Fantastic quality harness. Durable and fits very very well.
Better than Pets at Home and /or Cocopup

I love the product and your excellent customer service. The email you sent was so kind and the link to the video very informative.

prompt delivery
fully adjustable harness fits are very athletic Labrador perfectly

Lightning fast delivery, and delighted with the harness.

A great company, lovely quality harnesses, leads and collars, nothing is too much trouble, communication is five star and would highly recommend

Very quick delivery the item arrived in good order. The fit was perfect as described

Lovely harness. Difficult to adjust at first - I'm ancient and have weakish fingers - but managed in the end. That's the trouble with having a crazy, tiny dachshund!! Anna was very helpful and friendly, and was happy to support. She offered to take a return, but it proved not to be necessary.

So far so good!
It’s taken the humans a little while to get to grips with which way up the harness goes when it’s fully unclipped!
The harness fits well (pug) and is ideal for a pug with myelopathy meaning he doesn’t need to lift legs.

Simple instructions on how to measure the dog to get the correct sized harness. Very straightforward online ordering. Extremely rapid delivery to our remote location. Great quality, very well constructed product.

Excellent customer service, immediate, friendly replies to queries, advice on which size harness to choose, and on returns policy, plus exceptionally fast delivery. Thank you, Anna.
We have a 3-y-old Norfolk Terrier, who is fine in open country on an extending lead, but who is very reactive to passing traffic when walking along a pavement. He pulls with all his strength and lunges towards cars in a panic. I’ve tried sitting for hours at our gate with a bowl of treats, and trying to divert him with treats etc when out walking in town, but once he gets excited he ignores everything except his need to react. He then pulls really hard when we walk on, and it’s tiring and destabilising for me. I got a Perfect Fit harness when he was nearly a year old, correctly fitted by a representative of their firm at our home, to avoid strain on his neck from a collar and lead, and used the chest clip option to try to steer him, but it didn’t work well and he wasn't comfortable.
So I tried a Barkridges Trufit Comfort harness. I attached a lead to the top clip and a second lead to the chest clip, and we set off up the road.
I was amazed. He walked along sensibly and quietly, without pulling. A car came by, but he didn’t interrupt his sniffing and peeing on the first lamp post. He flinched a little at the second car, but walked on without pulling. I don’t know why, it felt like magic to me, after so many walks with him going at full steam, and me worrying whether I could hold him and prevent an accident.
I think he’s more comfortable in his Trufit harness because the straps going between his legs and connecting to the top part are at a wider angle than on his Perfect Fit harness. Also the padding is wider and thus spreads over a larger area of contact. Maybe he even feels more reassured by the firm contact and body support it provides? I’m not sure whether it will be rather hot for him in summer, though - Norfolks have thick double coats, excellent in winter but are very sensitive to heat.
I also ordered a matching lead. I sent this back, as although I liked the idea of the extra loops, I found even the topmost loop was too low down for me to reach, when the lead was connected to his central chest clip, because Norfolks are such small terriers, with very short legs. I’d imagine the same problem might arise with Dachshunds? In any case I felt the lead was too wide, thick and heavy to be comfortable with a tiny dog. A thinner mesh with higher loops, or more of them, would be better. However, the lead would be excellent for larger dogs with longer legs. Another option might be a double-ended lead with a clip each end, so the handler could fasten two clips where more control was needed
and then undo one clip to give a longer lead in open safe spaces.

Excellent quality products and very fast customer service (on a Sunday) as I had to exchange for a larger size.

Well made harness, delivered very quickly.

Wonderful service, fast delivery. The item was of superior quality. The best fitting harness ever bought.

Halti arrived next day. I fitted it to my 10month old GSD he loved it. Other haltis just didn't fit but this one with the deep chest option was perfect. He didn't need any time to get used it it even though he has never had one before we went straight out on his WALK. Perfect👍

Lovely customer support with helpful advice on the products and what best to purchase, will definitely buy from again as they’re great quality too

The sizing help was spot on. My Westie always backed away with an over head harness, not so now. Bright pink for my girl also great!

Good choice and website easy to use. Exceptional service and very impressed with the quality of the harness and lead. Allowing for different size options for chest length and depth ensured a perfect fit.

I found the ordering of the harness straight forward and was most impressed when it arrived 24 hours later. Substantially made and easy to adjust and fit. Perhaps of more relevance was the improvement of my dog’s heal work when wearing it. I would definitely recommend this product.

This dog harness is well made and of high quality. It is comfortable on my dog, a West Highland white terrier.

Prompt delivery. Harness extremely well made, with plenty of adjustment straps. Very clear video and comprehensive instructions on how to adjust harness to fit. Very happy with harness. Love the dark blue colour too.
