A dog that pulls on a neck collar is putting all of that force through their throat. A vest harness spreads it across the chest and shoulders instead, and this one adds the front D-ring that actually changes the behaviour: clip the lead there and a pull turns the dog gently back towards you rather than driving them forward. The back ring stays for the days when nobody is pulling anywhere.

The body is air-mesh with soft padding across the chest, which is the part that matters if your dog wears a harness for an hour a day. Mesh moves air, and padding stops strap edges rubbing behind the front legs where harness sores start. Reflective stitching runs through the panels so headlights and torchlight pick you out on a dark lane. Straps adjust at the chest and girth, so you can tune the fit rather than accepting the nearest size.

• Air-mesh body with padded chest panel
• Twin D-rings: back clip for steady walkers, front clip for pullers
• Reflective stitching for early mornings and dark evenings
• Adjustable straps with a buckle closure
• Sizes XS to L in black, grey, navy blue and brown
• 240g to 300g depending on size

On sizing, because this is where harnesses go wrong. Buy on chest girth measured right behind the front legs, not on your dog's weight, since two dogs of the same weight can be two sizes apart. Fitted correctly you should slide two fingers flat under any strap. The front ring reduces pulling; it does not train it out on its own, and a dog who has pulled for years still needs the lead work.

What the options mean. Sizes run from XS to L — £10.99 for the smallest, £13.99 for the largest.

Who it's for: Everyday walkers with a dog who leans into the lead, and anyone walking on roads through the dark half of the year.
