Reply to comment by CobraCommander in Adopting a dog in the next month or so. Any tips or watch-outs? by PurgatoryRider85

I’ve never heard someone say don’t get a harness. Why you say that?

I'd say this depends on breed and the dog's attitude

As OP said, It’s easier for a dog to wriggle out of and compels the dog to pull when walking. Something like a martingale collar is generally recommended, which tightens as the dog pulls (but only to a certain degree so it doesn’t injure them) and can’t just be backed out of like a harness can.
