This is my favorite mobility harness I have used for my service dog. I have balance issues and need to use my service dog for a variety of tasks. This is my second service dog and so I have used a variety of dog harnesses. My two top priorities in a great piece of gear are that it's easy to get on and off my dog and that it is fully adjustable. Most of the harnesses I have tried that are fully adjustable are then hard to get on and off my dog. This one slips over his head easily and only one leg has to go through an opening to get the harness onto his back. With mobility assistance, the harness needs to be placed right over the dogs' shoulders and not slip around when in use. My dog has a shallow chest but has a rather large rib cage so having an adjustable strap on his chest as well as the strap between the chest and the rib cage underneath him is super helpful. This allows me to customize the entire harness to fit my own unique dog. Also, I found the handle to be excellently placed and just the right size to get my hand into it quickly while needing extra balance support from my dog. I love that I have 3 rings to choose from when adding leashes and handles to this harness. This is excellently made, very durable and sturdy yet it is nicely cushioned for the comfort of my dog. He can wear it all day without and chaffing in his armpits and he does not ask for me to take it off of him like other harnesses I have tried. I have had a Dean and Tyler Guide Dog harness for 10 years, used it on 3 service dogs, and it is still in perfect condition. That particular harness does not adjust in the chest and though it is a great harness for my past service dog it does not work at all for my current dog the way he is shaped. I took a risk in getting this new harness knowing I could send it back easily if necessary thanks to their excellent return policy and I felt fairly confident in the Dean and Tyler brand having lots of experience with many brands of service dog gear. I am seriously over the moon delighted with this Balance Assistance Harness. It's perfect!
