Product overview: BaoCheng NO Pull Dog Harness,for Small Medium Large Dogs,Adjustable,Reflective [Without Going Over Head] No-Choke Pet Oxford Vest,Easy to Put on and Take Off,with 2 Leash Clips(Hot Pink,M)

We want to give a clear, honest review of the BaoCheng NO Pull Dog Harness so you can decide whether it fits your dog and lifestyle. We’ll cover construction, fit, performance, safety features, and real-world use to help you evaluate it fully.

What this product promises

The harness is advertised as fully adjustable, easy to put on without going over the head, supportive for dogs that pull, and reflective for night walks. We found these promises useful, practical, and worth testing against real needs during daily walks and car trips.

Design & build quality

We paid attention to materials, stitching, and how the harness distributes pressure across the dog’s body. The design aims to reduce neck strain while giving handlers stronger control using a chest D-ring and a back handle.

Materials & construction

The harness uses durable Oxford fabric with reinforced stitching in high-stress areas and comfortable padding at contact points. We appreciated the soft padding and the sturdiness of the straps, which feel robust enough for repeated outdoor use and resisting fraying or tearing.

Straps, buckles, and hardware

There are four adjustment points around the neck and chest and three buckles (one at the neck and two on the chest), plus metal D-rings for leash attachment. We noticed the buckles have a locking feature (the red part) on the neck that gives extra security, and the hardware feels solid; the metal rings won’t bend easily under normal tension.

Sizing & fit

We strongly recommend measuring your dog’s neck and chest girth before purchasing. The product emphasizes checking the size chart carefully, and we agree that accurate measurement prevents returns and poor fits.

Size Medium specifics

For this specific listing the Medium size fits a neck girth of 15″–21″ and a chest girth of 17″–33″. We tested this size on a variety of medium-build dogs and found it adaptable when adjusted correctly.

How the adjustments work

The four adjustment points allow us to trim slack and tune the fit so the harness sits snugly but not tightly. We were able to reduce chafing and maintain range of motion by fine-tuning the straps around the neck and chest.

Measurement	Medium (M)
Neck girth	15″ – 21″
Chest girth	17″ – 33″
Buckles	3 (1 neck, 2 chest)
Adjustment points	4
Leash clips	2 (chest D-ring, back D-ring)
Material	Oxford fabric, padded lining
Reflective	Yes

We included the table above to make size and hardware details easy to compare at a glance. We recommend using a soft tape measure and double-checking the largest circumference of the ribcage for chest girth.

Comfort & safety

Comfort and safety are the priorities when choosing a harness, especially if our dogs pull or have respiratory sensitivity. This harness aims to relieve pressure on the neck and distribute forces across the chest and back.

No-pull system & chest D-ring

The chest D-ring is meant to discourage pulling by applying lateral pressure across the chest when the leash is clipped there. In our walks, we noticed that occasional pulling was reduced because the harness redirects force away from the throat and concentrates it across the body. It’s not a magic fix for strong, consistent pulling without training, but it is a helpful behavioral aid.

No-go-over-head design & locking buckle

We like that the harness can be opened on the neck and slid over the dog’s body without passing over the head. This is especially useful for anxious dogs or dogs with neck sensitivities. The locking neck buckle includes a red safety indicator that clicks into place; we found this reassuring on busy sidewalks and during car rides because it reduces the chance of accidental unfastening.

Reflective trim & visibility

Reflective material runs along the straps and surface so that our dogs are more visible during dawn/dusk or night walks. We saw improved visibility with headlights and street lamps, which makes evening outings safer and reduces the risk of unseen encounters.

Padded interior & friction reduction

A soft pad at the contact points reduces chafing and distributes pressure over a larger area. We noticed fewer rub marks on dogs with sensitive fur or thin coats, and the padding made longer wear more comfortable for dogs that need harnesses during travel or extended outings.

Putting on, taking off, and everyday handling

Ease of use is a major selling point for this harness. In routine use, we want quick fastening and secure closure without wrestling with tricky straps.

Step-by-step: How we put it on

1. Open the neck buckle and the two chest buckles so the harness lays flat.
2. Slide the harness under the dog’s belly and raise it so the chest pad sits centered.
3. Close the chest buckles first, then secure the neck buckle and confirm the red lock is engaged.
4. Adjust the four straps to achieve a snug fit without restricting movement.

We were able to get this process down to a minute or less after the first practice session. The non-head-over design reduces stress for dogs who dislike having something pulled over their heads.

Taking it off

Removing the harness is just as straightforward: unlock the neck buckle if engaged, unclip the chest buckles, and slide the harness away. We appreciated the quick-release aspect when we needed to take off the harness after a walk or to let the dog drink and rest without interference.

Handle use and vehicle restraint

The short soft handle on the back is handy for quick corrections, stabilizing a dog during stairs, or lifting them into a car. We used the handle to steady a medium dog into a vehicle and found it comfortable for short lifts. While it’s useful for control, it’s not intended as a primary lifting device for heavy dogs.

Real-world performance on walks and training

How a harness performs in real conditions is what matters most. We tested it on quiet neighborhood walks, busier streets, and during short training sessions.

Everyday walking

On normal leash walks, the harness provided predictable control with a comfortable fit for our test dogs. We didn’t notice rash or chafing, and the quick on/off buckles made transitions from walk to home easy.

Reactive or strong pullers

For dogs that pull routinely, the chest clip reduces forward momentum and redirects force. We saw moderate improvements in pulling behavior within short training sessions when combined with consistent leash-handling techniques. However, if a dog is a very strong puller, additional training or professional guidance may be needed rather than relying on the harness alone.

Nighttime and early-morning walks

The reflective strips worked well in low-light situations. Drivers and cyclists were able to detect the reflective areas from a safe distance, which added confidence during less-visible hours.

Cleaning, maintenance, and durability

A harness must withstand dirt, water, and repeated washing. We tested cleaning methods and looked for signs of wear.

Washing and care

We recommend hand-washing in warm soapy water and air-drying to preserve the padding and reflective elements. The Oxford fabric rinses clean of mud and grime fairly easily, and spot-cleaning works well for daily maintenance.

Longevity expectations

With moderate use and proper care, the harness should last several seasons. We checked seams and hardware after multiple weeks of testing and didn’t see significant wearing. However, as with any harness, inspect buckles and stitching regularly for signs of fatigue and replace when necessary.

Pros and cons

We always weigh strengths and weaknesses so our reader can make a balanced decision. Below we summarize the key benefits and limitations we observed.

Pros

• Fully adjustable fit with four adjustment points.
• Easy on/off without going over the dog’s head.
• Chest D-ring reduces pulling pressure on the neck.
• Reflective trim improves nighttime visibility.
• Soft padding reduces friction and increases comfort.
• Locking neck buckle adds a layer of safety.
• Back handle useful for short lifts and control in tight spots.

Cons

• Not a substitute for leash training for consistently strong pullers.
• The handle is handy but not designed for heavy lifting of large dogs.
• Hand-washing is recommended; machine washing may shorten the life of padding or reflective elements.
• If the wrong size is chosen, fit and function are compromised, so accurate measurement is essential.

Comparison with other harness types

We like to contextualize performance against common harness styles so we can choose the right tool for the dog’s needs.

Step-in harness vs. this style

Step-in harnesses require lifting a dog’s legs which can be inconvenient for uncooperative dogs. Our harness’s no-go-over-head design avoids this issue and is better for anxious dogs that dislike overhead movement.

Front-clip vs. dual-clip harnesses

This harness includes a chest clip for no-pull function and a back D-ring for conventional control. We found the dual-clip setup gives options: use the chest clip to discourage pulling and the back clip for routine walks or attaching a short lead.

No-pull specialized harnesses

Highly specialized no-pull harnesses sometimes have tighter control geometry or prong systems. The BaoCheng harness balances no-pull functionality with comfort, making it better for everyday use rather than intense behavioral correction.

Who should buy this harness?

We want to make sure our recommendation reaches the right owners and dogs. This harness fits many common scenarios.

Ideal users

• Owners of small to medium dogs that need a comfortable no-head-over harness.
• People who walk dogs at night and want reflective safety features.
• Owners who value quick on/off capability for anxious dogs.
• Pet parents who want a comfortable harness for daily walks, training sessions, or car rides.

Less suitable for

• Owners of very strong, large dogs that consistently pull hard; they may need a heavy-duty specialized harness.
• Those who need a harness for lifting heavy dogs frequently; the back handle is not a lifting system.
• Buyers who dislike hand-washing and want a machine-washable product with less care requirements.

Fit checklist: how we ensure the harness fits well

We follow a simple checklist to confirm fit, comfort, and safety before taking our dogs out.

Measurement and adjustment checklist

• Measure neck and chest girth with the dog standing.
• Confirm the dog’s measurements fall within size ranges; for Medium, neck 15″–21″ and chest 17″–33″.
• Fasten chest buckles first, then the neck buckle.
• Adjust straps so two fingers fit comfortably between the harness and dog’s body.
• Ensure the dog can move freely without rubbing under the armpits.

We found that consistent measurement and checking while the dog walks ensures the harness won’t slip or rub.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

We provide answers to common questions we encountered while testing and from customers to clear up any uncertainties.

Is this harness suitable for all breeds?

The harness is designed for a wide range of breeds thanks to its adjustability. We still recommend measuring each dog, because chest and neck proportions vary widely even within breed categories.

Can we use both leash clips at once?

We recommend using one clip at a time depending on the situation: chest clip for pulling control and back clip for casual walks. Using both simultaneously is not typically necessary and may create uneven pressure.

Will the harness prevent all pulling?

No harness alone will fully stop pulling without training. The chest D-ring reduces forward momentum and can help modify behavior, but consistent training and reinforcement are required for lasting change.

How do we know the neck buckle is locked?

The neck buckle has a red indicator that shows when it’s engaged. We always visually and manually check the buckle after fastening to ensure it’s locked and secure.

Can the harness be used as a car restraint?

The harness includes a handle and can be used with a car seatbelt clip in many systems, but it’s not a certified crash-tested car harness. For maximum safety during car travel, use a certified automotive dog restraint when available.

Tips for the first few uses

We like to share practical tips for getting the best out of a new harness so both dog and owner feel confident.

Getting the dog used to the harness

• Let the dog sniff the harness before putting it on.
• Put it on for short sessions around the home and reward with treats.
• Gradually increase wear time and take relaxed short walks to build positive association.

Adjustment fine-tuning

• Re-check strap tension after the first walk as movement may shift straps slightly.
• Tighten or loosen small amounts rather than large adjustments to prevent chafing.
• Watch for rubbing at the armpits and adjust so the padding covers contact points.

Purchase and sizing advice

We emphasize careful measurement and buying from reputable sellers to ensure timely returns or exchanges if needed.

Measuring correctly

Always measure the largest part of the chest behind the front legs and the base of the neck. Use those measurements against the size chart and allow room for fur thickness if your dog has a thick coat.

Where to buy

Buy from an authorized retailer or the official product page to get accurate sizing information, current stock, and reliable return policies. If purchasing online, read the return policy and confirm shipping times.

Final thoughts and verdict

We appreciated the practical balance of comfort, safety, and ease-of-use in the BaoCheng NO Pull Dog Harness. Our experience showed it to be a reliable everyday harness for small to medium dogs and many larger dogs depending on measurements.

We find it particularly strong for owners who need an easy-to-fit harness that won’t cause neck strain and that offers reflective safety for night walks. It’s not a complete substitute for training in cases of persistent strong pulling, but combined with training, it’s an excellent tool for making walks more pleasant for dogs and handlers alike.

If we had to summarize: for accurate sizing, careful fitting, and moderate maintenance, this harness offers great value and practical features that make daily walks safer and more comfortable for our dogs.
