Benefits of wearing a dog harness

Harnesses are more than a trendy accessory – they're a game-changer for you and your furry friend. Here's why embracing the harness life is the best decision you'll make as a dog owner and how it will make dog walking more enjoyable for both of you.

1. Better Control, Better Walks

Harnesses distribute force evenly across your dog's chest and shoulders, giving you better control during walks. No more straining to keep your dog from lunging at every squirrel or pigeon. With a harness, you’re the boss, not your dog.

2. Safety First

Collars can strain your dog’s neck and potentially cause injury, especially for dogs prone to pulling. Harnesses, on the other hand, reduce the risk of neck injuries. A harness is like a seatbelt for your dog – it keeps them safe and secure.

3. Escape Artists Beware

Some dogs have a adventurous talent for slipping out of their collars. A harness makes it much harder for escape artists to wiggle free. Gives peace of mind for you, safety for them – it’s a win-win, making walks more enjoyable.

4. Training Made Easier

Our harnesses include a D-ring at the front, it allows better control, you can guide your dog’s movements and correct behaviours more effectively and discourages pulling and helps with teaching your dog to walk politely on a leash.

5. Comfort is Key

Imagine wearing a belt around your neck – not fun, right? Harnesses are designed to be more comfortable for your dog, reducing strain and distributing pressure evenly. This comfort can lead to a happier, more relaxed walking experience for both of you.

6. No More Throat Clearing

If your dog tends to cough or choke while wearing a collar, a harness can alleviate these issues. Our harnesses don’t put pressure on the throat, they can prevent hearing those unpleasant and concerning dog sounds during your walks.

7. Bonding Time

Using a harness can enhance the bond between you and your dog. Walks become more enjoyable and less stressful, creating positive experiences and memories. Plus, the added control and comfort mean you can focus on enjoying each other’s company, rather than battling against a collar and leash.

Harness the Power!

Switching to a harness isn’t just a change in gear – it’s a change in lifestyle. With benefits ranging from improved safety and control to enhanced comfort and style, harnesses offer a superior walking experience for both you and your dog.
