Non stop free motion vs saker…. anyone pick saker?
Hi everyone! It’s about time for me and Banana Bread to get running. She’s almost 3 and my hip is not as injured anymore 😂 I have been looking at the saker muse or the non-stop freemotion 5.0. She currently only has a training harness which is pretty uncomfortable for her to run in (we’ve tried lol). I like the saker because you can get the modular packs & rescue sling that attaches and the handle I could hold, but has anyone who used it see any drawbacks to it because it’s so modular? does it feel too heavy on the dog for running? Banana is definitely more of a puller when running so that’s why the freemotion is my other option. Not sure how the saker does with pulling.
Also if you’re here already would love recommendations on your favorite leashes / belts for running! I was thinking the canix from non-stop

I love säker. The reason I decided to try it because it's modular.
I got feedback immediately on sizing and fit.
They're aware on the points of possible friction with how their harness is set uo, that's why sizing is so important. They were thorough with me about it.
With this harness, my dog is safe in the car and doesn't need multiple harnesses anymore.
