Happy to hear that! Loving the backpacks as well. That is up next for us too!
I actually snagged those off of Amazon for $15! They were normally priced at like $70. My only complaint is the neck/collar strap is kinda short. It's super tight on my lab. But I have an idea to fix it by either buying or making a super huge collar (it's just a single thickness plastic clasp collar, so easy enough to replicate). I was a tad worried about overall size, but they are actually big! I have the chest straps tightened down pretty much all the way and actually had to pin/sew the belly one to keep it from dangling (and thus getting peed on LOL). And it's not like my boys are small. The lab is a good 75 pounds of raw muscle. I also like how big the pockets are. I could fit 4 bottles of water on each dog, with room to spare. Or 2 bottles of water, 50 foot training lead, ball, treats, etc to go play/train in the ball diamonds. The main idea was the added weight was added exercise (especially up there where they get zero true off leash freedom to run and burn energy) and to hopefully help quell Kaizers reactivity (sometimes simply putting a back pack on can really help focus a working breed by making them think they have a "job" and it honestly did seem to chill him out some). They look completely ridiculous at night when I have ALL their crap strapped to them LOL I forgot to get pictures. But they have their prongs, regular collar, LED collars and then the backpacks. Plus the back up strap that goes from the prong to regular collar.
