  I got this for my GSD to help me with balance. It worked well for me--but it cut into the sides of my dog because you must strap it on really tight in order to make sure it is stable on your dog's back. My dog would run away when I would get it out and cry when I put it on--I thought he was just not used to it, but after rubbing him down one afternoon I discovered some very large scabs behind his elbows. It is unfortunate because the harness seemed to work pretty well (for me) but was clearly hurting my boy. It is difficult because I purchased the pack and extra handle for it and I am currently in college and cannot easily pay for a custom made balance harness from Texas. This design needs to be improved upon immediately because the current one also places ALL the person's weight on the dog's spine--which is not good for the dog's back. If it is activedogs who designed this harness I'd be happy to work with them on something more ergonomic and comfortable for the dog who is going to be wearing it all day.
