Julius-K9 Powerharness Red, Size Mini-Mini

Warning: don’t buy this because your dog will slip out of this harness if you pull your dog. I had to chase my dog today because he escaped from this harness. This harness is made if the dog pull you; however, if you have a stubborn dog and you pull your dog to get him to move then the harness will slide over his head. There is nothing that will secure the dogs neck...if you don’t believe me , buy this and then step in front of you dog and pull and you will see the harness move over his head

If your dog can get out of it, you're probably not putting it on correctly. I will admit, the instructions are not very good (non existent) and it's not super intuitive on how it all should go properly, but it's also not rocket science. I wish that it was easier for the seller to advertise custom velcro patches through Amazon with the sale of a harness, it would be beneficial for them.That being said, I went with black, and glow in the dark labels for both my pups, and English Bulldog (size 2) and an EBD/Boxer mix (size 1.) I love the big O-Ring on the back for clipping in the leash, the handles are nice, and the harness slips over the head with ease. Long gone are the days of having to pick up my dogs by their front legs and hoping they would stay still while I slid a harness loops through their legs, what a joke that was! I can get my dogs ready to go outside in less than 30 seconds, what was maybe a 2-3 min ordeal prior to this harness.I get compliments on them all the time, and both my boys look handsome and official. I've used the handles to pick them both up and pull them out of brawls at the dog park. I will say, the big one (75lbs) was able to houdini out of his harness, but I've since tightened it up, and it has not happened again. I believe I left way more wiggle room than I should have, but that plays back into the beginning of my review! I would order another one in a heartbeat... and I did.

Let's cover the negatives first. The only whines I have are that the band covering the chest isn't padded, and it's hard to get to perfectly adhere so there are no wrinkles. NOW let's go over the pluses! This velcro under the strap really helps. Brutus usually gets caught up on things while he's rubbing against them and this feature has really helped with that. It isn't super strong but that's good as it's nice to be able to grab the handle in a pinch and not worry about it not coming loose (* Such as if he sees something he REALLY likes and tries to run a bit) Next up is the color. The overall shade is nice and bright and really is eye catching. I picked this blue so it would stand out if I needed to see him quickly. Works great! The ring for the leash clip is amazingly strong and while it seems just a hair back does a great job and I don't feel like ti will snap off if he uses his might. The clip and strap combo make taking this off and putting it on very easy yet sturdy and hard to adjust from the dog pulling. My last harness he'd stretch himself and it would loosen on it's own. Overall this is a great harness and very well built guys. BUY IT! And for the English Bully owners, it's great for their awkward fit. Just have a gander!

UPDATE: received a vest from the Julius-K9 website (as a gift) and it is totally different than this product! This did not have Julius-K9 tags velcro'd on when I received, which I understand now. I am returning this because it has no fastener for the handle on the back, has different care labels inside the harness, and has lower quality stitching on the chest-strap. It's a fine vest, but not the harness I expected. 2 stars because it's a nice vest, but it's not what is advertised.ORIGINAL: Ordered this for my puppy who is training as a therapy dog - it’s amazing. My only advice is: if your dog is at the small end of a size (i.e. size 1), check and see if the next size down is adjustable to that overlap (i.e. size 0). I’m keeping this size 1 because my pup will get bigger and fill it out, but I went ahead and ordered a size 0 to fit him right now.The fabric quality, stitching, padding, Velcro, patches, and construction are all stellar. I added on a front-hook chest strap, and it’s the harness of our dreams. Make sure you verify you’re not getting a knockoff brand instead!I will update this review if and when necessary, should a problem arise.

First and foremost, BEST HARNESS EVER.I've been on MANY websites and tried out SO MANY harnesses. I wasted so much money! But I finally grew a brain and asked German shepherd owners through Instagram what harness do they use on their GSD of just a harness they recommend on dogs and they all said Julius-K9.I ordered the size 2 and I was so afraid it wouldn't fit my 10 month, 78lb German shepherd but it does! It has the adjusting strap to make it looser or tighter and the Velcro strap in the front of his chest. It also has a Velcro strap handle near the leash ring which is on the top of the harness. I found that pretty neat and handy. I looovvvveeeee it! And I replaced the "Julius-K9" Velcro label with a label I ordered online!

This harness met all of my expectations, even after hearing raves about it from other dog owners. We have English bulldogs who can be difficult to fit, but we ordered according to the size measurements provided, and with a little adjustment of the straps, it fit perfectly! It doesn't slip like other harnesses we've used, and it seems to be comfortable (our boy wore it all evening and took a nap wearing it). I love the handle on the top to make it easier to get them in the car. And although I would prefer that it didn't say "Julius K-9" in large letters on the side, I like that it's reflective in the dark (I know I can get a personalized strip to go in that spot; I'd just prefer that it was a reflective strip rather than lettering. Plus now people are assuming my dogs are named Julius! LOL). It's easy to put on and take off, which says a lot based on some previous ones we had that were like puzzles. With an excited dog, that's a definite plus. We ordered the one to test it out and see if we like it, and we are now ordering a second for our other dog. It's great to attach to the child safety seat clip in the back seat to protect them while in the car. All in all, a great purchase.

This is a great product. However, care needs to be taken when selecting the size you need. It stopped our Beagle's pulling to a good degree, but we bought the 0 size as that was for medium sized dogs and by most standards, a Beagle is 'usually' seen as a medium.Anyway, it was too big, not by much but enough not to do its job properly. So make sure you check for the actual WEIGHT of dog it is meant to fit. You'll find this in the item description section.Our dog was in between sizes (typical right?) so we ended up buying the next size down which is Mini, which works great. His pulling is easily 90% less than before. He's nearly 18 months old now, so maybe he'll grow into the other one?

I was a little jubious about buying this harness because my pup hates harnesses and tries to avoid them at all costs. My pup gets excited when she knows where she is going so pulls a lot and chokes herself and I fear she will slip her collar. So I bought Julius K9 Power harness in size Mini-Mini (She's a Lhasapso X Toy Poodle) and it has done wonders! Not only does she not mind the harness on, but this is the first time I have walked her without her pulling! Needless to say we had a great walk. The harness is very comfortable, strong and secure and I would reccomend any day! P.S. If you don't know your pup's chest size, going by the weight is a good indicator too.

An expensive harness which I am bitterly disappointed by as even despite measuring pets, following purchasing, every time I walk my dog using this harnesses the rear of the harness Lifts. I thought that this was a fault with me & my measurements however when walking in the park i encounted three other people with the dogs whereby this harnesses lifted also therefore I believe it’s a product fault.

I have a 10kg french bulldog and he has had the Julius K9 brand harnesses since he was a puppy. I’ve never had any issues with these harnesses until I bought this one from Amazon. My dog has now managed to escape out of this harness on 4 occasions now!! If he pulls too hard after seeing something the Velcro strap which goes across the chest literally comes off! We spent a lot of money on this harness for it to be completely unsafe and put our dogs life in danger! For this reason I believe the harnesses being sold via Amazon are counterfeit as I have never had any issues with the Julius K9 brand before. There was a investigation on these harnesses on BBC’s fake Britain which a friend told me about after telling her about my dog managing to get out of his harness. Please please be aware before purchasing this harness via Amazon and go direct if possible to avoid the same happening to you. It is unclear from Amazon if these are genuine or not.

This design can dangerous - if your dog backs away the whole harness can come off. It came off my dog on a busy road, she ran off and could have been drastic. I've since adjusted it tightly round her but I've lost confidence in it.
