Performance: One of the most important things about a dog harness is how well it performs, so we look for harnesses that prevent pulling and help you maintain control over your pet. To test, we took these pups on walks with a variety of external stimuli like other dogs or squirrels to see how easy it was to handle the harness and control the dogs. Three points of leash attachment – including one at the chest, good for redirecting dogs that pull on leash

Step-in harness: If you've got a wiggly dog, a step-in harness makes the process of getting your pet ready a bit easier. You simply place the harness on the ground and put your dog's legs in the designated spots. This is ideal for pets that don't like putting things over their head. Ruffwear partners directly with Guide Dog schools that are accredited and certified by the International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF) and Service Dog schools that are accredited by and meet the standards of Assistance Dogs International (ADI). Squirmy pets will adore this step-in style harness (as will their parents) which makes it easy to secure them without fiddling with straps or put anything over their head (which can be especially difficult for some dogs). This non-restrictive harness keeps pressure off your dog's throat to keep their windpipe free and clear while walking. A step-in design makes it easy to use for pets that can be a bit squirmy when trying to get them ready for a walk. Simply put the harness on the ground and direct your pooch's front two paws into the designated spots. Another key factor could be the front leash clip-in point. If you are working on leash pulling with your pup, the front leash clip-in point is helpful for redirecting dogs that pull on their leash. In this case, the Front Range is the way to go.Ease of use: We consider many different aspects of each harness before recommending it, including how easy it is to secure onto your pet, adjust the straps, attach a leash and clean. Since 1994, Ruffwear has been dedicated to building gear for outdoor athletes and their human companions.They believe that their products should perform and that performance should be measured by the ability to enhance you outdoor adventures with your dogs.They're not simply a pet brand, their gear is designed, tested and rooted in the outdoors by people who live and breathe getting outside and living their best adventures with their dogs.These guiding principles, along with a desire to push the boundaries and explore, are what fuel their soul and drive them to create the best dog gear possible.

Front-clip harness: For dogs that tend to pull, front-clip harnesses can help ensure your daily walk is a relaxing experience. By clipping the leash to the front of their body at their chest, when your pet starts pulling, they'll simply turn themselves around (which won't encourage them to keep pulling or lunging forward at that squirrel).
