There are different types of harnesses to consider based on your lifestyle and pup, so it’s worth learning how to shop between them.
✔️ Back-clip harness: A back-clip harness is best for dogs that are fairly well-mannered. It’s a similar experience to walking with a simple collar, except the harness helps safely distribute the pressure away from your pet’s neck to their chest. However, unless the harness is also a tightening design, it won’t do much to restrict your dog from pulling.
✔️ Front-clip harness: For dogs that tend to pull, front-clip harnesses can help ensure your daily walk is a relaxing experience. By clipping the leash to the front of their body at their chest, when your pet starts pulling, they’ll simply turn themselves around (which won’t encourage them to keep lunging for that squirrel).
✔️ Dual-clip harness: Dual-clip harnesses can clip in both the front and back. They’re ideal for training pets as you can use a dual connection leash to help lead them while restricting them from pulling. With a dual-clip harness, you can choose whether you need a stronger no-pull option or just a simple back clip option.
✔️ Step-in harness: If you’ve got a wriggly dog, a step-in harness makes the process of getting your pet ready for their walk a bit easier. You simply place the harness on the ground and put your dog’s legs in the designated spots. This is ideal for pets that don’t like putting things over their head.
✔️ Tightening harness: Tightening harnesses help keep your pet from pulling by constricting around their body when they lunge forward. You’ll want to make sure you use a tightening harness with gentle fabric and hardware that isn’t too close to their throat, to keep them safe when pulling adds additional pressure.
