were cumbersome and hard to get the dogs in and out of. Some had buckles and holes like a belt, and didn't allow for tightening. Others were too loose and our canine kids would slip out of them on walks - which is pretty darn scary.
All that changed when we found Puppia soft dog harnesses, thanks to Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund (of whom we are big fans). We saw that harness on Crusoe, who is a black and tan, short-haired Dachshund that looks just like our Tyler and we ordered one.
The first one we got was for our newest family member, Dash, a Chihuahua-Dachshund mix. He's 8 pounds and he took a size small. Our 19 pound Dachshund, Tyler took a medium. The best thing is that they have adjustable straps so you can make them fit perfectly. They are comfortable on the dog because there is padding in the chest and underneath area. It also helps the dog walker to have better control with the leash clasp on the top of the harness, on the dog's back.
This is truly the best harness we have found for our smaller kids!
