“Reagan is my service dog and we needed a harness which can hold up to daily wear as well as fit under his ADI vest. We have tried many brands with disappointing results; bulk, pressure on shoulders, multiple pieces, complex connections. I have previously used the Front Range Harness and loved it, however, the bulk made it difficult to fit under ADI vest. A friend told me about the Hi & Light. WOW!” — Melissa K. · ruffwear.com

Naturally, I've continued to purchase this harness for foster dogs and for my new puppy. I recommend it to all my dog training clients too. Having the front and back clip is excellent and I love the handle on the back. When we are out advent” — Mountaineer · kurgo.com
