First to Harness my Houdini Girl
I have tried many harnesses in my quest to keep my energetic shar pei rescue safely secure. This is the only harness I have found that I can put on her and not worry about her wiggling out when she gets on the trail of something while we are running in the woods. She had previously gotten out of every harness I tried until I found Ruff wear's Web Master. It is well worth the investment. Be sure to measure your dog because the Ruff wear's harness as well as the coat I bought seem to run large. My girl weigh 45# and the small harness is a better fit for her than the medium size. Follow the directions for measuring to be sure you have the best fit.
Web master dog harmess
Your or my Web Master Dog Harness saved me from not walking my dog. I was using a choker chain and leash, and it seemed so cruel since he huffed and gasped for air THE WHOLE WALK! Now we have a good time. I can handle him so much better. It's awesome and really rocks! I also purchased your leash, IT rocks too!
great for running
Makes running with my dog a better and more comfortable experience for the both of us!

Web Master Harness is GREAT!
I have a golden retriever that is an amputee on one of the back legs. Arthritis is settling in on the one remaining back leg now. I was breaking my back helping her around, I would put a towel under her belly and use it to lift her. The web master harness has a sturdy handle on the back, and the straps are cushioned and comfortable for her. This was a life saver!! 5 stars!
Buying another one today!
We are avid walk/hike/campers and wanted something comfortable for our Great Dane to wear instead of a leash and collar set-up. Saw this harness in a little store, decided to try it out - it's been the best thing we've bought for him! He stands tall enough that we just hang on to the "handle" and he walks with comfort and ease! We are purchasing another one today for our 5 month old Dane. I would totally recommend this product to anyone!
A Great Harness!
I got this harness to help lift my lab with a bad leg in and out of the truck. Works great! It is comfortable for him to walk in when he is on leash. Also, the handle on the back helps keep him in line at the vet's office. I ordered a second one for the second lab. The red color also serves as a safety vest.
Great Find!
We have an older Corgi, overweight as well, and we are older owners who are have become unable to lift the Corgi into the vehicle to go to the parks. The webmaster harness works wonderfully in lifting without injuring our beloved companion. Also ordered one for our Husky who often aids
me in pulling my wheelchair up challenging inclines on trail. The
webharnesses are a Godsend.
This product gave our dog new life!
Our Shepard-mix, Yoda, is the kind of dog with so much love for playing he wouldn't stop, you would have to stop him. Our family owns a twenty acre nursery, and he became a favorite with our customers and their children especially. Unfortunately, the years caught up to his body, but not his mind or desire, and his hind legs were suffering. We used to have to pick him up any sized flight of stairs, and you could see the pain and frustration taking a toll on his spirit. After only a few weeks, Yoda became accustomed to the "suitcase" as we call it, Now, knowing he can navigate stairs without pain, he is more energetic than he has been in more than two years. Sometimes, he even climbs and descends on his own! We never dreamed of such an incredible benefit! Thank You!
Very good product
My 77lb. lab needs assistance walking, especially down stairs. This product has help tremendously, and now I don't feel like I am going to fall with her when I used the towel trick. Solid stitiching, easy on/off. Highly recommended.
Great for large, deep chested breeds
I have two German Shepherd Dogs - both wearing this harness. We do extensive hiking and this has been a blessing! No other lightweight harness is as adjustable or fits them as well. The handle on the back and 2 connection points for a lead come in handy all the time! I have also used this for tracking and my dogs are far more comfortable in it. I think all dogs should have one!
Best harness you can find!!
We have a 95 pound lab and this product is great when we use it to go sailing. Since there is no latter for him to get up on when he goes swimming we can now easily pick him up with the harness and back on to the boat with ease. Highly recommended.
Great help for our 14 year old Sheltie
"Prince" was having considerable difficulty climbing just two steps from the ground to our patio and one step into the house. We honestly believe the harness has given him support since we do not have to use the strap to life him up. He even gets up from a lying position better. We leave the harness on and just as another purchaser wrote, he doesn't even seem to know it's there.
Dignified assistance for older dog.
Like an earlier reviewer, I too have an 11-year-old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog with a degenerative back problem. I've tried several adaptive devices to help me help him move around, but they were awkward, uncomfortable and inconvenient. This lets me help him with dignity. I chose black so it would blend in with his primary color, and he wears it almost all the time. It's far superior to any other slings and harness contraptions we've tried.
Excellent product...worth every penny of the cost
We have an 11 year old Greater Swiss Mountain dog with severe arthritis. This harness enables us to help her into a standing position without placing undo strain on her body or our backs.
She doesn't even seem to know she's wearing it, so we leave it on her all the time. We couldn't recommend a product more highly.
Awesome for old dogs
We bought this for our 14 year old lab to go on a float trip with us. We wanted to be able to just lift her in and out of the boat, and be able to grab and contain her. It was wonderful, no jumping and jerking. She may have been humiliated, but at least her spine was fine the whole trip. Chiropractic visit afterwards, she was better off than the younger dog! Highly recommended.
This purchase was a life-saver!
Our Irish Setter, Bailey suffered a stroke and it was very difficult for my me and my wife to move him. The vest allowed my wife to get Bailey in and out of the house when I wasn't home to lift him. The vest was also very helpful during his hydrotherapy. We received prompt service and a good value.
Only escape proof harness I've seen
My doberman cross can wriggle out of anything - Until this harness. Fast & easy to put on, Good control with this over achiever. 3 years of use and ordering another for appearances (still functional, but will be nice to have a clean harness for "dress-up")
handles great
I use this for my hearing dog and it was easy to handle her. It is adjustable, and easy to manage.
Fantastic
I have an Australian sheppard that I can't seem to wear out. The only time I've seen him tired is when I harnessed him up using the Web Master and had him pull my friend 5 miles on a snowboard. My dog loves it (believe it or not) and so do I!
Great harness & great for any dog needing a comfortable harness!
I purchased two harnesses for my two samoyeds, Cleatus and Alaska. The dogs really like the way the harness fits them. Very well made and comfortable for any dog. I would recommend these harnesses to anyone who is looking for a harness for their dog. I have had other brands of harnesses that the dogs could get out of! Not these harnesses! Dogs are secure and will not get out if properly fitted for them. A great buy and value and very easy to use! Will last for years! Woof Woof!
excellent idea
we are pet accessory distributors in new york.
do you have a pricing list for distributors?
Support Dog
I bought the Web Master Harness for my Labrador who is a service dog. This harness is wonderfull, its adjustability is great for my lab. I have never found a harness that fit as well as this one. Works great as a working harness/identification cape.
Great harness for Bloodhounds.
Just received my harness and had to try it out on my bloodhound I
was surprised and thank God for it, she can slip a collar real
guick and begone. I have tried other harnesses and when she pulls
to the side the ring goes to her elbow its just a waste of good money. I am very happy with yours and my dog is too, now
we can get out and go!!!!!
RuffWaer Master Dog Haness
I was desperate for a dog harness that would keep my golden lab mix on his run. I found this web site and was truly pleased with my purchase. I will be replacing it with the next size smaller because he was able to get out of this one only once and that is because I did not have it tight enough. We have tried all kinds of harnesses and have
found this one the RuffWear Master Dog Harness to be the best.
I am so glad that I was able to find your
product. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to keep the dog on the run. Friends of ours came to watch him for the weekend and was amazed by how easy he was to handle especially with the handle attached at the top of the harness. I will be purchasing another one in the near future.
Great for us the walkers and even better for the dogs
We have two Vizslas and they are high strung. The Ruff Wear harness makes it so easy to take them for walks and to let them go on our wilderness property.
I just wish a Beacon flashing safety light came with each one.
It would make it so much easer to see our dogs a night.
Great For My Bloodhound!
I am so happy with this harness it is strong enough for my 90 lb bloodhound and easy to put on. This harness is giving us a chance to go on more walks and rides in the car. I feel secure in that she will not slip out and run away. My hound is a family pet and has typically not liked to go to many spots besides outside, the food bowl, a quick stretch or four and then back to her favorite spot, the couch. This harness is great and gets us moving again. Highly recommended!
Excellent Product
I bought one 2 years ago for my German Shorthair Pointer. I loved it. When I adopted my English Springer Spaniel, I ordered one for him too. The new harness is a little different than the one I bought a couple years ago. Still very good construction, very easy to get on a dog that doesn't stand still for a minute, and get the leash hooked. This product is great, as long as I have a dog, they will have a Web Master Harness. Just wish I could have gotten a blue one!
Great Harness
We are useing the harness for our SAR Bloodhound and it is working well. The built in handle helps with loading and unloading in to tall vehicles. The harness is light weight and doesn't limit movement. A+
Support after sales is awesome
Well Color me surprised! In this day and age of fast paced living, one small person does not really expect that her feedback is noticed -among thousands of others! MY slight dissatisfaction with part of the product got swift response from the company!
I thank you very much for your offer to refund my money for the harnesess even though they are used and modified -, and I would send them back except for the MOST part - I really like the design - and I REALLY need them right now while we are on the boat - I have made adjustments to fit - thank dog for a sewing machine LOL, So really, the thing I would be glad to see addressed some day is those few changes I suggested for BIG dogs, over 150 pound size dogs- with the same style harness - they are nicely seen through woods, even tho I cant see the dogs themselves - we have become appreciative of that- seeing as its bear country and BEAR SEASON -
Thank you for your very gracious offer - it means everything that you care that even ONE person is unsatisfied - I will continue to purchase and recommend your site and products gladly to others -
Keeping these harnesses now, has more meaning than it did before when ordering from a faceless machine - This a second feedback about the same product I have made, but I think its important for anyone who checks your site , that they know you guys are "out there Listening"....
Sincerely, and thanks again
Jeanne
Highly recommend
We purchased a harness from Petco (Aspen brand) for our Alaskan Malamute puppy (16 weeks, 45 lbs), and it lasted all of two weeks. The clips are plastic and they simply snapped - quite dangerous.
We did some research and purchased this one after finding out it was used for rescue work and to lift dogs out of helicopters. I highly recommend this item. It is nicely padded, very durable and I'm not sure what material the clasps are made of but they are STRONG! There is also a handle on the top of the harness which enables you to easily lift the dog up and over an obstacle.
lightweight
my dog had a front leg amputation and i was looking for something lightweight and not restrictive- this works fine except that it shifts easily-possibly because she only has one front leg. she is a short hair dog too and so to accommodate that problem i bought some nice textured fabric that i put underneath the harness - kind of like a saddle blanket and then it's fine. i like how easy and how much you can adjust it.
Good for small breeds and daily walkers only
The harness does not provide good structure to the chest and ribs and as such can allow pressure points from lifting. There is no D-Ring for emergency lifts or stout leads. While this company makes an excellent pack, the harness is far from "rough ware"
