Scoutsmom Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 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. Quote Camp Broodie.

Houndtime Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I use the Two Hounds Harness with the double lead. It is actually less expensive on Chewy than buying it from two hounds.

MerseyGrey Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 We use the Ruffwear Flagline harness, which has three straps under the body, two lead attachments on the top and a handle. It’s very secure Quote Buddy Molly 🌈 5/11/10-10/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatterseaBrindl Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Ditto to the Flagline. We don’t have a spook, but a front-amp tripod and it is very secure.

phall Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I have a shy girl and I use a safety harness from HoundsTown. It's great - two straps around the body. https://www.houndstown.com/shop/harnesses/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickiesmom Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 You can get a spook harness and a number of other hound safety items here: Hound Safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferS Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 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.
