Question about Walkezee harness

I have tried the easy walk harness by Premier and I did not like it. I have seen on this board and on line the Walkezee www.walkezee.com harness. Just wanted to see how many of you have used it, how do you like it. My biggest concern is that living in the US I cannot get it here, and getting it and having it shipped from UK is a bit pricey. (Just do not want to throw my money away )

Let me know what you think.

I haven't used that one, but we have the Easy Walk harness. You can get it at www.sitstay.com for about $15. I am in the US and shipping was normal $7 or so.
We just got one a couple weeks ago and LOVE IT! You have to be careful though, they can slip out of it easily. We don't use it around the house, only for walks. Roxy loves to chew it if she has it on in the house.

Plus, the Easy Walk fits around the chest better. I had a hard time finding a harness that would fit around a chesty boxer.

I think it's pretty good But it's also fairly expensive once you convert into $US. I would think it would be quite possible to get an alternative over there that will work just as well. Lots of people on the board like the gentle leader easy walk harness...

I just happened to find a similar item in my local pet store called the 'Lupi'. It literally loops around Zoeys legs. It worked immediately! She didn't want to jump up, or pull. She's not much of a puller unless she wants to get to the dog/person up ahead! It's not much to look at (black rope), but boy does it ever work. Good luck in your search. I found mine by accident!

I use the walkezee harness, it's been a godsend and I couldn't recommend it more
