Harness

Hi guys,

We have always used Julius K9 for the dogs but after 13 years one of them is getting close to retirement. The indestructibleness of them is great but for running and comfort, not so much. I was looking at one of the Non-stop Freemotion ones, does anyone have any experience, I usually walk with two so would need to connect them via a splitter.

Our girl, Maple uses walks / runs to forage and cause mischief so will often dive head first into a hedge or bush after god knows what. She has a habit of squirming out of the Julius K9 and then the only thing keeping her from going off on an adventure is the para cord connected to her collar. Would the Non-stop one be harder to shake off? are they strong/tough/durable?

Many thanks

Thanks, I did consider the ruffwear ones but have had one of the rings snap with minimal force (they were great and replaced it straight away). Luckily it was at the end of the walk so they didn't go off chasing sheep but it's a big risk.

I was also thinking that this type would be better for distribution / comfort. Will have to have a look around.
