I absolutely love this harness. I have tried many different harnesses for my 2 year old, 12 lb Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie mix) and they were all either too big or too small, not to mention that they all applied pressure on her neck and made her choke while she pulled on the leash. One harness I tried did relieve some pressure on the throat but took a masters degree in physics and contourtionism to get on my dog. This Gooby Harness is easy to put on...just slip over neck, right foot into harness, pull strap under and buckle. After the first few times you're a pro.
When I first opened the package I thought, "No way, this is too big to fit her!" But if fit her perfectly. The neck was a lot bigger than other harnesses I had but when I put it on her I realized that this harness sits much farther down on the neck (which is great for alleviating pressure on the dog's throat) and it actually fit her very well.
I am very impressed with the quality of the straps, they are as soft as suede. The hardware is all top quality black chrome, except the buckle which is plastic (this is not a negative...it functions fine and weighs less than a metal buckle would). And finally the mesh really allows this to breath as there is no "backing" sewed into the mesh like some other brands.
I used sizing info I found from some website that sold this same harness:
EXTRA SMALL measures 11" to 12" Chest, 8" Neck, and for dogs that weigh 3 to 5 lbs
SMALL measures 13" to 14" Chest, 9" Neck, and for dogs that weigh 5 to 7 lbs
MEDIUM measures 15" to17" Chest, 11" Neck, and for dogs that weigh 7 to 12 lbs
LARGE measures 20" to 22" Chest, 12" Neck, and for dogs that weigh 12 to 16 lbs
EXTRA LARGE measures 21" to 23" Chest, 13" Neck, and for dogs that weigh 16 to 20 lbs
The most important measurement is the chest, and it is adjustable on the harness.
The neck can be an inch big or so and it should still fit...it will just fit lower on dog's neck.
My dog is 12 lbs, 16" chest, 10" neck and I got a medium.
It is a pleasure to walk her with this new harness. The leash now attaches in the middle of her back and gives me more control over her, without excessive choking that I got from other harnesses. The most important feature of this harness is where the D ring is sewn in (which connects to your leash). The D ring is BEHIND the two chest straps which allows any pressure from pulling to be distributed to the two chest straps and the one neck strap. That simple little thing is what creates less pressure on the dogs throat, and diverts most of it to the chest. I also like that is doesn't interfere with her existing collar and tags since it sits below them on her neck. I only use this when walking her, although it seems comfortable enough for her to wear for longer periods.
I only paid $19.97 shipped for this and it is worth every penny.
This not for big dogs though ...read the sizing info. The XLarge is only for a 20lb dog max.

I bought my harness about 4 years ago and it is still in very good condition!! I am finally going to replace it with the same exact one!
My dog loves her harness and it fits her perfectly as well! I even threw it in the washer one time on gentle cycle and it turned out just fine!!
Worth every single penny!
