Product Information

However, with different shapes and sizes for various breeds, don’t make the mistake of assuming one size will fit all. As its name implies, a no-pull harness is a type of harness that discourages, minimizes, or even eliminates a dog’s aggressive pulling behavior. Designed to be both comfortable and practical, this is the best dog harness for hiking to reduce your dog’s pulling behavior. Look for one that doesn't sag, and ensure the straps don't lay over the dog's front legs and shoulders. A nylon handle on top offers more control over your dog while training, so even if he doesn’t prevent pulling, you can still stop him until he learns.

All this makes for a harness that not only works super well as a non pull training harness (we found it had the same calming effect as the Rabbitgoo harness). While the neck strap is ideal for dogs that resist putting their head through a harness, this design can make it confusing to put the harness on. Whether your dog pulls on the lead, has mobility constraints, or simply needs a more visible walking aid, a harness may be your new best friend. We can’t be sure why but our guess is that this was a calming effect, like that provided by ThunderShirts.

This is especially useful for those snake-like puppies that can chew on the harness while wearing it. The freedom no pulls harness has a soft velvet lining to make it comfortable for your dog and prevent friction ulcers – a complaint from some people after using other harnesses. The padding is nice because it doesn't rub on my thin-coated dog," says Scarlett Cermak, a dog trainer and owner of Embark Today. If you clip your lead to the chest panel, the tension caused by pulling will circle your dog back to you.

Padding: Extra padding provides comfort and reduces chafing and rubbing, which is particularly important for dogs that pull. Finding the best harness for your dog is like choosing the perfect running sneakers: Fit is crucial. A well-fitting harness should be snug but not too tight, with enough room to fit two to three fingers under all the straps. If you liked the look of the Ruffwear harness above, the Hurtta Active Harness is another one which might appeal.

Even if your pooch usually walks calmly on the leash, there may be times when there’s a risk of them dashing off.
