The harness works great. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. I did not find it difficult to put on the first time. I had my son pet our dog and give him "belly rubs" while I worked with the harness. The biggest problem I've had with the harness is that our dog is like Houdini. He can escape from everything (which is why we bought the harness in the first place.) He worries at it and pulls at it until somehow he manages to get his back legs out. Then he jumps over the fence again. My advice if you are using this harness would be twofold: 1st, don't throw away the instructions. If your dog manages to escape, you will need the instructions to get the harness back on properly. (I learned this the hard way.) 2nd: Buy a 2nd harness as a back up. That way if a piece gets worn through or lost, you have it. (This hasn't happened to me yet, but I wish I had bought 2 of them. They are inexpensive and it would be nice to have a 2nd one. The one I have is starting to look pretty worn because my dog chews on it. Eventually, I think he'll chew through one of the straps.

I have an Irish setter that can jump four foot fences in one leap and climbs six foot fences and where I live there is a law about not having dogs on tie outs. My dogs is housebroke but when she does go out she escapes. I was told by the Irish setter rescue to get one of these no jump harnesses, that it not only prevents dogs from jumping up but from jumping over fences.

Well, it is not easy to get on a dog that moves and took almost an hour. Then I let her out to watch and well, she tried to jump the first time and stumbled so she walked around the yard a few times, took off at high speed and flew over the fence with no problem at all.

Also, the harness keeps sliding over to one side, it doesn't stay like the picture shows. I thought maybe it wasn't on right so I rechecked and it was on according to the directions.

Maybe it works for some but not for my very determined Irish Setter.

On our package we had pretty good instructions, so it did not take my husband long to put it on. However, although it did work well my dog chewed the leg and next thing you know it was off and chewed to pieces. Too bad they didn't have a stronger material. I would recommend this product to anyone that has a dog without a chewing problem.

I purchased the No Jump Harness by Classic Products. The concept is great, but it is so complicated to get on. It took 20 minutes to wrestle the thing on and everyone got frustrated, including the dog. By the time we finally got the contraption on, the dog just sat there and wouldn't move. The B clip malfunctioned and won't stay closed. The straps are way too narrow and flimsy for a very large dog. When we finally dragged him outside, he walked a little then saw the dangling straps flapping in the breeze and then chewed on them as though they were a toy. Does someone else have a better suggestion? Maybe one designed for specific breeds or wider - sturdier straps?

This is a great idea, but it is so hard to get on! My dog is very active, and getting her to keep still long enough to attach that many straps, much less adjust them, is nearly impossible!

a good product that will work on larger dogs. it does not work on small dogs such as a dachshund who likes to jump. need a product specifically for small dogs that is lighter and made for the smaller size- not one that supposedly adjusts to be small.

I purchased this for my son's dog, who loves to jump. It would stop the jumping, but the dog chewed through the thing in 30 minutes, and it's ruined. And figuring out how to put it on the dog IS rocket science, especially if you are spacially chalenged, as my family assures me that I am. It would be great if the dog didn't destroy it in short order.

I suppose I can't be too upset after having paid only $8, but this harness was lacking in several ways:

1) The material is thin and in no way chew-proof, nor even chew resistant. Your dog will most likely chew his or her way out of the harness quickly.

2) The plastic loops that are meant to allow proper sizing are too loose allow the harness to slacken as the dog attempts to jump. This means that you have to constantly re-tighten the device. We overcame this by simply knotting the ends, but the design is flawed.

3) Assembly is overly complicated. I like to think I'm a smart guy and it took me a good 15 minutes to figure this thing out. Furthermore, unless your dog is the kind who will sit still for anything, it will be a chore to get it on and off.

Overall, once it you get it on the dog and make sure that the ends are knotted to prevent loosening, the harness does work. I just have to believe that there is a better way.

I would recommend an Innotek training collar for any sort of dog training need you might have. Amazon carries a few, but your local pet store is likely to have a better selection.

Bought it yesterday, it's going back today. It took 15 minutes to put the thing on... a good adult dog who wasn't fighting it, too. When it was complete, it was very snug on the dog without being *too* tight, yet continued to slide off of her as she moved. Perhaps this wasn't made for short-legged dogs like Bassets?

A nice treat for my dog!, it took him five minutes to chew it apart, get rid of it and jump over the fence to enjoy his freedom. I was expecting something of some quality... disappointed. Money wasted!
