Does your dog take you for a walk rather than the other way around? Choosing between a collar and a harness makes a big difference in your daily routine.
The collar
Simple and practical for attaching an ID tag, but when the dog pulls, all the pressure is placed on the neck. For a dog that pulls a lot, this is not ideal.
The classic harness
The leash attaches to the back and the pressure is distributed across the chest. It's more comfortable, but it doesn't really help to reduce pulling.
The no-pull harness
It has a ring on the front, on the chest. When the dog pulls, it is gently redirected toward you, which makes walking easier to manage. Our reflective no-pull harness has both rings: front for training, back for relaxing walks.
Please note: no harness replaces training. It is a tool that supports learning to walk on a leash.
Taking the right measurements
- Use a flexible tape measure.
- Measure the chest circumference, just behind the front legs, at the widest point.
- If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one and adjust the straps.
Adjusting the harness correctly
You should be able to slide two fingers between the strap and the dog's body. Too tight, and it rubs; too loose, and the dog can escape from it.
3 tips for a calmer walk
- Stop as soon as the leash goes taut, and start walking again when it slackens.
- Reward your dog when they walk by your side.
- Keep training sessions short and regular.
