Why we picked it
The Freedom works on two fronts. The front ring steers the dog back toward you, and the back loop is a martingale that closes a little under pull, which most dogs read as a cue to ease off. The included leash has two clips so you can connect front and back at the same time, giving you steering and brakes in one hand.
We picked it for medium and large dogs that pull with their whole body. The chest strap is lined with a soft material, per the maker, so the part that takes the pressure is not raw nylon. It is also made in the USA, which the brand states on the listing.
The honest part: fitting takes patience. The front ring should sit high on the sternum, and if the harness sags it will chafe behind the legs. Spend the first walk adjusting, not training.
Good for
- Medium and large dogs that pull with force
- Owners who want front and back control on one leash
- Dogs that do better with a gentle tightening cue than a hard stop
Skip it if
- You want a simple one-ring harness
- Your dog is tiny; the double-clip leash can be a lot of hardware for a small frame
