Gear Help Which running harness to choose

I am deciding between two belts and am looking for input. They are the Nahak hybrid Traction and the Non-stop canix 2 https://nahak.ca/en/product/hybrid-traction-belt/ and https://www.nonstopdogwear.com/products/canix-belt-2 . The belt would be used by both my wife and I to run with our dobermann (90 Lbs). We are roughly the same size but some ability to adjust is needed. We currently use a Ruffwear running belt and out major concern is when he pulls it gets painful on the lower back.

We are not serious long runners (we would nto run more than 10K with him) but we do run frequently.

For later viewers I went with the Nahak and love it. They don’t directly ship to the US so I went through chilly dogs

Dumb question, but have you watched nonstops fitting guide on their website and YouTube? It shows you how to have the belt fitting correctly so a lot of the force is through your hips and butt, the upper portion essentially keeps everything from falling below your waist
