I should have said extreme pullers and breeds that are working dogs that want to work by pulling. I find they still pull on back hooking harnesses. One thing too, If a dog is a lunger, it's tough to redirect from the back. Much easier to redirect from the front where you have greater chance of turning them away from what they are reactive to. Due to this, I have designed a front martingale and back martingale harness that uses a dual lead just for these reactive types. Gives the handler the option of minor corrections from the back hook and redirections from the front hook. But it takes some coordination and a easy to teach handler. LOL

Otherwise, I too, have had great success with the Freedom Harnesses.
