What is Pet Harness

 

A Pet harness is a device consisting of strips of webbing that almost wrap around the animal's torso and are held together using side release buckles. These harnesses are usually made with straps over the chest in front of the forelimbs, and straps around the torso behind the forelimbs, with straps in between. They feature D-rings that fit on a leash and are most commonly used to restrain animals, but dogs also wear them specifically to assist people with disabilities or to lead people and objects.

 

 

Benefits of Pet Harness

 

Neck and Spine health
If you have a dog who is exuberant on his walks, he will be tugging on the leash which will, in turn, tug on his collar and his neck. A dog can injure his larynx and/or his neck and spine if he is tugging too hard on the leash.

 

It's harder to escape
A dog in a collar can easily wiggle out of it and run into danger or get lost. A dog in a well-fitted harness is safer from escape because it's harder to get out of a harness. Also, if your dog is trying to get out of her harness while you're on a walk, you will notice it, unlike if she gets out of her collar, it's a simple matter of her backing out of it and then she's gone.

 

A harness can help an older dog stand
If you have an older dog who is finding it harder and harder to get up or navigate steps, a harness will help you with leverage to help lift her to her feet or help her up and down the stairs. There are even harnesses you can buy that have handles on them to help you with an older dog or one struggling with mobility issues.

 

Walking made easier
When you walk a dog on a leash and with a collar who loves to tug and turns the walk into a “drag” for both of you, a harness is an ideal option. When your dog is in a harness his tugging forward isn't as much of a strain on you and your arm. You can more easily train your dog to “heel” or “walk nicely” when he is in a harness.

 

 

What are the Applications of Pet Harness

 

Dog Walking
The primary application, providing control and safety during regular walks, especially for strong pullers or energetic dogs.

 

Hiking and Outdoor Activities
Harnesses are ideal for outdoor adventures, offering better control and balance when traversing uneven terrain or when the pet needs to navigate obstacles.

 

Running and Biking
For pets that enjoy running alongside cyclists or joggers, a harness provides a safer connection point and helps maintain stability during vigorous exercise.

 

Service and Therapy Animals
Service dogs and therapy animals often wear harnesses that signify their role, allowing them to perform tasks safely and effectively.

 

Training and Behavior Modification
Specialized harnesses, such as no-pull or front-clip harnesses, are used in behavior training to manage and correct unwanted behaviors like pulling or jumping.

 

 

Types of Pet Harness

 

Back-clip Harness
This is likely the most common style, and the dog's leash will clip onto a ring located at the back of the harness. This could be located either on the neck or the spine area, or sometimes even both. These are great for small dogs and decrease pressure on the trachea. They're also comfortable and easy for your furry friend to wear, and decrease the chances of your dog's legs getting tangled up in a loose leash. However, if your dog is a puller, it means less control-the back-clip attachment of this type of harness makes it easier for your dog to pull.

 

Front-clip Harness
The leash for this type of harness clips to the front of the chest, giving you more control. If your dog tries to pull during a walk, the position of the ring means that it is difficult for it to do so.

 

Dual-clip Harness
Okay, there's a third type of harness-a combination of both of the above! This clips the leash to both the front and back of your dog and is used mostly by dog trainers.

 

Vest Harness
Vest harnesses are comfortable, secure, and come in a range of styles. They're often padded, which decreases the chances of chafing. They're an ideal option for smaller dogs and have clips in the front, back, or both.

 

Step-In Harness
The name refers to the way you'll put the harness on. Spread it onto the floor and let your pup step in, then pull both sides up around your dog's chest and clip to close. Most step-in harnesses utilize a back-clip.

 

 

Understanding the Importance of Pet Harness

 

Safety and control when out and about
Dog harnesses offer not only safety but also good control, especially for active pups. Vest harnesses do not pull your dog's throat and can discourage pulling behavior by distributing pulling force across the chest and back. Moreover, many feature reflective strips for greater visibility in low-light conditions.

 

Reducing pulling and tugging
Dog harnesses are designed to discourage pulling behavior. The front clip harnesses and no-pull dog harnesses turn your dog towards you every time they try to pull, making it a natural training mechanism. Remember, it's essential to pick the correct dog harness size for this!

 

Beneficial for dogs with medical conditions
Dog harnesses can also be beneficial for dogs with respiratory or throat problems. Harnesses made with soft and sturdy materials provide comfort and support for your pup while venturing into the great outdoors. A durable dog harness, such as a head strap or step-in harness, can provide the required support for your pup.

 

Components of Pet Harness

 

Fastening System
This typically includes buckles, straps, and sometimes clips. It's responsible for securing the harness around the pet's body. The fastening system must be durable and easy to use, allowing for quick attachment and release.

 

Neck Strap
Found at the top of the harness, this strap goes around the pet's neck. It should fit snugly but not be constricting. Some harnesses have a Y-shaped neck strap for added security.

 

Back Panel
The central section of the harness where the leash attaches. It spans from the neck strap to the chest and belly straps, creating a secure point of contact for the leash.

 

Chest Strap
Located below the neck strap, the chest strap crosses between the pet's front legs. It helps distribute the force more evenly across the chest and shoulders, reducing strain on the neck.

 

Padded Areas
Many harnesses include padding in areas that come into contact with the pet's skin, such as the neck, chest, and girth, to enhance comfort and prevent chafing.

 

Handle
Some harnesses feature a handle on the back panel, which allows the owner to lift the pet gently if necessary, such as when getting in and out of a vehicle.

 

Breastplate
In some harness designs, the back panel extends forward to cover the chest area, which can help prevent neck strain and provide additional control.

 

 

Different Breeds Have Different Needs When It Comes To Dog Harnesses

 

Small Breeds
Small dogs like Chihuahuas or Pomeranians often do well with back-clip harnesses as they're less likely to pull on their leash aggressively.

 

Large Breeds
Larger breeds like German Shepherds or Labradors that might be prone to pulling could benefit from front-clip or control harnesses.

 

Brachycephalic Breeds
Dogs with short noses like Bulldogs or Pugs should avoid neck pressure, making back-clip or vest harnesses ideal choices.

 

 

Pet Harness Features

 

Training Aid
Some harnesses are designed to encourage better walking manners. They can help train dogs to walk calmly without pulling, as pulling on the leash does not result in the same discomfort as it might with a collar.

 

Comfort for Pets
Properly fitted harnesses can be more comfortable for pets, particularly those with breathing issues or neck sensitivities.

 

Protection for Small Breeds
Small dogs and breeds with fragile necks benefit from harnesses, as they are less prone to injury during walks.

 

Preventing Jumping
Harnesses can discourage pets from jumping up on people or other animals, as it's more difficult for them to do so when wearing one.

 

 

How to Choose Pet Harness

 

The Size and Breed of Your Dog
The first factor to consider for dog harness sizing is the size and breed of your dog. Smaller breeds typically overheat easily so a vest harness made from a breathable material like mesh would be a good fit. On the other hand, larger breeds with more pulling force may need a durable dog harness like the strap harness. If your dog is a strong puller, such as a Husky or Boxer, look for a harness that discourages pulling behavior. An important factor to get the proper harness size is your dog's weight. Make sure you compare your dog's weight to the manufacturer's size guide to ensure a comfortable and safe harness for your pup.

 

The Comfort and Material of The Harness
Another factor to consider is the comfort and material of the harness. Padded harnesses tend to offer more comfort and less direct pressure on your dog's body. Materials also matter, with options ranging from nylon webbing to leather. Some harnesses feature reflective strips making them perfect for evening walks. It's crucial to remember that just because a harness is higher in price, it doesn't mean it's more comfortable for your dog.

 

The Adjustability and Ease of Use
Good control is also necessary when exploring harness attachments. The back clip harness is usually ideal for dogs who behave well on walks. If you have an active dog who loves to dart around, the front attachment harness provides more control. Furthermore, a handle attachment harness offers good control for dogs who jostle and pull, as it can secure your dog both in the car and on walks.

 

Reflectivity and Visibility for Night Walks
If you are into nighttime walks, the light conditions matter. Some dog harnesses are equipped with reflective strips that provide a safety feature for your dog in low-light conditions.

 

Caring for Your Dog's Harness
Once you've chosen the right harness, it's time to remember that care and maintenance for the harness are important to keep your dog comfortable and safe.

 

 

How to Maintain Pet Harness

 

Regular Cleaning: The Basics
Dirt, oils, and environmental pollutants can accumulate on a harness, leading to premature wear and potentially causing discomfort or skin issues for your dog. Regular cleaning is crucial and depends on the type of material your harness is made of.Nylon and Fabric Harnesses: These can often be machine washed in a gentle cycle with mild detergent. To protect both the harness and your washing machine, place the harness in a pillowcase or wash bag. Air dry the harness away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.


Inspecting for Wear and Tear
Regular inspection of the harness is crucial. Look for frayed edges, loose threads, or signs of chewing on fabric harnesses. For leather harnesses, check for cracks or stiff areas. Pay special attention to the buckles and D-rings as these are critical points that bear the most stress.

 

Storage Solutions
Proper storage of your dog's harness can extend its life. Keep it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing the harness in a cramped space where it can get twisted or misshapen. If your dog doesn't use the harness daily, consider hanging it on a hook or placing it in a designated drawer.

 

Dealing with Odors
Dog harnesses can get smelly, particularly if they're frequently used in wet conditions or if your dog sweats a lot. Baking soda and vinegar can be effective in neutralizing odors. For fabric harnesses, a soak in a mixture of water and vinegar, followed by a thorough air drying, can do wonders. For leather, specialized leather deodorizers are recommended.

 

Managing Wet Harnesses
If the harness gets wet, it's important to dry it out properly to prevent mildew and maintain the integrity of the material. Pat down fabric harnesses with a towel and let them air dry. Leather harnesses should be dried slowly, away from heat sources, to prevent the leather from becoming brittle.

 

Regular Fit Checks and Adjustments
Your dog's size and shape can change over time due to growth, weight loss, or weight gain. Regularly check the fit of the harness and adjust it as necessary to ensure it's not too tight or too loose, which can lead to discomfort or escape.
