A dog harness is a dog walking staple. In fact, many pet parents opt for dog harnesses instead of dog collars. Why? Because they help distribute pressure away from their fur baby’s neck that’s caused by the leash, especially in dogs who pull. The best dog harnesses will have secure leash attachment points, be made with durable, easy to clean materials and have several adjustment points for a comfortable fit.
We’ve rounded up the best-selling, top-rated dog harnesses that have been tested and approved by Chewy dog owners like you, so you can rest assured that you’re getting the best one for your dog-walking duties.

Best Overall Dog Harness
-
Harness was perfect for our new addition to the family.
My husband rescued this puppy after someone left him at the dump. The harness is helping to train him to walk with my husband.
-
Works great!
This is our second Voyager harness. They fit great, much better than the single strap harnesses where our dog often ended up with a leg out or a strap that inhibited comfortable movement. The summer version is nice and lightweight.
-
large fits the larger of small breed perfectly
We have a chihuahua / beagle / terrier mix. About 15 pounds. The measurements are exact on the chart they provide. Fits her perfect! The other one we had would slip off over her leg while she was laying down.
Best No-Pull Dog Harness
-
Wouldn’t be Without
This is such a great harness, I have used them for years. I initially got one through an obedience class. We were shown how to adjust for a perfect fit. This harness is the easiest to use, it is comfortable, and it has eliminated pulling. All of my dogs, big and small, have one of these.
-
Great harness!
My dog is 110 pounds of energy. I need a well constructed harness in order to control her without choking her. This one does the job and allows this 77 year old woman to walk her without worrying about getting pulled of my feet. It's also easy on, easy off.
-
Really Does Make Long Walks Easy
This harness gives us the leverage we need when walking (and training) a large dog (Doberman) when they pull suddenly. It also gives the dog the feedback they need without hurting them.
Best Harness for a Puppy
-
great harness
Great harness for a Border Collie who is not able to cease pulling on a regular leash. This is the only harness that our dog has taken to & the center chest lead ring works great to discourage pulling. Wish I'd found this harness earlier ! !
-
great product
Just adopted an adult Lab who is a bit of a 'puller' when walking and gets overly excited meeting new people and dogs, Friends recommended the no-pull harness so I checked it out. Glad I got the deluxe version for the extra comfort. Easy to adjust Easy on and off. Well-made and sturdy construction. Simple instructions to explain how to fit and use the harness properly (releasing pressure on the chest as reward for walking properly at heel) Took a day or 2 for my old boy to get used to the harness restricting his movements but immediately stopped the pulling and lunging to greet other dogs. Walks like a perfect gentleman now!

Great for pulling dogs
I ordered two harnesses for two dogs that pull a bit too much. These collars immediately reduced pulling significantly. - Really amazing.
Best Small Dog Harness
-
This harness is a home run!
I recently adopted a Maltese and the harness they had on her didn’t fit well and wasn’t easy to get on her. Just a simple measurement and my order was placed. It arrived quickly and is a perfect fit. We are so very happy!

Best
This is the best harness for our ShihTzu. It doesn’t choke him like some others. Also, he is a Houdini with most harnesses, but not with this one. Have ordered several.
-
Perfect little walking harnesses
I puppy sat for 10 days and he wasn’t leash trained or had been on walks in the neighborhood. I ordered the same harness I use for my dogs. This was perfect for the little guy and now he loves walks!

Best Dog Harness with Handle
-
Good For Enthusiastic Pups
My Doodle is absolutely over-the-moon when greeting stranger as well as those she loves, so control through a sturdy, but comfortable harness is essential for her training. She looks innocent but has herculean strength-my broken kneecap and torn rotator cuff can attest to that. Fortunately I found this harness. It protects her neck and balances the weight around her body when she goes haywire with love at first meet! I really find it as essential and at a great price.

PerfectHarness
They might be a little expensive but they are totally worth the money. two totally different size dogs and they both fit them great. Great quality.
-
Finn loves it
Finn did not like the first one I got...this harness seems more comfortable for our Wheaten puppy. Also, I appreciate the handle for those times I need to keep him near and calm.
Best Dog Hiking Harness
-
A perfect fit
I like the breast plate style as they don't twist on the dog as much. And being in our 60's and taking them to the vet, the single collar around the neck made hard to control them when they see the other animals.. Now the lead is centered on the dog making it easier on both of us!
-
Great Harness
I bought 2 of these harnesses for my two cavaliers. They are secure and fir well. The colors are very attractive. I ordered the purple and teal.
-
We love this harness. It lets their shoulders move freely and the handle has been helpful with my reactive pup. Like a lot of others say, it does run small. My dogs are medium size dogs (around 40 pounds each) and they are wearing a Large.

Sporn No Pull Dog Harness
I originally ordered the wrong size and another model, customer service had me donate the one I didn’t need to a dog shelter and helped me order this harness. This product is comfortable for the dog, doesn’t pull his neck and is very secure. Great product! Also, it’s wonderful when a company wants to give back to the community it serves. I will continue to use Chewy.com to purchase items for all my pets!
-
Works perfectly
Our dog loves this! If we use a collar and leash, he pulls like crazy. Put this harness on and he walks perfectly. Who would’ve thought?
-
When I called with a question about the Sporn harness. Michelle was very helpful. Anytime I’ve called your representatives are always pleasant and helpful!!!
Best Dog Car Harness
-
Best harness ever
I have a lab mix dog who is a Houdini with harnesses and doesn’t like to be covered. I’ve tried four different harnesses before this one. This one is strong and without a lot of cover and also works as a car seat belt. It’s easy to use. Exactly as advertised and exactly what I needed. I love it.
-
Dachshund Fitting
We have not used in the car yet, but it is very durable and well made. I originally ordered an extra small for my 14lb dachshund and it fit him circumstance wise but the length of the center piece was too short for a dachshunds deep chest. However the size Small worked worked perfect. Something to think about if you have a dachshund.
-
awesome
This harness is awesome for big strong dogs thanks Chewy s help line for the tip on this product Iv not had any luck on a good harness. And this one is awesome Thank You chewy s for the help For ever great full Max loves it
Best Mesh Harness for Dogs
-
Perfect. The chest piece is long enough that the front straps don't rub under her front legs. She is at the borderline for medium versus large but the medium is plenty big enough.
-
a great purchase
I’ve had this harness and leash since my dog was a puppy he’s seven now! It has been washed after every bath and camping trip for seven years! It has kept its nice color never frayed or any of the clasps broke! I’m looking or replace this now only because I’m bored of the color! My dogs a real puller when walking so it’s strong as well. Sadly they only have girly colors in stock so I’ll have to shop elsewhere but I’ll definitely stick with blueberry pet!#blueberrypetamazing

Great harness!
I have an Australian Cattle puppy who has a lot of energy when we go for walks. This harness is fantastic and makes it easy for me to control my pup. The colors are also really pretty

BEST harness for an aggressive puller!
My dog thinks he's a sled dog and wants to run far and fast. Unfortunately, I don't have a fenced-in area for him to run, so we walk a couple of times a day to get some energy out. When we got him from the shelter, they gave us a harness and said he would pull off any collar they had put on him (his head is skinnier than his neck so there's nothing to keep the collar on!). But, while pulling us behind him in the months after we got him, he easily escaped from that harness, and 2-3 others that I tried. Until this one!! I keep the leash hooked to the loop on his chest instead of his back. Not only can't he escape from it, but it slows him...

Petsafe 3 in 1 harness
This is a great harness. I love the clip closure in the front and the back. This way I use the fro t for walking, I have more control and the back for securing in the car. The fit is great, follow the measurements. I adjusted when I received it and it’s perfect.
-
Perfect harness for sensitive dog
The 3 buckles are perfect since she hates things going over her head. There are 4 ways to adjust it with 2 martingale-style parts that help it fit her perfectly without any room to escape. I love the dual D rings
Best Budget Dog Harness
-
Adorable
I love it at first I thought I’d have to return it takes a minute to figure out how to adjust it but it looks great on her. If it’s better than any honest, I bought so far for her love it I’m gonna get more colors.
-
Comfortable and effective
Woof. My people got me the red one. I love it. It's comfortable and easy to adjust (I lost a couple of pounds from summer walks--don't mean to brag) and it's really cool that you can hook the tether from the chest or back. I gives this a paws up! Woof.

My pup, Daisy, chewed a hold through it in one day. she wiggled till she could get her mouth to it and chewed it right through. What do you have that's Daisy puppy proof???
