Frequently Ask Questions

How Do I Put on a Dog Harness? +

Every dog harness is a little different, so look at the harness instructions when available. Identify the front, back, and straps of the harness first. Then, slide it over your dog’s head or legs, depending on the style. Once it’s on the correct way, clip the buckles and adjust the straps as needed for a snug fit. It should be tight enough to prevent shifting when your dog moves, but it shouldn’t be so tight that it restricts movement.

How Do I Measure My Dog for a Harness? +

For harness sizing, measure around the widest part of your dog’s chest, which is just behind their front legs. Then, measure their lower neck, which is where their collar usually rests. Soft measuring tape can work, but a string and ruler are often more comforting for dogs. Compare the measurements to a harness brand’s sizing chart to determine which size you should get.

Are Harnesses Bad for Dogs? +

No, harnesses are not bad for dogs when properly fitted. They can reduce pressure on a dog’s neck when they pull, spreading force around their chest instead. Harnesses can be bad if they’re too tight, too loose, or not paired with proper training. A poorly fitted harness can restrict movement or cause irritation while using a harness without training could encourage pulling rather than prevent it.

Are Dog Harnesses Better Than Collars? +

It depends on your dog’s needs. Harnesses offer better control and less strain on your dog’s neck, so they’re great for strong pullers or dogs with sensitive necks, such as brachycephalic breeds and older dogs. Collars are a simpler design that can work great if your dog has mastered their leash manners already. Many dog parents use both so a collar can hold ID tags while a harness can make walks smoother.

Can a Dog Wear a Harness All the Time? +

No, dogs should not wear harnesses 24/7. Harnesses should only be used for walking and training, and then they should be removed when dogs are resting and sleeping, especially when unsupervised. Prolonged use can cause discomfort for your dog, including matting and irritation caused by rubbing. To make harnesses even more comfortable, clean them frequently and buy a new one if your dog grows or changes shape.
