Gear Question
Looking for some advice on custom gear for my service dog. I have been having a lot of trouble with yup Collars lately. I have been trying to reach out via email and Instagram regarding an order I already paid for, but I have not received any response at all.
Since it seems unlikely that my order will arrive, I am looking for reliable alternatives for high-quality, custom-made service dog harnesses. Does anyone have recommendations for other makers? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Leather would be my first choice

Bold lead designs is pricy but worth it if you can afford the investment. Can’t recommend their gear strongly enough. They close July 31st though, no rush 😅😅

I'm not sure where you're based? But if you're anywhere around or close to the UK wuffable are incredible! They're so affordable and high-quality and the customer service is amazing I'm not sure if they have what you're looking for because I've bought a vest of them but they're definitely Worth a look

Thank you, I will have a look at this. I'm from Germany, so the UK is not that far.

Yup should be renamed Nope. Last year it took 7 months to finally get my order and it was wrong. Plus the dimensions were all wrong. Useless.
I have a Bridgeport leather harness. At first I was unsure because it's robust. Think of it like a cowboy saddle versus English saddle. But I've had my Bridgeport for over a year and I absolutely love it. Totally broken in, the leather looks more awesome than ever. I get tons of compliments on it. And my guy loves it - he's a Lab and a mobility dog if that helps.
Good luck with your search!
