Our new IDC harness arrived! I was super excited about it! Now it is time to start ordering funny side patches

Wow, that looks like a very sturdy harness.

Does this harness slide to one side when there is a leash attached and your dog isn't directly in front of you?

One of my favorite harnesses! I love the color of yours! There is almost no sliding to the side.

I loved that color as well, and was one of my options, but I was afraid that I would get it dirty in about a week, and wouldn't look as nice anymore. Once you fit it properly it does not slide either way.

What is the purpose of them being so bulky? I wouldnt mind getting one too put Kryptos In Training patches on instead of a harness and a vest.

I think it needs to be bulky for the handle to function properly. The handle is very sturdy.

What is the handle for? Is this a training aid harness or just a traditional harness thats bulkier?
Our SDiT is outgrowing his vest and walking harness (at 15wks lol) and this would be a good alternative if its not a training harness type thing.

I use it as a tradition harness. I think the handle is mainly for convenience. My dog is a strong puller and I hold on to the handle to keep him closer to me when I need to (like if someone is passing us on a trail, or at the vet). It's much easier on the hands then holding onto a leash. It's also really easy to put on and take off, you just put their head through the front loop and buckle underneath.

Hmmmmmm. I think that will be our next step our current set up is not a good long term solution. The velcro is pulling the step in harness.

Maybe it does look bulky, but in reality once you have the product in your hand you will realize how light it is and you will love it. I was doing lots of research before I purchased mine. It has a breathable, skin friendly inner liner, which was really important to me. The velcro-fixed handle can be used to hold or left you dog at any time. Also you can bottom it down when you don't need it, so it does not get stuck at anytime. People will see it from far away the patches, so you won't have to worry about that either. Over all, I believe this product is what you are looking for. Hope I was able to help!

Sounds like a good interim solution. We are in Florida so the less stuff the better. Plus i have to take his harness off now to put his vest on which is a PITA when you have 3 young kids in tow and 2 are runners. This set up i can just get him a new collar for walking.
