Harnesses

Dog harnesses are alternatives to traditional dog collars.

Dog harnesses can help prevent your dog from slipping out of your control.  This is especially helpful for puppies or dogs that have not been trained to walk on a leash and may be inclined to pull or tug on the leash.

Harnesses may help avoid throat damage injury from the pulling action of a collar and also from the leash getting caught under the dog’s legs as the leash stays clipped on the backside of the dog.

How to Choose a Harness for your Dog

When selecting a dog harness for your four-legged companion, keep these important factors in mind:

  1. Safety Features:
    • Durability and Security: Ensure the harness is sturdy and secure to prevent your dog from slipping out.
    • Visibility: Look for harnesses with reflective strips or materials to enhance visibility during early morning or evening walks.
    • Crash Testing: If you plan to use the harness in a car, opt for crash-tested models.
  2. Adjustability and Fit:
    • Adjustable Straps: Ensure the harness has multiple adjustment points to fit snugly around your dog’s neck and chest.
    • Proper Sizing: Measure your dog’s girth and neck to select the right size, allowing two fingers to fit between the harness and your dog’s body.
  3. Comfort:
    • Breathable Materials: Choose harnesses made from breathable fabrics to keep your dog cool during walks.
    • Padded Areas: Opt for harnesses with padded chest plates for added comfort.
  4. Ease of Use:
    • Easy On/Off Design: Select a harness that is simple to put on and take off your dog.
    • Quick Adjustments: Ensure the harness allows for quick adjustments to maintain a comfortable fit.
  5. Functionality:
    • Attachment Points: Consider dual clip harnesses for versatility, allowing attachment at both the front and back.
    • No-Pull Features: If your dog pulls, look for no-pull harnesses with a front attachment point to discourage pulling behavior.
