What's the right size harness for my dog?
Measure the widest spot around your pupper's girth (I know, icky word). That's behind their front legs and up over their back. Ensure you can fit two fingers under the measuring tape so it's not too tight.
We bought this harness hoping it would prevent chaffing for our dog Mohana. We were also looking for a way to train her without pulling directly on her collar. This harness has exceeded our expectations. It is so simple to put on and makes training easier. We love the grab handle on the brace and on the lead, making it easy to shorten the lead quickly. Best of all, no chaffing.
This is the best harness I've ever bought. Both of my dogs walk perfectly with it.
I have a small adopted kelpie x mini daschund (adorable but crazy mix) who loves all size humans but is very reactive to other dogs on walks. Walking him with the no pull harness is much better than a regular harness. Its so much easier to regain his attention when he is being pulled around back towards me by trying to pull towards the other dog. The medium lead is great, the second neoprene loop being halfway up rather than at the bottom, where it was on other control leads I tried, is much more useful when controlling a small dog.
Together they have allowed me to walk him without using his head collar in situations where there are some dogs around but not in close proximity. With more training I am hopeful we can further reduce the situations where he needs the head collar, which in the past has been the only thing that has worked for less stressful walks.
He is nearly 8kg, slim build, 50cm around, and the small size only just fits him on the smallest setting, it could be a couple of cms tighter for an ideal 2 finger space fit. I would love to try an extra small option if there is one in the future.
Excellent product..dog and I enjoying the lime one!
