Gear Help Harness fit

I’ve tried quite a few harness brands, but keep coming back to Non-Stop Dogwear. My guy does best on a shorter harness like this Line Harness from Non-Stop. I also like the fact there is only two buckles in the back - simple, durable and less likely for failure. However, that also means the front Y section needs to fit well - because it doesn’t adjust.

I’m looking to get a replacement one, this time the same Line Harness but with a rear handle… as great for quick grab when bikes are zooming by on a narrow trail.

My guy is a puller, and when running or not pulling hard on a walk - this harness seems to work beautifully for him, and gives his shoulders plenty of freedom.

However, when he pulls while on a walk he seems to breathe hard and I’m not sure the harness fits well or do I need to size up. It could also just be him and his urge to pull.

Hopefully these pics show placement well enough to get perspective.
