The Not So Good

Take your pup on that long-awaited road trip with this crash-tested dog harness by Sleepypod. As one of our favorite dog restraint systems for car rides, our experts appreciate that this harness accommodates a huge weight range from dogs 18 to 110 pounds. We also like that it was crash tested by both Sleepypod and the independent organization, The Center for Pet Safety. It passed the CPS Certification Testing in July of 2017 and again in October 2020 with a five-star rating on a 25-pound test dog for size small, 45- to 90-pound test dogs for size medium, 75- to 90-pound test dogs for size large and 90- to 110-pound test dogs for size extra large. Once you have a harness (and collar!) in the bag, the next important item is the leash. Dog leashes come in a variety of styles and lengths and are essential accoutrements for the welfare and protection of your dog, especially if walking near traffic and areas that require a tether. Some leads are made from cheap nylon webbing and cost only a few pounds while others are hand-made out of premium leather for maximum parkland prestige. What is the best type of leash for an unruly dog? The Rabbitgoo harness provides style and quality, and it’s impossible to deny. It has everything you need to retain control over your dog while also ensuring they are comfortable and secure.The heavy-duty plastic clips are seriously large and we wonder if this combination of wide webbing and large clips is the reason the whole harness tends to shift over to one side after a few minutes wear. That said, at no time did the dog – an elderly Labrador – appear to be in discomfort. We suspect the smaller sizes use narrower, thinner and more supple webbing, which should ensure the harness remains in better position.

The Julius-K9 provides a reassuringly snug fit that doesn’t get in the way of the dog’s movements; the lower chest strap sits just behind the forelegs and doesn’t rub against the elbows. However, it does seem a bit over-engineered. The chest webbing on the Size 1 model we tested is about 5cm in width and strong enough to pull a train. It’s also difficult to adjust. Understanding how to correctly fit your dog’s harness is important for their comfort while wearing it. Another handy feature is the traffic handle – a split section of non-stretchy webbing positioned very close to the dog’s harness. It’s imperative that you use this handle when approaching a road or walking on the pavement. Straps are attached via a slider, designed to adjust to tension and therefore correct pulling. The harness is lightweight, with soft but durable webbing that sits beneath your dog’s arms and helps to keep them cool during walks. The softness of the harness allows for a full range of movements, too, so your dog shouldn’t feel unnaturally restricted either.Julius-K9 is a huge player in the world of canine wear. The company started out supplying harnesses for police and emergency rescue dogs and has applied some of its original designs to a wide range of consumer pooch models. Additionally, there is reflective stitching that helps improve visibility and keeps you both safe at night. You also get more control over your dog, especially those that are larger or stronger. It’s a safer option. How to Measure Your Dog’s Chest for a Harness

This is part of why so many dog owners have made the switch to a dog harness instead of collars. Instead of pushing on their throat, it presses against the chest to let them know they are pulling too much without causing any discomfort.Yes. Although we extol the virtues of walking your dog with a harness, a collar is still essential attire for any dog (even when wearing a harness). Aside from being a legal requirement in the UK, a collar also tells others that the dog has an owner and isn’t a stray. A collar also allows you to attach a name tag – extra peace of mind that compliments the mandatory microchip underneath the animal’s skin between the shoulders. This is designed as a no-pull solution for most dogs, with both a lifting action and front control steering. It’s a great design for flat-nosed dogs who cannot wear a headcollar.
