Start by sliding the harness over your dog’s head. A pulling harness should be quite snug around the neck, so to ease the process, you can twist the harness sideways. Twist the harness back into position and lock the buckles.
1 - Neck
You should be able to fit at least two fingers vertically between the top of your dog’s neck and the harness for a medium-sized dog (sizes 4-6). A bit less for smaller dogs, and more for bigger dogs.
Important!
Fingers on top of each other, between your dog’s neck and the harness.
2 - Chest
For medium-sized dogs, you should be able to fit at least two fingers vertically between your dog’s chest and the harness. Adjust on both sides, as evenly as possible.
3 - Armpits
Make sure there is room for your dog to move freely.
Tip!
If you find it hard to take the harness on/off, twist it sideways when pulling it over your dog’s head.
4 – Chest bone
The lowest point of the neck opening should be at your dog’s chest bone.
5 - Ribs
The side straps should lie on your dog’s rib cage, not further back than the last rib bone.
6 – Attachment point
Adjust the leash attachment rope so it starts right above the base of your dog’s tail.
Tips!
This point is most relevant for short-back dogs wearing a large-size harness.
