"We tried out the product, and of course it works. It clips in the back and has a resistance when they start to pull or back out, it pulls against them. This Literally Saved Brutus’s Life."

Why Escape Free?

How many times has your dog tried to escape by backing out of its harness? The result of "that one time my dog escaped from its harness" can be a scary one. If you're fortunate, you might be able to catch your dog before something happens. But as dog parents ourselves, we are all certain that none of us want to ever take that chance.

The Gooby Escape Free Series were created for exactly that. The Patented Escape Free design contracts the harness when dogs try to back out, which tightens the space around their body and hugs them tightly so the harness will not slip off.

Why Escape Free Easy Fit Harness?

The Escape Free Easy Fit Harness is an excellent choice if you're looking for that core Escape Free Functionality but do not need other added functions such as memory foam padding or the extra 4 point adjustments.

Story of Our Furry Gals & Pals

Let's hear it from our very own Gooby moms & dads.

"Our favorite product is the Gooby Escape Free harness in turquoise. We've been looking for a product that would fit his chest. Especially for dachshunds it's really hard to find something that adjusts to their barrel chest size that's comfortable and fits just right."

Jasmine V. & Milo

“The escape free feature for this harness was life changing. It's really, really a smart design. We feel like when we go on walks or when we're going out to dinner, we don't have to think twice about their security and their safety.”

Grace L. & Elvis

Ellie R. & Jack

“If it wasn't for this harness, Lexi definitely would not be here today because of the fact that she would slip out of the harnesses and take off running.”

Features

Let's get geek out on the specifics. 📖

Escape Free Functionality

The Escape Free Harness contracts when dogs try to back out, which tightens the space around their body and hugs them more tightly.The harness is released when dogs are not backing out, which opens the space around the dog’s body so they stay comfortable. Click here to Learn more about Escape Free Functionality. 

Note: It is crucial to make sure the sizing is correct by checking to see if the harness still has space around the back, even after fully tightening the harness. There should be no space around the back whatsoever when the harness is pulled.

Soft Padded Shoulder

Compressed foam inside the shoulder area provides protection and added comfort when pulled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product

It has a patented design that can significantly reduce or even eliminate the risk of a dog escaping, particularly dogs that have a tendency to pull by backing up.

Harnesses in the Escape Free harness collection all come with this patented design.

Note:

  • The Escape Free Easy Fit is an excellent choice if you're looking for that core Escape Free Functionality but do not need other added functions such as memory foam padding or the extra 4 point adjustments.

Please follow these steps:

  1. Loosen all of the straps on the harness.
  2. Place the harness on the ground, with the side that has the Gooby logo facing up.
  3. Have your dog step into the two openings of the harness with their front legs.
  4. Pull the harness up and over your dog's back and securely fasten the buckle.
  5. To ensure a proper fit, adjust the rubber adjusters to the desired opening of about 1 finger's width of space between the back of the dog and the harness.
  6. Make sure to periodically check the fit of the harness and adjust as necessary to ensure your dog's comfort and safety. Also, ensure that the D-rings for attaching the leash is securely fastened to prevent your dog from escaping.

The Escape Free Harness is equipped with the Escape Free Functionality, a tightening mechanism that allows the harness to hug the dog's body whenever the leash is pulled or activated.

This feature is meant to discourage the dog from pulling or escaping from the harness. It also provides a snug and secure fit that can help prevent the harness from slipping or twisting. When the mechanism is activated, it tightens and reduces the space around your dog's back and hugs them tightly.

This prevents your dog from slipping out when they attempt to back out.

Therefore providing a comfortable and safe experience for both the dog and the owner.

We've written two extensive blogs on this. Please click on the following topics to learn more.

  1. Why do dogs escape our of their harnesses?
  2. The origin of Gooby's Escape Free Harnesses.

It's designed to fit a variety of small to medium dog breeds, but it may not be suitable for all dogs (i.e. large breeds like Labradors.)

Please measure your dog's chest girth to determine which size is best for your dog.

Measure around the widest part of your dog's chest, just behind the front legs.

We've had feedbacks from our community that the tightening of the harness tightens when it’s pulled can serve as a training signal to the dog.

This tightening signal makes it potentially useful during training.

However, we did not design this for training purposes. It was designed for dogs that have a tendency to pull by backing up.

We're constantly amazed from the feedbacks of our community.

Yes, it is machine washable.

We recommend the following:

  • using a gentle cycle with mild detergent and cold water
  • rinse the harness thoroughly before air drying it.

Black, pink, blue, green, turquoise and red.

Yes, it's suitable for normal outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, and running.

All Gooby Escape Free harnesses has a patented design that can significantly reduce or even eliminate the risk of a dog escaping, particularly dogs that have a tendency to pull by backing up.

Couple important reminders:

  1. No harness can prevent escape 100% of the time. This is especially true when the fit is incorrect.
  2. The tightening mechanism (i.e. the Escape Free Functionality) is only activated when the leash is pulled. When there's no active pulling involved, the mechanism loosens. This is to ensure your pup is comfortable or else the harness would be tight around their body at all times, making your pup uncomfortable.

Adjust the tabs according to your dog's size and shape.

Ideally, the harness should fit in a way so that there is about 1 finger's width of space between the back of the dog and the harness.

  • All Escape Free harnesses are equipped with the same escape free functionality, but their level of comfort and adjustability differs.
  • While the Escape Free Easy Fit is lightweight, the Sport and Memory Foam harnesses have greater adjustability due to the presence of 4-point adjusters.

While the Escape Free Harness can be used inside the car, it is not expected to function as a dog car harness.

Currently, there is no Gooby harness that is designed or rated for vehicle restraint systems.

Therefore, we do not advise connecting any of our harnesses to any restraint systems.

Any misuse of our harnesses can potentially result in product failure and/or even injury to your dog.

No, we do not.

We do have warranty on our products which covers items 1 year from date of purchase due to manufacturing defects.

Yes.

It features two rubber adjusters on the straps to provide a customized fit for your dog.

  • Mostly made of neoprene, a material commonly used in wetsuits.
  • The harness also features a compressed foam inner layer for added comfort and a soft webbing outer layer for durability.

Escape free easy fit harness

I purchased this harness for my Auggie (toy Australia Shepard, Pembroke Welsh corgi mix). He is 11lbs and has been an escape artist for other collars and harnesses. I bought him a size XS and it has worked great so far. He is not able to wiggle out of this one when he tries to back away. It seems very comfortable and easy to adjust the size for the perfect fit.

Love the design, fabric fell apart instantly.

The harness design is great, but the fabric on the outside of the harness is a loose weave and got shredded in two weeks time. It basically unraveled and the foam from the inside of the harness is showing. I know dogs don't care how they look, but it looks really ratty and I know it's a matter of time before the functionality of the harness itself is compromised. My dong has worn other harnesses for much longer (years even) without this happening. When I bought it I had a hunch it would happen and I was right. I just think a different fabric with a tighter weave would be great on the outside, and hopefully Gooby explores this option.

Not an escape proof harness for dogs with wider chests

I was really desperate for a no escape harness for my miniature dachshund and wanted to love this product. . It's so difficult to find a good fitting harness because of his barrel chest. His Chest measures about 18" and I purchased both a medium and a small. The medium was way too big. The small fit awkwardly but it fit. However, he was still able to back out of it. It is not a no escape harness for my dog. If you have a small dog with a bigger chest I cannot recommend this harness.

Hi Brooke, Thank you for your feedback about the Escape Free Easy Fit Harness. I am sorry to hear that your Gooby item did not fit your dog as well as you'd like. We do our best to provide accurate sizing guidance. However, given the differences among dogs, variations in measurement accuracy, variations in fur thickness, and unique body shapes and builds (such as skinny necks, slim waists, broad chests, etc.), there may be instances where the product doesn't fit as expected. We sincerely apologize for this. For dogs with unique body structures such as skinny necks, broad chests, skinny waists, and more, we recommend opting for step-in harnesses with 4-point adjustments. These harnesses offer greater adjustability, allowing you to shape the harness a little better to your dog's body structure. Below you may find some of the harnesses that has 4 point-adjustments - Escape Free Sport Harness in Small (if the dog is fully grown) - Escape Free Sport Harness in Medium (if you are still expecting your dog to grow) - Escape Free Memory Foam Harness in Small (if the dog fully grown) - Escape Free Memory Foam Harness in Medium (if you are still expecting your dog to grow) - Memory Foam Step-In Harness In Medium Please let us know if you have other questions or concerns. Always happy to help! :)

Dog Harness A+!

This size large is made well. The size small we had came apart at the seams. It happens, I sew and sometimes I go too close to the edges.
