Foreword
"Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit", it is more appropriate to use this word to describe my family. Every day when I walk the dog and open the door of the stairs, there will be such an amazing picture. A dog like a wind-up dog is running crazily. I, with a physique of 15 kilograms and a hundred kilograms, follow me in hot pursuit. Passers-by are laughing and stopping to watch. Often at this time I do not know whether to laugh or cry, whether I am walking the dog or the dog is walking me! Because our city is relatively small, there are no special rules for raising pets, and there is no need to apply for a dog license, but I insist that walking dogs must wear chest and back traction, I deeply know the importance of traction for dogs, it can effectively protect the safety of dogs, but also prevent the war between dogs, so it is very important to choose a beautiful and safe chest and back. Today, I would like to give you a good chest strap, which is Easy walk explosion-proof chest strap.

First knowledge of the product
Very simple white transparent plastic packaging, open the packaging, there are instructions and products inside, the instructions are beautifully printed, made in pure English, with the detailed introduction of Meitu, so that you can wear the dog correctly through the picture without understanding English.
Product structure
The product is mainly composed of three belts, namely, the shoulder belt, the chest belt and the abdominal belt. These three belts perform their respective duties and must be correctly distinguished.
Small accessories play an auxiliary function, including: O-rings, D-rings, adjustment points, buckles, connecting rings, do not underestimate these simple small accessories, but in the process of wearing chest straps, play a vital role.
Of course, brand identity is also very important, oh, it can let you know and understand the brand.
Product details
1. Material: High-quality nylon woven, soft feel, tough and wear-resistant texture, easy to clean
2. The interface edge of each belt has been heat treated, and the edge after treatment is very smooth, which will not cause off-line due to scratch in the use process.
3. The joints are sewn in the opposite direction to ensure that the dog will not rub against the dog's body when walking.
4. There are four adjustment points in the shoulder, abdomen and chest belt, which can be chosen by dogs of different sizes.
5. Arched stainless steel D ring, smooth and wear-resistant, tensile strength of 300 kg
6. The two straps on the shoulder and abdomen have two imported ABS injection-molded four-button, which is very simple and convenient to wear and take off.
7. The abdominal belt is black, which is obviously different from the shoulder belt and chest belt. It is easy to distinguish the wearing position and ensure the correct wearing.
Wear the product
1. Measure the size of the dog:
Chest width: measure from 2.5 behind the dog's forelegs, with the soft ruler parallel to the ground, and end at the same position on the other side.
Abdominal circumference measurement: Measure the dog's belly circumference { around the body along the back of the front feet }.
2. Check the size chart below and choose the appropriate length of the chest strap. If it is too tight, the dog will feel uncomfortable. If it is too loose, it will be easy to break free.
3. Distinguish the strap: The Shoulder indicated by the arrow in the figure below is the shoulder strap, so this strap needs to be worn above the dog's shoulder and back.
Belly is a belly belt, which is a belt around the dog's stomach. To distinguish it, this belt is black, which is different from the other two.
Chest refers to the chest strap, which has a D-shaped buckle in the middle to fasten the lead, and is located on the front chest of the dog.
4. Wearing method:
We now use dynamic pictures to show the wearing process, first keep opposite to the dog, put the shoulder strap and chest strap on the dog's shoulder and chest, then put the belly strap around the dog's belly, and lock the buckle.
5. Check whether it is worn correctly: Check whether it is worn correctly according to the following figure. If it is worn correctly, the buckle connecting the three belts should be in such a position above the dog's leg.
Precautions
1. Be sure that the dog wears the right size, too small will cause the dog to expiratory dyspnoea, pressure increases, otherwise it will be easy to break free, causing unsafe factors.
Determine the size of the dog, adjust the three straps of the shoulder, abdomen and chest to fit the length, and ensure that they are worn correctly. If you are worried, you can put your fingers into the straps and try the tightness of the chest and back. Small dogs can put two fingers in it.
2. Press the position of the connecting ring buckle and slide the chest strap up and down with your hand to see if the strap will rub the dog's skin. If the chest strap is always fixed and does not move, it means that it is worn well.
3. Easy walk is not designed for dogs who wear clothes. Wearing clothes and then wearing easy walk chest straps will cause explosion-proof failure because the chest and back are not close to the dog's body. It will also make the clothes and chest straps twisted together, causing the dog's physical discomfort.
Wearing effect
Originally hesitated to wear such a narrow chest strap, wearing on the body of La, will be submerged by the broad back of La, did not expect that the overall effect of the chest strap is still very prominent, comfort can be seen from the clever coordination of La, must be very good, 360 degrees to observe carefully, white La with red and black Easy walk chest strap. Unexpectedly beautiful into a beautiful landscape.
Use dynamic pictures to show the effect of running, wearing the chest and back to run smoothly, without restraint, the chest and back did not rub the dog's forelimbs and armpits because of the swing of the legs, the expression is very happy and comfortable.
Looking down at the dynamic of our little fat man walking at close range, his legs walk without violation and feeling, showing that he is relaxed and has no sense of oppression.
This test is a separate chest strap, you need to match the traction rope or buy the same brand traction rope in the mall. As long as you match the traction rope, you can start a pleasant dog walking mode at any time. Looking at the relaxed and comfortable pace, you can feel that the comfort and appearance of this chest strap coexist.
Product comparison
Choose two commonly used collars and vest chest back and Easy walk chest back to make a comparison.
Leather collar: The favorite of small dogs, high appearance and easy to match, mainly because of the variety of colors, but compared with the Easy Walk chest strap, the collar is easy to strangle the dog's throat when the dog runs, causing the dog to suffocate, nausea, cough, and back pain caused by pulling. The Easy Walk chest strap uses a chest strap design, which perfectly misses the dog's throat and ensures that the dog's throat will not be suppressed in the process of walking.
Vest chest and back: It is one of the most commonly used chest and back for small dogs. It is easy to wear and can be adjusted in size. However, compared with Easy walk chest and back, the vest is too hot and airtight to use in summer, and the back strap is too cumbersome. The traditional pull-back traction is easy to stimulate the dog's rebellious heart, which has the opposite effect.
In terms of weight, the Easy walk chest strap is lightweight, with a bandwidth of only 1.0 CM and a weight of only 49 G, which is much lower than weight of similar chest straps.
Outbound Incident Test
Parents who keep pets have experienced that they often encounter unexpected events in the process of walking the dog. At this moment, we usually choose to hold the leash tightly and pull the dog backwards to keep it away from dangerous areas. But every time the result is always contrary to our wishes. When the dog is pulled backwards, the dog's instinct will drag us forward more to resist the pulling force. It's called "the dog's antagonistic reflex.". Although my Lala is a small dog, the resistance is relatively weak, but the test of dealing with unexpected events outside is essential.
1. Downhill test: The dog generally runs faster downhill, because the body leans forward and steps out with the inertia of the legs. Generally, it is difficult to control the speed of the dog's sprint by pulling the chest and back. However, Easy Walk, as a chest belt, can be easily grasped. It always controls the dog around the owner's side. The phenomenon of dog walking no longer occurs, which completely subverts the traditional way of dog walking.
2. Test of encountering dangerous objects: In the process of walking a dog, it is inevitable to encounter more or less dangerous areas, such as the phenomenon of wires falling off in the picture below. Lala's nature will prompt him to pay attention and get close to his body. Easy walk chest strap has such a magical function, just tighten the traction rope and then gently lift it to make it deviate from the direction and be in a safe area. The speed was so fast that Lala didn't react.
3. Explosion-proof rush test: My Lala is known as the "overlord flower" in the community. It is often invincible in the community. Whenever I meet a small partner in the process of walking the dog, I can't help feeling nervous. I am afraid that Lala will jump on it. When I use Easy Walk chest and back to meet this situation, I just need to tighten the leash back and bring Lala back, which successfully avoids a close fight between dogs.
Clean up the chapter
Because the width of this chest strap is only 1.0 cm, the material belongs to durability, and it belongs to the poodle that does not shed too much, sticky hair, waterproof test is omitted, so the cleaning method I choose is washing, drop some laundry detergent in the basin, melt it with water below 40 degrees, soak it in the chest strap for one minute, and then rub it slightly, if heavy stains are found. You can use a soft brush to brush it gently, then rinse it with clean water, dry it in the shade, do not expose it to the sun!

Postscript
This is the end of this experience report. There may be some places that are not satisfactory enough, and there are many shortcomings in the experience process. I hope you will forgive me.
