How do you put on an adjustable harness?

Published in Dog Harness 2 mins read

To put on an adjustable dog harness, position it so it goes under and around your dog's chest, reach for the other side of the buckles, bring it under your dog's legs and chest, buckle it into place, and then adjust for a comfortable and secure fit.

Putting on an adjustable harness involves a few key steps to ensure your dog's comfort and safety:

  1. Preparation: Unbuckle all straps on the harness and lay it flat on the ground.

  2. Positioning: Hold the harness and gently guide your dog to step into the harness. The harness should be positioned so that it goes under and around your dog's chest. The part that connects to the leash should typically rest on your dog's back.

  3. Buckling: Reach under your dog and bring the strap up to buckle it on the other side. Most harnesses have buckles on either side of the dog's chest. Secure all buckles.

  4. Adjustment: After buckling, ensure the harness fits snugly but not too tightly. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the harness and your dog's body. Adjust the straps as needed to achieve the correct fit. Pay attention to areas around the neck, chest, and back.

  5. Final Check: Before going for a walk, do a final check to make sure the harness is secure and properly adjusted. Make sure the straps aren't twisted and that the buckles are securely fastened.

By following these steps, you can safely and comfortably put on an adjustable harness on your dog, ensuring a secure and enjoyable walking experience.
