In this guide
The Easy Walk is PetSafe's front-clip no-pull harness: the leash attaches at the chest, and a martingale loop tightens and puts gradual pressure on the shoulders when the dog pulls. It costs $22.99 in eight sizes, covering chest girths from 12 to 49 inches, with four adjustment points.
It does less than a padded everyday harness. The chest is the only leash point, there is no handle, and the straps are plain webbing with no padding listed. The case for it is the price and the single job: making a pulling dog easier to steer while the training happens.
Our verdict
At $22.99 the Easy Walk is a single-purpose no-pull harness with one chest leash point; the $59.99 Ruffwear Front Range adds padding and a back ring. Choose by whether the dog needs those two things.
- A good fit for
- Owners of a dog that pulls on the leash who want a front-clip training harness without spending $60.
- We would skip it if
- Dogs that need padding, a back leash ring, a lifting handle, or a harness rated for car restraint.
Reasons to consider it
- Front chest attachment with a martingale loop for pullers.
- Four adjustment points and eight sizes from Petite to Extra Large.
- $22.99 with a one-year limited warranty and 45-day returns on PetSafe.com orders.
The compromises
- No back leash ring, no handle and no padding listed.
- The front clip is a steering aid, not a substitute for training.
- Damage caused by any animal is outside the warranty; chewed nylon gets a one-time courtesy replacement for a nominal fee.
What we have not verified: PetSafe lists no strap width, webbing material or weight, so how the straps sit on a short-coated dog, and whether the shoulder pressure chafes a strong puller over long walks, is undocumented.

Easy Walk No-Pull Dog Harness
$22.99 buys a front chest attachment, a martingale loop and four adjustment points in eight sizes, with a one-year limited warranty and 45-day returns on PetSafe.com orders.
Before you buy: The chest is the only leash point, with no handle and no padding listed; it is a walking aid, not a car restraint or a long-day harness.
Price checked November 2, 2026. Retailer prices can change.What $22.99 buys
The harness is a chest strap, a belly strap and a martingale loop at the front. The leash clips to the chest, not the back or the neck; PetSafe says the harness rests across the chest instead of the throat. Four adjustment points and eight sizes are the fit system, from Petite (12–17 inch chest girth, under 10 lb) to Extra Large (32–49 inches, 90 lb and up).
PetSafe lists quick-snap shoulder and belly straps for easy fitting, and the belly strap is a different colour so the orientation is obvious. The coverage is deliberately small: less fabric than many other harnesses, which PetSafe sells as lightweight and breathable.
How the no-pull loop works
The martingale loop at the front tightens when the leash goes taut and puts gradual pressure on the shoulders, while the front attachment gives the handler a steering point. It is a training aid: it interrupts a pull long enough to redirect the dog, and it works best when the handler rewards the loose-leash moment.
The harness does not replace training. A dog that lunges at every cyclist will still lunge; it makes the handler's correction more effective, not the dog's training unnecessary. Keeping the pressure off the throat is the main reason to choose it over a collar for a puller.
Fit, padding and the trade-offs
The Easy Walk has no padding listed and no back ring; the Ruffwear has both. For a dog that walks calmly most of the time, the trade is reasonable at $22.99; for a dog that wears a harness all day or needs a handle to lift it into a car, it is the wrong shape. The size ranges overlap, and PetSafe's chart says to measure chest girth and size up between two sizes, since the weight bands are only approximate.
The front clip also changes how the leash hangs: it sits lower than a back ring. If the first size is wrong, PetSafe's listing points buyers to its Customer Care for another size or a replacement.
Returns, warranty and shipping
On PetSafe.com orders, returns run 45 days for a refund of the purchase price, but shipping charges are not refunded and the harness has to come back in original, re-sellable condition and packaging. Bought from another retailer, that retailer's return policy applies instead.
Past the return period, PetSafe Brands adds a one-year limited warranty covering bad materials or poor workmanship, for buyers from authorized resellers. It excludes damage caused by any animal, but nylon products can be replaced once as a courtesy for a nominal chew fee. Free US shipping starts at $49, so a single $22.99 harness usually pays shipping unless a promotion is running.
Against the $59.99 Ruffwear
The Ruffwear Front Range is the other obvious choice at $59.99. It has a back aluminum V-ring for ordinary walks, a front webbing loop for pullers, five sizes covering 13–42 inches of chest girth, padding and a recycled ripstop shell. Its defect guarantee pays as an e-gift card in the US, not cash. On 2026-11-02 Ruffwear's own store showed every color and every size out of stock, marked Coming Soon, with the price still $59.99.
The Easy Walk is $37 cheaper and more single-minded: front clip, martingale loop, minimal fabric. The Ruffwear is the better everyday harness if the dog also needs a back ring, padding or a long-day fit. Buy the Easy Walk for the pulling problem and the budget; buy the Ruffwear for the whole walk.
