The top connection is perfectly place for a big beast of a *. The back underbelly strap is just right to prevent the animal from backing out of the harness. Have a mini aussie with silky fur. My borador has instincts. My pug has yet to escape.

This harness cannot be trusted to actually restrain your dog if there is any tension on the leash. Harness is not usable. The clips on this are not very strong.
