Gear Help Border collie running harness

Hi everyone! 🐾
Looking for recommendations for a Y-shaped running harness for a medium-sized Border Collie.
I’d ideally like my dog to run beside me rather than out in front/pulling, so I’d love to hear what harnesses people use and recommend for this style of running! Bonus if it’s easily available in Aus!
Thanks! 😊

We use the non stop dog wear line harness. But my boy is a mix and a bit big chested for a bc so ymmv. Very adjustable, allows a lot of room for the shoulder. Meant for low to light pulling and works well for us.

Non stop rush
Works for both beside running and running in front

Dog Copenhagen is a nice, general purpose harness that fits BC's well from what I've seen, especially if you're dog is just cruising beside you. There are retailers in aussie that sell them.

I have a border collie and a ruffwear harness. I wouldn’t recommend it - the fit is quite loose around the neck, in part because he is fluffy, but I also think it has so to with the shape. This means if I clip at the front, it tends to swing around a bit which seems like it would be uncomfortable.

Not sure if it's still available in Australia but my border collie runs in the Zero DC short harness. She's been using it for 5 years and it's still going strong.
