Finding a dog harness, collar, and leash set that offers comfort, versatility, and better control on walks without sacrificing style can be a challenge. 

We tested the new PetSafe Easy Walk Comfort No-Pull Harness, Nylon Comfort Collar, and 4-Foot Bungee Leash with our three-year-old, 100-pound Bernese Mountain Dog, Riggie, and found it to be an adaptable, highly functional set that combines the best features of several products into one cohesive system.

If you are looking for a dog harness, collar, and leash set that fits well, adapts as your dog grows and matures, helps reduce pulling, and provides a coordinated walking setup, this review will help you decide whether the PetSafe Easy Walk Comfort line is the right choice for you and your dog.

Why I Tested the PetSafe Easy Walk Comfort No-Pull Harness

Riggie joins us for nearly every part of daily life. That includes 2–3 walks a day, obedience training, carting practice, breed club events, holiday parades, and frequent outings to dog-friendly places like restaurants, farmers’ markets, and our local downtown area. Finding the right walking gear for a large breed dog in these varied environments is not easy.

Because we are so active, I am constantly evaluating gear that is comfortable, durable, adaptable, and safe. Riggie is generally polite on leash in familiar environments, but he is still a powerful working breed with an occasional wild streak. In new or high-stimulation situations, excitement can take over quickly, so I need equipment that offers reliable control without compromising comfort or movement.

I have always preferred harnesses over collars for the greater security and comfort they provide. Over the years, we have used and owned a wide range of harnesses, including Top Paw, Kong, Kurgo, Hurtta, Julius-K9, and others. Each has strengths, but none combines all the features I want into a single coordinated system. 

On paper, the PetSafe Easy Walk Comfort Harness, Collar, and Bungee Leash looked like a complete walking system designed for dogs of different sizes, training levels, and activity needs. I wanted to see if it could truly perform that way in real-world use with a large, active, and sometimes reactive dog like Riggie.

What I Look for in a Dog Harness

After testing countless harnesses over the years, I consider a few key factors before recommending any, especially for a large, powerful breed like a Bernese Mountain Dog.

Safety and Strength: Bernese Mountain Dogs were originally bred as draft dogs capable of pulling carts weighing up to 10 times their own body weight. While most family pets (besides Riggie) are not pulling carts down the street every day, that natural strength and instinct are still there. Any harness I use needs to be constructed well enough to withstand the force of a 100-pound dog making a sudden lunge or pulling unexpectedly.

Comfort: A harness should distribute pressure across the chest and body without restricting movement or causing rubbing, chafing, or discomfort.

Adjustability: Dogs come in a wide range of shapes and proportions. Multiple adjustment points help create a secure, customized fit and allow the harness to adapt as a dog matures or changes condition.

Control: I like having options. Depending on the circumstances, I may want a front attachment point for training to reduce pulling or a back attachment point for relaxed everyday walks. I also prefer a harness with a top handle for sudden situations when I need to quickly grab my dog.

Ease of Use: If a harness is difficult to put on, adjust, or use consistently, it is unlikely to become part of my everyday routine. 

Durability: Walking gear should hold up to daily use, outdoor adventures, training classes, and everything in between. Strong materials and quality construction are essential for active dogs.

The best harnesses balance all of these factors while remaining comfortable enough that your dog actually enjoys wearing them. That is the standard I used when evaluating the PetSafe Easy Walk Comfort No-Pull Harness.

First Impressions Out of the Box

After using so many dog harnesses, I can tell fairly quickly whether a product was designed with real-world use in mind. My first impression of this harness was that it clearly had several features that are found across multiple products I currently own. 

The harness includes both a front martingale loop on the chest strap and a traditional back attachment point, so it can be used as either a no-pull training harness or a standard walking harness depending on the situation. A martingale loop is a specialized design featuring a small control loop with a metal leash-attachment bracket. When pressure is applied to the leash, the loop gently tightens the harness slightly around the dog’s chest, providing better control by redirecting the motion towards the handler.

It also has a top handle, a feature I often used on an existing harness when I was training Riggie to be a civilized dog. This is especially useful for managing a large-breed dog in busy or dangerous environments. We have several sidewalks around our neighborhood that are extremely close to the road. I grab the top handle to keep Riggie close to me when walking in these areas. 

Adjustability was another strong point. The harness offers five adjustment points, allowing for a more customized fit than many harnesses I have used. As the owner of a Bernese Mountain Dog with a deep chest, broad shoulders, and a thick coat, I know how difficult proper fit can be. 

How This Harness Fits a Large Dog

Finding a dog harness for large dogs can be challenging because large and giant breeds often have unique body proportions and deep barrel chests. A harness that fits one dog perfectly may not fit another, even if they weigh the same.

For reference, Riggie is a three-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog who weighs 100 pounds. He stands 25 inches at the withers, has a 22-inch neck, a 36-inch chest, and measures 29 inches from the base of his neck to the base of his tail. Based on PetSafe’s sizing chart, we selected a large, which is designed for dogs weighing 75-130 pounds.

The harness offers five adjustment points, including the chest plate, which many harnesses lack. This makes it easier to achieve a customized fit. We adjusted all five points to fit Riggie’s frame. 

Despite the number of adjustments, the process was quick and straightforward. The straps moved easily, the buckles felt secure, and I was able to make the changes while the harness was on him. In just a couple of minutes, we had the fit dialed in.

Once adjusted, the harness sat comfortably against his body without restricting shoulder movement or creating pressure points. The padded chest plate stayed securely in place, and the harness remained stable during walks without excessive shifting.

How Should a Dog Harness Fit?

Proper fit is one of the most important factors when choosing a dog harness. Even the best harness will not perform well if it is too loose, too tight, or positioned incorrectly.

A properly fitted harness should be snug enough to prevent your dog from backing out, while still allowing comfortable, unrestricted movement. As a general rule, you should be able to fit two fingers between the harness and your dog’s body.

When fitting a dog harness, look for these signs of a good fit:

If you are fitting a dog harness for the first time, take your dog on a short walk around the house or yard after making your adjustments. Watching how the harness moves while your dog walks, sits, and turns can help you identify small adjustments that improve both comfort and performance.

Testing the Harness in Real Life

Product features only tell part of the story. To see how the PetSafe Easy Walk Comfort No-Pull Harness performed in everyday situations, we used it for a week as part of our normal routine, including neighborhood walks, training sessions, and normal outings with Riggie.

Neighborhood Walks

One of the first things I observed was how little Riggie seemed to notice the new harness. Some dogs need time to adjust to new gear, but he walked exactly as he normally does from the very first outing. There was no hesitation, scratching, or awkward movement. 

The padded design appeared comfortable, and the harness stayed securely in place without restricting his movement. After a week of regular use, it proved to be a comfortable, easy-to-use everyday walking harness.

Testing the Front-Clip Martingale Loop

One of the unique features of the PetSafe Easy Walk Comfort Harness is the patent-pending front martingale loop design. When pressure is applied to the leash, the martingale loop tightens slightly and gently redirects the dog’s momentum back toward the handler, preventing them from continuing to pull forward.

During testing, there were a few times when Riggie became opinionated and wanted to head in a different direction. When he reached the end of the leash, the front attachment helped redirect his body back toward me, making it easier to continue walking together.

While no harness replaces training, I can see this feature being useful for dogs learning leash manners and loose-leash walking skills.

Using the Back-Clip for Every Day Walks

Although I tested both attachment points, I preferred the back clip for most of our walks.

Riggie generally walks well on leash, so I do not typically need the additional guidance of a front attachment point. The back clip gives him a little more freedom to explore while still maintaining control.

We are big fans of “sniffaris,” allowing Riggie to investigate scents and enjoy the mental enrichment benefits of sniffing. The back clip worked particularly well for these relaxed walks.

PetSafe Comfort 4-Foot Bungee Leash Review

The PetSafe Comfort 4-Foot Nylon Bungee Leash is a thoughtfully designed leash that combines several features I typically look for in an everyday walking leash.

One feature I immediately appreciated was the built-in traffic control handle near the dog’s end of the leash. This provides quick, close control when navigating crowded areas, crossing streets, or passing other dogs. We have many sidewalks in our neighborhood that are very close to the street, so having that extra level of control is essential.

The leash also includes a shock-absorbing bungee section designed to reduce the impact of sudden movements. While Riggie is past the crazy, lunging puppy stage of walking, the bungee feature helped soften occasional undesired changes in direction, making walks more comfortable for both of us.

Another small but practical detail is the accessory clip near the handle. I used it to attach a poop bag holder, which helped keep my hands-free during walks.

The leash is available in a 4-foot length, which works well for training sessions, busy environments, and situations where I want to keep Riggie close. Personally, I would love to see PetSafe offer a 5-foot or 6-foot version as well. For a large dog like Riggie, the additional length would provide a little more freedom to explore and enjoy sniffing opportunities while still maintaining control.

Overall, this is a well-constructed leash that combines several useful features into a single design, making it a practical option for everyday walks.

PetSafe Comfort Nylon Dog Collar Review

Of the three products in this walking set, the PetSafe Comfort Nylon Dog Collar is the most straightforward. While it does not have as many unique features as the harness or leash, it is a well-constructed, everyday collar that complements the rest of the collection.

Riggie has a 22-inch neck, so we selected a size large, which fits necks 20 –24 inches. Given how close he is to the upper limit and that he is an average-sized Bernese, I would like to see PetSafe offer this in an extra-large option for larger dogs.

The collar features durable nylon webbing on the outside with a softer padded material on the inside. This added cushioning helps improve comfort, particularly for dogs that wear a collar throughout the day rather than only during walks.

Another feature I appreciated was the reflective material woven into the design. For dogs that are walked early in the morning or after dark, increased visibility is always a welcome safety feature.

The collar felt sturdy and well-constructed during testing, and I liked that it coordinates with the matching harness and leash for a cohesive look.

That said, my personal preference for large breeds like Bernese Mountain Dogs is a martingale-style collar rather than a traditional flat-buckle collar. Martingale collars provide a little more security for dogs with thick coats and can help prevent dogs from backing out of their collar during walks. PetSafe offers martingale collars, and I would love to see them expand this particular product line to include a matching martingale option in the future.

Overall, the PetSafe Nylon Collar is a comfortable, durable everyday collar that pairs well with the Easy Walk Comfort Harness and Bungee Leash, especially for pet parents seeking a coordinated and stylish walking system.

How This Set Compares to Other Harnesses, Collars, and Leashes

Over the years, I have accumulated what is honestly an embarrassingly large collection of dog gear, including 12 harnesses, 15 collars, and 11 leashes from brands such as Top Paw, Kong, Hurtta, PetSafe, Wacky Walker, Martha Stewart Pets, AKC, and several smaller brands. But who’s counting?!

Many harnesses offer either a front clip or a back clip. Some have padding but limited adjustability. Others include reflective materials but lack a handle. 

Similarly, I own two leashes with traffic handles and one with a shock-absorbing bungee section, but none with both in the same design.

The PetSafe Easy Walk Comfort Set brings all of those features together in a single system. For dog owners who prefer a single versatile harness, collar, and leash combination rather than mixing and matching products from different brands, that may be one of its biggest advantages.

Final Verdict: Is the PetSafe Easy Walk Comfort No-Pull Harness Worth It?

After a week of testing with Riggie, I came away impressed with these three products. If you are looking for a comfortable, highly adjustable dog harness for large dogs, a complete harness-collar-and-leash set, or a no-pull harness that can grow with your dog’s training needs, this system is a solid choice. Bernese Mountain Dogs and other large and giant breeds are expensive to own, so small things like not having to buy new equipment as your dog matures are helpful.
