I bought this harness back when it was called the "Pinnacle", probably 10 years ago. I still use it every time I am out with my dog and hardly shows any wear. 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

We knew from buying this harness before that we needed an XL harness for our 25-pound dog. He's thin - not stocky - so maybe even an XL wouldn't work for a medium-sized dog. That said, we love this harness; we've tried dozens over the years and this is the one we like best. It's easy to put on, sturdy enough to stay on even through squirrel-lunges, and comfortable for the dogs. They last forever, keerstn · chewy.com
