Using a Dog Harness

Safety is very important when going out for walks with your dog. Even a well-behaved dog might be prone to running across the road unexpectedly. Just the sight of a cat can be enough for them to react and put themselves in harm’s way.

While a dog lead will help to keep them under control, dogs can occasionally slip out of them if they really want to. A walking harness, however, will wrap around your dog more effectively, helping to make sure that they cannot give you the slip. Dog harnesses are generally attached at the front or at the back, with those that are attached at the front giving greater control.

Harnesses are also popular because they are not like a dog collar which can cause your dog some discomfort and even cause them to choke. This is especially the case in smaller dogs with slender necks.

For troublesome dogs that tend to pull a lot that you need more control over, a head collar could be just what you need. These harnesses go around your dog’s head, giving greater control over their movement. They are ideal for training boisterous pooches for less restrictive collars and harnesses at some point in the future. When driving, it can also be necessary to secure your pooch to prevent them from impeding the driver. A dog car harness will also offer your pet some protection in the case of an accident.
