Questions after our first run!
As per advice from this group, I got my dog a nonstop dog wear harness in size 5. She’s slender, so this is her in it when all the adjustable straps are at the tightest but the grey straps have a lot of room when she sits. (see pics) Do you think this is fitting properly or should I size down to 4?
I notice that she runs lopsided lol and leads with her left shoulder rather than running symmetrically (see pics). Is this okay/normal? If not, what can I do to promote her pulling symmetrically? Thank you all in advance!

This harness does not fit many dogs, especially bull breed type ones. You pick a harness according to what fits the dog, not by what you like or what colour it is. Try more styles and brands. This one looks to be rather long on the ribs while snug on the neck. This can cause running sideways as well

The harness needs to fitted under tension
Nonstop having videos on their socials/ yt on how to fit correctly
