I just bought the Ride 'n Walk Car & Walking Harness for my Australian Shepherd. I was pretty excited about getting it, as Barley is 5 years old and was rescued from a shelter just a few months ago.
She doesn't sit still in the car, anxiously pacing and jumping from seat to seat while we're driving. So I thought the Car Harness would be the perfect solution.
Sadly it isn't. Yes it restrains her. Does it keep her safe? No.
The first time we used it she managed to twist her legs and body so much that her front leg got caught in the car seat strap. Then when we rounded a corner she lost her balance. If my husband had not stopped the car quickly, she might have broken her leg.
I haven't figured out if we are harnessing her incorrectly or if it simply can't cope with such an active dog as Barley!
