I had tried many different harnesses and collars to try and make our walks pleasant with my big strong American Bully. The No-Pull harness from you guys had instant results. I highly recommend this to anyone struggling with walking. The staff are also very helpful and generous with a mistake that I had made in the ordering. Speros Darwin

Terrible harness. The closing buckle pinches either the dog or my fingers when fastening it. It also doesn’t fit well and restricts the dog’s natural movement. Very disappointing and I wouldn’t recommend the harness. The collar, however, is good.

I got sucked into buying their dog paw pads after seeing them on unsocial media, they are just a fabric stickers and marketing telling you they are the best thing to stop your dog slipping on surfaces, I have a 12 year old assistance Labrador. When I applied to his paws as according to the instructions on the box. He immediately became distressed… Read more

and agitated. I stupidly left them on for about 6 hours while his body absorbed toxic chemicals. When I tried to remove them after soaking in warm water for 10 minutes as directed, they peeled his skin away which caused bleeding and infection. I immediately contacted the company to which I received a reply asking me how I applied them, did I follow the instructions? Well the instructions supplied were on the box no extra material was supplied. I have requested a safety material data sheet relating to the adhesive that was used to glue these things to my assistance dog feet. Asked me to send a photo of the product I wish to return and get a refund and they would move it to the next process well that was four emails ago. The company has since gone silent, I am now proceeding to Department of fair trading and legal action against the company to cover vet bills, and trauma it has caused to my assistance dog.

A WARNING TO ALL DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT THIS COMPANY AND THIS PRODUCT ARE ANOTHER PATHETIC DISGUSTING WAY OF EXTRACTING MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEIR PETS DEARLY.

We ordered two complete walk sets from this company and one of the sets came with a collar that was not the correct size.

We purchased a harness, collar lead and no pull D ring. The online purchase process was easy and quick. We received our order very quickly and were kept informed, by the company, regularly on how our purchase was progressing. The printed name tag looks great and the quality is excellent. We'd been through about 3 leads because our GS pup… Read more

would chew through them when we walked him. Now with the strength and rubber reinforement there is no sign of fraying. One thing that didn't quite work as I'd hoped was the D ring. There were no instructions on how to attach it and the velcro grip just pulled off the harness. Our GS is almost 45 kg and very strong. Perhaps I haven't fitted it correctly??
