Dog Harness FAQ
Common questions and answers for our best selling dog harness
To measure a dog for a harness, measure the widest part of your dog’s chest, just behind the front legs. Then, measure the circumference of your dog's neck where a collar would be normally. It's important to ensure the tape is snug but not tight and reference our harness size guide to find the right fit for your pup. A good fit in the harness keeps your pup safe and provides the most comfort. As a general guide, the harness should be snug in the neck and chest, but you should be able to fit a finer or two between the straps and your dog's body.
Yes, our dog harnesses have a front and back d-ring to walk your dog, the best no-pull dog harnesses have the option of a front D-ring to clip the leash which is at the lowest point of a dogs centre of gravity, on the chest, so when your pup pulls, the harness simply slows your dog down and back towards you! The front D-ring sits on the dog's chest rather than near the neck, making it the best and most comfortable harness for dogs that pull.
Each RMD harness features both front and back leash clip options, giving you flexibility to switch attachment points with your leash based on your training and walking preference.
Our Summit Harness has two buckles for the chest strap. When it comes to putting on a dog harness, the easiest way is to undo both buckles and place the harness over your dog's head. Once it is placed, you can pull the chest flap under your dog and behind the front legs and clip each side to the top part of the harness. Be sure to have the adjustments done first before putting the harness on your dog.
Walking your dog with a harness is considered better than using a collar, especially for dogs that pull. A harness provides more control walking your dog without putting pressure on your dog's neck, which is safer and more comfortable. Harnesses also distributes the dogs weight more evenly across the body, instead of just the neck, making walks more enjoyable for your dog.
Our harnesses for dogs have a dog safety handle on the back of the harness making it easier to carry your dog in and out of a vehicle, up difficult parts hiking or quickly grabbing onto your dog in emergencies. As well our harnesses have a reflective trim for safer walks.
