We don't have issues with pulling, so prefer back clip to keep the leash out of the way. I had a cheap mesh vest style harness while my puppy was growing and looking to upgrade to a fancy padded harness (eg Ruffwear Front Range, Wilderdog, Fei and Eve, etc) now that she's full grown (20 pounds). A lot of the harnesses I see have just one back clip and I notice the back clip is all the way at the base of the harness, rather than up higher between the shoulder blades. In fact, the only harnesses I see with the back clips up higher are the ones with two back clips. I would think having it up higher would put more even pressure on the sternum if the dog were to pull/bolt, compared to yanking the whole harness back along the spine. In the two clip system I always assumed the one up higher was the default and the lower one was for a second leash if desired, but the harnesses with one clip defaulting to the lower location has me thinking. What am I missing?
