The easy walk harness shouldn't be so tight it is restricting the dog's movement - if it does, you have it fitted wrong.

When the dog pulls, the harness is meant to turn him/her towards the owner, and stop the forward movement- same principle as the gentle leader and halti, but instead of turning just the head/neck, the entire body is curved in. What I like about it is, unlike many of the head halters, most dogs accept the harnesses without any stress or fuss. Some dogs never accept the head halters, and the harness makes a good alternative. I walk dogs for a living, and I tell you, my job would be a hundred times more difficult without the harness on my chronic pulling client. I can walk a lively 120 lb bernese year old puppy with absolutely no stress or strain on my shoulders at all.
