Whether you're training a puppy, walking a strong puller, or heading out for a casual stroll, the right dog harness can make every walk safer and more enjoyable for both of you. Unlike collars, harnesses distribute pressure evenly across your dog’s chest and shoulders, offering better control without straining the neck.

Why Choose a Dog Harness?

Helps reduce pulling for dogs that lunge or lead
Supports training by improving handling and focus
Minimises tangling for puppies still learning to walk on lead
Protects large-breed walkers by reducing pressure on your arms and shoulders

Which harness is best for my dog?

The best harness for your dog depends on various factors, including their size, breed, activity level, and specific needs. Here are some common types of harnesses and their suitable uses:

Standard Harness: Ideal for most dogs for daily walks and general use.
No Pull Harness: Great for dogs that tend to pull during walks, as it provides better control and discourages pulling behaviour.
Vest Harness: Provides more coverage and support, suitable for dogs with certain health conditions.
Step In Harness: Easy to put on, making it suitable for dogs who are hesitant about having a harness slipped over their head.
Back Clip Harness: Comfortable for small dogs or those with delicate necks, with the leash attachment on their back.
Front Clip Harness: Effective for dogs that tend to pull, as the leash attachment is on their chest, discouraging pulling.
Car Safety Harness: Designed to secure your dog safely during car rides, preventing them from roaming and ensuring their safety.
Adventure/Sport Harness: Designed for active dogs, offering features like padding, reflective strips, and additional attachment points for outdoor activities.

How to measure a dog for a harness

Measuring your dog for a harness is essential to finding the right size. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Measure your dog's neck circumference by wrapping a tape measure around the base of their neck where the collar usually sits.
Step 2: Measure the widest part of your dog's chest, just behind their front legs.
Step 3: Measure the length of your dog's body from the base of their neck to the base of their tail.
Step 4: Use these measurements to determine the appropriate size range for the harness, and refer to the manufacturer's size chart on the product page for the specific harness you're interested in.

How to put a harness on a dog

To put a harness on your dog, follow these steps:

Step 1: Unfasten any buckles or snaps on the harness.
Step 2: Slide the harness over your dog's head, making sure it's positioned with the front strap on their chest.
Step 3: Bring the two sides of the harness around your dog's body and fasten the buckles or snaps securely.
Step 4: Adjust the straps to ensure a snug but comfortable fit, making sure it doesn't chafe or restrict movement.
Step 5: Double-check that you can fit two fingers between the harness and your dog's body to ensure it's not too tight.
