Gooby Comfort X Step-in Dog Harness, Choke-Free, Pink, Medium

Update - Bought that one almost a year ago and it's held up well. The metal rings are a little worn. We also bought a second one for our other pup. This style of Gooby is the one we prefer. Stays in place well and doesn't choke them. Our small doodle is 17 pounds and about 19 inches around/girth. We got the large and it firs great. We needed to switch because a lot of the step in harnesses hit her trachea if she pulls at all. This harness doesn't touch her trachea at all. It's great! Highlights - it's easy to get the right fit with 4 adjustable straps. It's good quality. It doesn't rub under her armpits like other harnesses. And no choke is awesome! No cons but one thing to note is the metal rings are somewhat large and they sometimes get jammed in my leash clasped and it can be hard to get off. But no big deal. We are really happy with this purchase.

This is a great harness. My dog is 9 lbs, has a 10" neck and a 15" chest. She wears a medium in this style and it fits her perfectly. She's never been able to get out of it and has yet to choke herself when she spots a squirrel or bird, though she stubbornly tries to run after them. I've recently found that I like Gooby products (like the Gooby Every Day Fleece Cold Weather Dog Vest for Small Dogs, Red, Medium ), so at first I tried the Gooby Choke Free X Frame Soft Harness with Micro Suede Trimming for Small Dogs, Medium, Black , but this is far better in my opinion. It's so much easier to put on, it fits more securely, and it has a more streamlined look to it. This is the best harness I've ever purchased. Update: After using this harness for over two months - three times a day, every day, through sun, fog, and rain - it has stretched out a bit. It no longer fits as snugly as I would prefer. And seeing as how my dog was at the very edge of being a medium (she wore all the adjustments at their smallest), it does look quite loose around her legs and chest when she's just standing still. I can see how if I needed to urge her forward with the use of the harness that it might go over her head and she'd be free. I adjust all the straps at the beginning of every walk now, just to make sure everything's as tight as possible. I don't blame anything but natural wear and tear; materials stretch over time. I was planning on purchasing another harness anyway, this time I'll just choose the small knowing it'll get bigger as time goes on, and this medium will be relegated to being worn atop my dog's thicker fleece vests. Update: I wound up buying the small harness (or two) and it fits even better than the medium! My dog's right in the middle of the strap adjustments, so she has room to grow a big bigger or a bit smaller. For comparison, I've added pics of the medium (black) vs. the small (red). As you can see, the medium gaps a little at the chest, whereas the small fits snugly. I still love this harness just as much as before, maybe even more. I feel a sense of security when I put it on my dog before leaving the house for a walk. Honestly, I'm already considering which color to buy next!

We've purchased this harness multiple times because our beagle pulls so much on the leash that he would actually pass out when we used a regular neck collar. This harness is a much safer option for him—it keeps pressure off his neck and gives us a lot more peace of mind during walks. The patented design distributes pressure across the chest and shoulders, reducing the risk of choking or tracheal injury, which is especially important for small dogs prone to neck issues .​ The step-in design makes it easy to put on, and the breathable mesh keeps him comfortable. The only downside is that it tends to stretch out pretty quickly, especially with how hard our beagle pulls (we're still working on his walking skills, lol). Despite that, we keep coming back to it because it's the best and safest option we've found for him. Thats the only reason it lost a star.

Our pocket bully is such a fit challenge-- a little dog with a big-dog chest and shoulders. Harnesses that are sized by weight alone are never a success and we were intrigued to find this design specifically for short-snouted dogs. Despite Tyke's diminutive height (he's maybe 15 inches at the shoulder), his chest measurement puts him in a size XL. And I mean he's just barely within the XL range. Having a 28-inch girth, he's at the top limit of the XL harness. With his chest, shoulders and legs as stout as bullies inherently are, I was concerned that the harness might be tight enough to chafe and pinch. But no, the fit is perfect. He has room for free movement in all directions and we may find we can snug it up just a bit as we work with it. The 'X' design at the chest gives his airway clear passage, and it looks pretty cool, too. And we're loving the step-in feature to put it on him. All in all, this is probably the only harness that will fit Tyke well and comfortably. It looks great, it's super easy to get him into and he'll wear it proudly. So glad we bought it!

This is the best harness I have found for my little Shih Tzu dogs. The step-in design makes it easy to put on--nothing has to go over their heads, which is a plus. The "X" portion of the harness sits low on the chest to keep pressure off the trachea so they don't have pressure in the wrong spot even if they pull on the lead. The mesh design dries quickly and is cooler than other harness types for summer wear. Gooby seems to have altered the design a bit, as the straps feel a bit wider than previous harnesses I have purchased in the same design. It's a little tricky getting the fit exactly right, but worth it to keep my dogs comfortable.

My cocker spaniel/king charles mix is prone to coughing from allergies and the traditional harness we had seemed to exacerbate the problem, especially when he pulled on walks. This harness has helped his issue! The harness sits lower on his chest and does not irritate or push on his throat whatsoever. It is roomier under the armpits so it doesn't give him that icky irritation that so many other harnesses do. This is great quality and has held up during many walks and lots of play. I will say the only issue I had, was that it is a little annoying to put on. It takes a bit of a learning curve with which direction must be the top and how best to get my dog inside of it. I found it is easier to slide it over one leg at a time, hold up the first side with your hand and clip with the other free hand at the top.

Love the Gooby harnesses. Have purchased many over the last 13 years. They are hard-wearing and attractive. Based on Miss Lily's tolerance, comfortable. They work well with the build of the schipperke and don't cause them to gag and choke. New puppies in October and time to purchase new Goobies... This last go 'round of harnesses has not been good. I have purchased multiples for the newest schipperkes as the existing ones will not fit (too large). The ones purchased three years ago are still going strong, just too large. Within a week, two of them have fallen apart while walking the puppies. The harnesses just came apart. Where the black webbing meets the mesh. I have purchased the "step in" and "over the head" no choke. The puppies are only wearing them when out of their crates: headed outside for play or bathroom breaks. I don't like to leave them on 24x7. When the last one disintegrated, the puppy was otherwise occupied. I was able to swoop in and pick her up before she headed off for parts unknown. Now in search of a "no choke" harness that will be more secure.

Finally! A harness that doesn't choke the trachea on my 12lb Yorkie with a 10 inch neck and 17 inch chest. I bought a medium. It is hard to adjust but that ensures it isn't going to become loose. When pulled the harness does not ride up to the neck. I have gone through multiple harness that claim it doesn't choke but they rude up the neck. Finally one that truly does not go on the neck!!

This was great and easy to put on my pup.

Mycket nöjd! Det är den enda selen som passar min hund!

Lovely little harness but to small for my dog

It's only okay. It curls and does not lay flat, no matter how tight or loose it is. I'd not buy again but maybe it would work for bigger dogs.

Amo este tipo de percheras para mis perritos. El único detalle es que la pedí morada y llego azul marino (más barata, por cierto).
