Saffron Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 OK, it came today and so far Murphy P and I are hating it. I've been fiddling with it and it is quite possible that I ordered a size too large. Murphy P was on the cusp between an L and XL. Note: We are putting Murphy P in a harness *just in case* he has early signs of LP. We want to take any and all stress off his neck. But should he get tangled? So: on a tall skinny grey who never pulls on leash where should the D ring end up? Behind the shoulder blades? It seems to be working forward. How tight should the velvety bit be? I have it as tight as possible without going down a size. I know it is velvet but I don't want it cutting in behind his elbows. I just went to the WWW site and they don't have any pics showing it drifting forward. Oh, and where do you attach the tags? Any advice? Thanks!

Saffron Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 LOL! The lack of responses convinces me that I bought the wrong size. Nothing against the Wiggles Wags and Whiskers Freedom Harness, just that Murphy P walked out of/tangled in the too big size . . . I know I can swap sizes, even if I was in the wrong. Gotta love them!

Xan Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Instructions from their site. You probably already found this, but just in case you missed it. I don't have any experience with this model (just the regular one), but if you've got that much slop, you probably do have the wrong size. Good luck!

Guest ss556 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I hope the instructions helped you. I don't know from that kind of harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Sorry I didn't see this yesterday! Fletcher wears this harness and is between L and XL. I use the XL for him because he has the "stocky" greyhound build, but if your dog is the lean and rangy type, you would probably do better with the L. The D ring should go just behind the sholders, so that the velvet part is straight up the sides of his body, if that makes sense? The WWW people are very nice about helping you adjust the harness if you call them, but it sounds like you really do need the smaller size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
