Two attachment points are what separate a genuine no-pull harness from a decorative one. A ring on the back is for a dog who already walks nicely beside you. A ring on the chest turns a lunge into a gentle sideways redirect, because the dog's own momentum steers them back towards you instead of forwards. This harness has both, so it does a job while you are training and carries on being useful once you have finished.

A padded plate spreads the load across the breastbone, which is the part of a dog built to take pressure, rather than the throat, which is not. Adjustable buckles let you set the chest and the girth separately, so the whole thing sits square instead of twisting round to one side within a hundred metres. The soft lining keeps webbing off bare skin behind the front legs, where rubbing usually starts, and reflective trim runs along the outer fabric.

• Front and back D-rings for lead attachment
• Padded chest plate to spread pressure
• Adjustable buckles for a squared-up fit
• Soft lining behind the front legs
• Reflective trim for low light
• Sizes S to XL in azure, pine green, obsidian black and pink

On sizing: measure the chest girth behind the front legs and buy to that figure, ignoring your dog's weight entirely. The straps should admit two fingers flat underneath and no more. Any looser and a determined dog reverses straight out of it, which is the failure that actually matters on a busy pavement.

What the options mean. Sizes run from S to L — £22.99 for the smallest, £25.99 for the largest.

Who it's for: Dogs still learning not to pull, and owners who want a front clip without resorting to a correction tool.
