Dog Harness

For some dog owners, pulling a dog on a leash is cruel and unusual punishment. Dragging a dog by the neck, can hurt the dog and cause permanent injury. Thus, some dog owners have turned to a dog harness to better control their dogs during walks.

Dog harnesses come in a variety of shapes and sizes. For the dog owner, harnesses attach and circle the body of the dog. The dog is pulled toward the owner.

How Do You Buy One?

When buying a dog harness, pick one for the type of dog that you have. The collar should be loose fitting. You want the pull to be around the body.

Once you have selected the type, adjust the harness for the size of the dog. Then, try it on your dog. Make sure that the harness fits comfortably.  If so, you are ready to buy your first dog harness.

What Are Identification Tags? 

With a dog harness, you can place dog identification tags to either an alternative collar or have a ring attached to the leash. The identification tag can include where the dog lives and the dog owner’s phone number. Tags are important, if the dog gets lost.

What Can You Use The Dog Harness For?

A dog harness has been used for:

1)      Walking Your Dog.  A dog harness can give you better control of your dog, without pulling on the dog’s neck.

2)      Tracking or Pulling. A special dog harness is made for pulling. The item attaches to the harness, and the dog pulls it along.  On the other hand, tracking may not require a special dog harness, as the dog is actually scenting his way to the target.

3)      Dog Sleds.  A special dog harness is made to attach the dog to the sled.  In some cases, twelve dogs are used to pull the sled, provisions and dog owner through the snow and ice.  

4)      Guide Dogs.  A dog harness helps the blind owner to control his dog. The dogs are trained to work with blind people. The blind dog owner has a special relationship with his dog. 

What Are Some Special Conditions?

Some times, dogs can have physical conditions that require the use of a dog harness. This includes:

1)      Respiratory Problems. The dog harness will prevent the pulling on the dog’s neck and choking the dog. If the dog has a respiratory problem, a dog harness and leash is preferred for dog walks.

2)      Thick Neck.  These dogs can slip out of a collar. Therefore, the dog harness that attaches to the dog’s body may be the preferred choice.

What Are The Special Harnesses?

There are two special types of dog harnesses:

1)      The Car Back Seat. Here, the dog is attached to the back set and can’t move around the car. The dog is protected from sudden stops and turns.

2)      Handicapped Dogs. Some dogs have lost the use of their legs. Special harnesses are made to help them move around-both inside and outside the house.

Buy a Good Harness!   

Whichever dog harness you use, pick the harness that matches your condition or use.  Try not to buy the cheapest one at the store, you may find your dog tearing it up, right away. You want that harness to last for years.
