Need a spook harness--where do I get one?

I recently adopted a beautiful, sweet boy I've named Reggie.  He is very timid, not quite a spook, but almost.  He is fine in the house and back yard but is terrified out in the big scary world.  Unfortunately there are times when I need to take him places, such as the vet and maybe play group.  I am terrified that he is going to slip out of his harness and be gone.  I have seen pictures of hounds with a special harness that cannot be slipped out of--there is an extra strap around the tuck.  Does any one know where I can purchase one?

Probably the Freedom No-Pull harness from 2 Hounds.  https://2houndsdesign.com/product-category/shop-now/freedom-no-pull-harness/

I purchased this for Petunia who used to pull on walks and would also refuse to walk once she decided that she was done.   With just a collar I was afraid of hurting her when things got a little stubborn.  This harness was great and allowed me to get her moving again without injury. There are sizing instructions on the site. 

I only needed to use the harness with one leash connection. It is capable of 2 connections if you need them.

I use the Two Hounds Harness with the double lead.  It is actually less expensive on Chewy than buying it from two hounds.

Ditto to the Flagline.

We don’t have a spook, but a front-amp tripod and it is very secure.

The Houndstown Safety Harness is the best I have used for a spook - it has the extra third strap around the waist, and you can get a leash from them with a double snap, so you can attach it to the harness and collar as a back up. For a general harness for greyhounds, the 2Hounds Freedom No-Pull Harness is my favorite. They also have the double snap leash. 

You can also use a coupler to attach his harness and collar together, with the idea that if he slips one, he would still be attached to the other.
