Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Anybody use one of these since they introduced it? I'm just curious about the utility vs. the Webmaster. Considering it for our (hopefully) next fur butt or getting one for Bode (not that he needs more gear). We don't typically use the Webmaster for everyday casual walks, we use a Lupine step in. The Webmaster and Pack is usually reserved for "working" situations (hiking, etc...). Thinking about the Front Range to replace the Lupine for everyday usage. |

| Sara, Have you seen them in person? they look so tiny! I have also been thinking of getting them for rescue events to give people more petting area. Let me know if you want to order _________________ |

| Jenn, I did notice that they seem kind of awkward in the placement so concentrated up front. Don't worry, I didn't forget to order through you if we want to |

| I was thinking about getting the seatbelt function one for each dog! I think they could come in useful. |

| The surface area is VERY small. Looks kinda awkward on a Husky, in my opinion.
Very well made though. |

| In advertising and such it definitely seems to be featured more on small dogs. |

| Sara, I was looking at it last night, at backcountry dot com, they have pics of it on dogs, one was a large lab another a gsd. It actually looked good on the bigger dogs and not so good on the smaller ones. Bummer, yesterday they had a 20% off deal. Take a look though, so you have a good visual on bigger dogs. |

| I just looked at this harness - and it has the same chest configuration that I don't like about Ami's kurgo we got for the car. It just seems to be too wide and the outer edges rub on the front of his shoulders (whatever that part is in a dog )a bit when he walks. |

| Review and picture of it on a husky/gsd/basenji mix (according to her about page).

| The thing I like best about the kurgo harness (which is primarily used to keep him contained while traveling, a crate in the back seat just doesn't cut it for a 24" 63 pound dog ) is the buckles - "nesting climber's buckles" whatever that means. What it means for me though is it goes over his head, and I buckle both sides so no step in. With Ami's thick wooly coat, I'm also looking for a harness that is basically straps, not "blanket-like" for cooling purposes. I like the look of the alpine outitters urban trail for my purposes but I want buckles on both side, not one and I want a handle on the top. I want to make one but time being what it is, maybe I can get Alpine outfiters to add an extra buckle there. Who knows, not a top priority for me at the moment. And I want it pale yellow-green to complement his red coat |

https://gretchensite.wordpress.com/2014/08/20/the-ruffwear-front-range-harness/ Ashleigh - that's EXACTLY the problem I have with Ami's kurgo - so I don't really walk with it, just use it for a sort of a seat belt in the car. Also, despite how much I like the convenience of these buckles, on large dogs, they did not hold up well in crash testing |

| I have one, I love it. Yes they are small compared to many recreation style harnesses but the fit for Orion is phenomenal. He is very comfy in it, it's easy to put on and take off and adjusts brilliantly. It's very strong and I find it perfect for events where we are in public or out doing a trail walk where I prefer him off a collar. Being quite small and relatively thin it is very flexible so moves well with him and sits far enough back behind the armpits that there is no hint of chafing etc. I've already ordered another for my stash of must haves for a 2nd pup planned this year |
