Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a harness, instead of a collar on my dog?
Collars are essential for identification, but a quality harness offers better control over your dog while alleviating pressure on their neck and joints. It helps reduce leash pulling, increases comfort for your pet, and boosts safety during travel. Unlike collars, harnesses distribute pressure across the chest, shoulders, and upper back, providing better control and a more even pressure distribution for a safer and more comfortable walk.
Which type of harness should I choose for my dog?
There are several types of harnesses to choose from, including step-in, over-the-head, and front-clip designs. To select the best option for your dog, consider factors like the length and type of your walks, your dog's size and weight, and how much they tend to pull on the leash. Over-the-head harnesses are typically easier to adjust with fewer straps, though some dogs may not enjoy having it go over their heads. Step-in harnesses, while a bit trickier to put on, often offer more comfort. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, so it’s all about finding what works best for you and your dog. If you're having trouble deciding, feel free to reach out to our local team or visit your nearest store for expert guidance.
Do harnesses stop dogs from pulling?
A harness won’t instantly stop your dog from pulling. No collar or harness can teach your dog to walk calmly on a leash — only training can accomplish that! However, harnesses can serve as a helpful tool in your training journey, offering more comfort for you while working on discouraging pulling. Front clip harnesses such as the Halti Harness, can be especially helpful by providing you more control and allowing you to guide your dog more. Plus it’ll save your shoulders and arms from injury.
How do I choose the right size harness for my dog?
To choose the right size harness, measure your dog's chest girth and neck circumference. Compare these measurements with the sizing chart provided for each harness. Ensure the harness fits snugly but is not too tight, allowing for two fingers to fit between the harness and your dog's body.
- Step 1: Measure your dog's neck circumference by wrapping a tape measure around the base of their neck where the collar usually sits.
- Step 2: Measure the widest part of your dog's chest, just behind their front legs.
- Step 3: Measure the length of your dog's body from the base of their neck to the base of their tail.
- Step 4: Use these measurements to determine the appropriate size range for the harness, and refer to the manufacturer's size chart on the product page for the specific harness you're interested in.
