The Freedom Harness from 2Houndsdesign
the Wiggles Wags and Whiskers harness!
"The Ferrari of walking harnesses" Grisha Stewart, author of Behavior Adjustment Training
The terrific Freedom Harness from 2 Hounds Design (formerly known as the Wiggles, Wags and Whiskers Harness) works really well to gently stop your dog pulling while ensuring there is no pressure on throat or neck!
See how quickly this young puppy improved her walking and focus as soon as she started with the Freedom Harness!
Sturdily constructed, with Swiss velvet, and webbing seams on the outside to minimise chafing, and stainless steel D-rings for security.
Easy to put on as you don't need to lift your dog's legs.
It's also comfortable for dogs to run in, so no need to remove it on walks. They can even swim in it!
You can use either the front or the back attachment, or both at once with the special lead provided, for full control and ease of balancing your dog.
The great design with four points of adjustment ensures a snug fit which dogs cannot back out of.
The lead has a floating handle for comfort.
Fantastic for managing reactive dogs without adding stress.
Eco-conscious! The webbing is made from recycled plastic bottles,
And it's washable too.

The breeds suggested for each sizing are a guide only. Size depends on whether it's a dog or a bitch, a juvenile or mature dog, neutered or not, and there is plenty of individual variation! If you have any doubts about the right size for your dog, just contact me.
We have a wide range of colours in stock, usually including Purple, Raspberry, Teal, Red, Royal Blue, Turquoise, Kelly Green and Hot Pink - these look smashing! Vizslas look great in Teal or Kelly Green, for instance, while Rose Pink really suits Weimaraners. The brighter the colour harness, the friendlier your dog will appear - specially useful for those of us with reactive, Growly Dogs!
Don’t leave the harness on a puppy or known chewer unattended! The webbing is strong enough to pull a truck and does not fray, but dogs can chomp through bones, so slicing a harness can be quickly done. If you forget, and disaster strikes, there is an amazing Chew Warranty.
The double-ended lead is 39” when connected to both points, and 63” when connected to one only.
“The harness is an absolute triumph! I have to say I honestly didn't enjoy walking my pulling boxer, however it is now a pleasure not a chore. Thanks for bringing the harness to the UK. It's been a godsend." Nichola and Cooper the Boxer in Purple Medium, Merseyside
“The harnesses are amazing - now I can walk both of them no bother. They used to be all over the place. Now they walk beside me.” Neil, Bertie and Emmie, Lurchers

"Finally a harness that actually fits! We have spent a small fortune on harnesses for Izzy and this is the first one that works as it should. Gorgeous colours too." Jody and Izzy the Boxer in Medium, Hartlebury

“The Freedom Harness has been a life-changing event for me - I was being pulled over, my dog was nearly strangling himself. When we received our harness we could walk him normally.” Julie, XL Black, Cornwall
“Walking Guy on the Freedom Harness is a joy! He was walking next to me and my shoulder was firmly in its socket! With a bit of patience, he soon remembers what he is supposed to do and walking has been a lot calmer and less stressful.” Hannah and Guy, GSD, in Large Kelly Green
“Just a note to thank you for your excellent service. The harness is just what I needed to enjoy a more leisurely dog walk instead of being catapulted along the road!” Sheila and Dickens, Entlebucher Mountain Dog in Large Black
"The harness is brilliant." Lorna and Daisy, Great Dane puppy in Rose Pink Medium, Worcester
“Thank you! It arrived this morning so I was eager to try it out, and boy, what a difference! My dog's not a puller as such but he has never walked by my side which is why I got the harness, yet today he was by my side the whole time, he loved it!” Nikki White and Oakley, Jack Russell, in Turquoise Small, pictured left
“When we started classes with Beverley with our 3 year old rescue mini Dachshund we were told about the Wiggles Wags and Whiskers Dog Harness. My husband’s feelings were, ‘Oh here we go, the sales pitch’. I find being dragged up the road by a young dog somewhat exhausting so I decided to invest in this harness. Well I am so glad that I did, our walks have been transformed! I can control Chester so much better, and the strain both mentally and physically no longer exists. It’s not a sales pitch to make money, it really does benefit both dog and human. Even my husband is a convert!” Katina and Chester, Dachshund
“The best thing we ever got her. We'd tried a couple of other harnesses and didn't get on with them. Now my mother can walk her!” Becky and Roxy, Australian Shepherd

“Received harness this morning. Adjusted the straps and it fitted well. Out for a walk then to try it out. I thought it was great. She really didn't pull much at all even when she came across other people and dogs. It will do her for a very long time. Thanks for all your help - customer service was fantastic.” Linda and her Bedlington Terrier in Extra Small, Teal
"I am happy with the harness as the placement of the straps mean his legs seem unrestricted when he's free running." Anna Halcro-Johnston APBC, IMDT, and Widget, Black Lab in Red Large, Oxford, pictured right

“Have been using the harness for a month now and am pleased to report that it has significantly helped me control Max when out walking and restored my confidence and enjoyment in taking him out. Without it he would be confined to exercising in our fields as he was to strong for me to control even with a headcollar.” Jane with XL Royal Blue
“Using the special harness you supplied he is now walking ‘loose lead’ really well. Very seldom do we have to stop and wait for tension to be released.” with Wiggle Wags from Ollie and best wishes from his Housekeeper Mark
“My harness arrived today and I am thrilled. Angus has gone from pulling me along the lane to walking sensibly alongside. I wish I’d had one ages ago! Thank you so very much.” Emma and Angus

I don't know how the design can so alter the centre of gravity but it certainly works, I feel like stopping every dog walker I see and sharing the secret.” Dianne and Bertie, Toy Poodle in Extra Small Teal
“We had a quick go round the block last night and now have finger tip control, our 12 month lab responded straight away.” Sarah and Chester, Hereford

“It's the first harness I've bought (and I've gone through a few) that my dog doesn't shy away from!

“We went for a quick walk up the field with her new harness - Oh my word what a difference! She kept looking up at me as if to say 'See! I knew you could do it’.” Jules and Sally, Wheaten Terrier pup, in France
“The harness and lead far exceeded my expectations in helping to make walking with my very excitable Working Cocker an enjoyable experience. I have tried another brand of harness which was advertised as anti pull but with which I had absolutely zero success! I will certainly be recommending you not only for the great product but your excellent customer service too!” Lesley and her Working Cocker Spaniel in Teal Small
"Walking is now a pleasure with the harnesses." Elsie, Dogue de Bordeaux and Marnie, Bullmastiff puppy, both in Medium, Herefordshire
