Ruffwear Front Range Harness — review & rating
Is Ruffwear Front Range Harness a good choice?
The everyday benchmark: a comfortable, well-padded harness with both a front anti-pull clip and a back clip, four adjustment points and reflective trim. Premium-priced and worth fitting carefully — for determined escape artists a 3-point/anti-escape design is safer.

Frequently asked questions
Front clip or back clip?
Use the front clip for training and pullers — it steers the dog's chest toward you, reducing pulling. Use the back clip for relaxed walks and for dogs that already walk on a loose leash.
How should it fit?
Snug but not tight — about two fingers under each strap, the chest panel clear of the armpits, and no rotation when the dog moves. Measure girth behind the front legs before buying.
