My 10 lbs Miniature Pincher has escaped out of a lot of harnesses and collars. Her girth is around 17” On the chart Size for the harness she is in between two sizes the XXS and the XS. So I ordered both Flatline sizes XS and the XXS. The XS was just too big in the chest there was gaps were she can slip her head out of. And the handle was more closer to her butt, so it was a bit long for her body length. The straps on the XS did fit the belly area on the shortest titus setting good.
The XXS harness was a better fit around the chest area it was more flat it had no gap where she could slip her head out of it. The belly strap were not as long as the XS size but long enough,around the belly area. I also like the placement of the handle on the back-it distributes the weight on her body better and its is now in the middle of her back not by her butt. So far she has not wiggled out of this lightweight Flagline harness.
Just remember to slip two fingers under each strap and make sure it’s not too loose on your dog body were it turns when the leash is on. Think of it like this. You want your ring, snug enough on your finger, but not to loose where it’s gonna turn too much and slips off.
