There are many different harnesses, so how do you choose the suitable harness for your dog? Let’s take a look at some of the most popular harnesses, their uses, and which dogs can benefit from them.

Dog harnesses come in a variety of sizes. Each manufacturer has its size charts. You need to know your dog’s circumference (chest measurement). There are many breeds of dogs. They come in all sizes and shapes. To ensure a perfect fit, measure your dog’s size (all around) just behind the front legs. You can also use a piece of string or wire to measure the length. Although there are many new models and designs, most harnesses can be described as follows.

Step-In Harnesses

Dog owners love step-in harnesses, and for a good reason. Step-in harnesses are easy to use, easy to adjust, comfortable, and available in many sizes and designs. Most step-in harnesses consist of two straps connected at both ends with a buckle. Between the straps is a vertical strap that creates space for the dog’s front paws. The harness is placed over the dog’s head, and the buckle is closed. This is very simple.

Standard Harnesses

Most people are familiar with standard (or Roman) harnesses. The straps were often a bit confusing and could slip all over the place. Standard harnesses could be difficult to manage in the past. This is not the case now. Many manufacturers have updated the style so that dogs can wear these harnesses and are easy to put on. The standard harness is worn over the dog’s head. One leg is tucked into the “armhole,” and the lower strap is buckled and fastened.

You can adjust the straps to fit your dog. Most harnesses have a “parachute buckle” that snaps shut, so your dog doesn’t have to move. Why not try the Roman harness if you haven’t used it in a while?

Vest Harnesses

Pouch harnesses are becoming increasingly popular and don’t burden your dog’s neck. The D-ring of the leash is placed on the dog’s neck, away from his sensitive throat. There are many different models: functional, fashionable, modern, and fun. Most harnesses are more sporty, like the Puppia Soft Harness. They cannot be adjusted around the neck. Vest harnesses come in many sizes so that most dogs, especially those under 25 pounds, can find the right fit. Measure the circumference of your dog’s waist just below the front legs. You can put the harness on your dog by placing it on his neck.

Easy-On Harnesses

These harnesses are made with industrial-strength VelcroTM ™. VelcroTM harnesses are easy for anyone to strap on. Put the harness on your dog’s back and then slip it around his neck. It must fit properly. Most dogs will not fit. These harnesses are ideal for escape artists as they provide excellent protection and fit perfectly. These unique harnesses are suitable for dogs who don’t want to get lost in the crowd, have special medical or training needs, or simply want to be different.
