Step-In Dog Harness
Now, letÂ’s look at the steps for putting on a step-in harness. The difference between a standard harness and a step-in harness is that the former forms rectangles around your dogÂ’s legs, while the latter forms triangles.
1. Lay the harness flat on the ground, so that you can clearly see the two triangles. The buckles should be on top of the D-rings.
2. Hold your dog from behind and place his front feet in the two triangles.
3. Pick up the two ends of the harness and clip them together on your dogÂ’s back.
4. Adjust the harness accordingly. Try to pull it over your dogÂ’s head to make sure it is secure.
Front Clip Dog Harness
Last, letÂ’s look at how to put on a front-clip harness. A front-clip harness has the leash clip in the front over the dogÂ’s chest and is designed to discourage pulling. Some front-clip harnesses are shaped just like the standard or the step-in harness. If this is the case, follow the steps for those harnesses.
However, some front-clip harnesses have a different design, with one loop that goes around the ribs and a single strap that goes across the chest. There is no divider in between the dogÂ’s legs. If this is the type of harness you have, follow the steps below.
1. Kneel to the right side of your dog while he is calmly sitting or standing.
2. Put the loop of the harness over your dogÂ’s head. The harness label should sit on his left shoulder, and the metal ring for the leash should be at the center of his chest.
3. Reach underneath your dogÂ’s belly and fasten the belly strap.
4. Adjust the harness to fit your dog. Make sure you cannot pull it over his head.
Some harnesses can be tricky to figure out, but theyÂ’re easy once you get the hang of them. The most important step is to make sure the harness is snug, but not too tight so that your furry friend is safe and secure.
