These harnesses are amazing, easy to put on the dogs and impressively designed for your boxer kids. Manny and Floyd say a big thank you for helping mum walk us securely.
Our boxer is just over a year old, and we’ve struggled with harnesses from day 1. This is hands down the best harness. It fits best, and we love the easy handle on the top. It’s also impressive how it truly does not rub anywhere or bother his skin at his legs. We LOVE this harness.
Absolutely love this harness! I’ve tried so many over the past year and nothing really suited our Dalmatian. He has a barrel chest, and is very active, everything we have tried has been too short in the chest plate, or has had silly straps over his shoulders, restricting his range of motion. Which we absolutely did not want! This harness, is perfect! It has a place to put his lead in the back, and front. The chest plate is long ! The straps are not restricting his movement in anyway. It was an absolute joy to see him do park run this past weekend and be completely comfortable. Highly recommend this harness!!
Gene is my 1yr old Amstaff-Bulldog. I've gone through a few different harness brands on him as he's grown, but the Apex Hercules harness is my favourite. Good quality construction without being cumbersome, the design gives him plenty of unrestricted leg movement to freely run and explore, and I LOVE the colours against his coat!
My only recommendation is for the control handle to be more padded for handler comfort.
Thanks Nathan for inventing a harness for the deep chested breeds that actually fits. My Weimaraner and Doberman are now 5 years old and I have bought so many harnesses for them in that time and they have all been useless on them. So you can’t imagine how thrilled I was when I put your harness on them. It fit perfectly on both and the quality makes them look very smart. Two very good looking dogs were getting dragged down by ugly bad fitting harnesses. Now they look like the stunning pair they are suppose to be. I wish I found you 5 years ago.
We seriously love our harness, collar, and leash from Apex Dogs! You guys truly thought of everything, from the padded handles along the leash and harness, to easy to use seatbelt attachment to keep our dog safe on car rides, to perfect fit, and beautiful vibrant color with high quality materials. I would encourage every boxer owner to invest in these pieces. It’s been an absolute game changer for our boxer’s comfort, as well as ours as well! Thank you again, Apex Dogs!
100% recommend this Harness, it’s super adjustable and has made walkies so much better!! High quality and the included seatbelt with the lead is a win!! 🥳🥳
Struggled to find a harness to fit my mix breed girl, she has a very deep chest but a smaller neck and nothing fit till I tried APEX. Now I have the best control and support for walks and it doesn’t rub under her arms or pull across her shoulders. The lead is also great with the 2 different length handles and even a seatbelt built in for the car. All I can do is rave about this 💜harness
After trying several harnesses, the only one coming close to fitting being $60 more than the Apex Hercules, we decided to try the Hercules after seeing Apex Dogs advertised on Facebook.The difference in fit and control is remarkable to say the least.
I’ve been looking at the Apex harness for a long time although I’ve spent so much money on products that haven’t worked….
Finally I made a purchase and they definitely work for boxers!
I own two & walking them has become so much easier.
Look they are even smiling in their pictures 😂
