There are different designs when it comes to making harnesses. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks and one isn't better than the other. It depends on which one suits you and your pup more. The convertible
in the Convertible Harness refers to its hybrid design between the "head-in" and "step-in" harnesses. It is one of our most unique harnesses and has many features. Here's to name a few:
Quick and easy neck adjustment for a secured fit with the velcro fastener.
The same material used in wetsuits. It is physically tough, durable, all-weather resistant, and provides cushioning and protection to your pup.
High quality metal d-ring for extra security to withstand the test of time.
In house custom designed buckle for easy release and puts less stress on your fingers.
100 % polyester mesh material allows for easy cleaning and quick air dry, saving you time and hassle.
The "convertible" aspect of this harness refers to a mixture in design between the "head-in" and "step-in" harness.
The following explanation is quite lengthy but gives a good explanation and context.
The major difference between a "head-in" vs. a "step-in" harness is the way you put them onto your pet.
A "Head-in" harness requires a correct measurement of your dog's neck since the harness is put on over your dog's head (this is the reason we call it "head-in").
A "Step-in" harness requires a correct measurement of your dog's chest since the harness is put on by your dog "stepping" into the harness (this is the reason we call it "step-in").
You might be wondering what's the difference?
In a nutshell, head-in harnesses are very hard for your dog to escape because the neck and chest part of the harness are connected. The downside is that it's harder to put it on because once the head-in harness is over your dog's head, one of it's front legs needs to go through an opening on the side of the harness with no buckle.
To solve this, head-in harnesses with two buckles were made. However, some find it more bulky and cumbersome to put on.
This leads us to the Step-in harnesses. Step-in harnesses are all about "Easy-on, Easy-off" approach. Your dog steps through the two harness openings. You buckle it, and done.
The downside is step-in harnesses are easier to escape because the only point of contact to keep the harness staying on your dog is the buckle on its back.
Our convertible harness was created under the premise of combining the qualities of head-in and step-in harnesses. Convertible harness itself is a step-in harness, making it easy to put on and take off. It also has the velcro strap around the neck for adjustble neck size, providing a more secure fit preventing your dog escaping by backing out.

Our mini Aussie is 24 pounds and couldn’t fit in a large. It was too small. The website was out of stock for a lot of the sizes/colors which is disappointing. Also the different types of harnesses fit differently too so I would refer to the size chart and then maybe size up from there. Not sure why a small dog would need an XL harness seems ridiculous. But it was nice looking quality
I am pleased overall with the harness. It looks cute on my dog, it’s sturdy and the adjustments allow for a secure fit for a small breed. It took some digging to figure out what “convertible” meant before the purchase, so FYI, per the answered questions portion of their website: “The convertible harness is not reversible. The "convertible" aspect of this harness refers to a mixture in design between the "head-in" and "step-in" harness.” I like the neoprene, the color palate and the airy design. I’m not worried about it fraying. There is a plastic buckle for the chest, 2 D Rings the clip the leash to, and a Velcro collar to secure the neck. I believe the harness is designed to bear the weight of a dog pulling through the chest plate, traveling up the nylon straps, in turn, connecting to the buckle, so no stress is placed on the Velcro closure. I also asked before my purchase about the chest plate length, because my lil guy is short chested and I have bought harnesses based on chest circumference measurements only to find they are too long. I received an efficient customer service response: Here are the chest plates dimensions (for all sizes) for your reference: S - 7.5" M - 8" L - 9" XL - 11" The only thing I’m unsure of is - to me - the nylon straps feel ridged and scratchy at the point of transition. I also get worried that I’ve twisted it when I go to put it on him and he’s bouncing around all excited like, because of the inside out, pinched in the middle, kind of flip they made when securing the strap. My pup doesn’t seem to mind the feel though. And my personal preference also has no bearing on the actual quality of the harness itself. The harness is well made and a good purchase. Would recommend.
Hello. The harness was to small so I sent it back. Customer service for the return was very good. I like Gooby products. Have a good day.
