I wanted to love this harness
I wanted to love this harness! My dog wears a harness all day everyday when she goes outside on her chain/tie out she’s in a chain. She was outside in this harness and slipped out of it and got away. We had to go looking for her after that. When we got her back home I put it on her again and tested it. I was able to effortlessly pull it over her head and off her body making it essentially useless. I wanted to love it and it’s probably good for dogs that aren’t escape artists but not mine. I’m just disappointed I have a 45 dollar harness that doesn’t work.

Firstly, we are sorry to hear that this happened. We are all also pet and dog owners and understand how scary that must have been. While we cannot guarantee it's Houdini-proof as some dogs are just too clever for their own good, it should be very hard to escape out of if properly sized and fitted. We recommend only about a finger width or two of space beneath that belly strap for a nice, snug fit! Also ensure it is secured behind the widest area of their ribs rather than the front legs only. To achieve that, you can loosen the front Velcro chest strap as needed, so the harness sits further back on the dog. This should eliminate their ability to slip out. Sometimes one minor adjustment can make a big difference!For a true escape artist, you might consider a "safety strap" or "safety cord" option that attaches to a collar and the leash for added security for wriggly pups. It's just a backup safety precaution that you can pair with our harness for peace of mind.
