 Dog Harness Information 1. Which dogs are best suited for harnesses? A harness, which fits around your dog's chest and rib cage is ideal
for small dogs (15-25 lbs at adult weight), medium dogs (30-50 lbs at adult weight), sometimes large dogs, all flat-nosed dogs (Pug,
Boston Terrier, Pekingese, Bulldog varieties), those with delicate windpipes (Yorkshire
Terrier, Chihuahua, Pomeranian) and dogs with neck or spine problems. For these dogs, leash tension puts pressure on the throat and
trachea which can cause irritation, coughing, choking, or even a
collapsed trachea. Because the harness straps are on the dog's chest, it
relieves his neck from any harmful leash pressure. 2. Which type of harness is the easiest to use?  A Comfort Wrap Harness has a step-in design that's simple to use and
provides a comfortable fit for your dog. Simply lay the harness on the
ground and have your dog step in. Pull the harness up, clip the buckle
and you're ready! Multiple adjustment points ensure a perfect fit. 3. What are the different types of harnesses that prevent leash pulling? There are two types of no-pull harnesses.
One type has a leash attachment ring at the center of your dog's chest
which gives you more control of your dog's front half and gently guides
him back towards you when he pulls. The other type works by gently tightening around your dog's chest or
leg area, restraining him when he pulls. It is ideal for committed
pullers.  As a professional pet sitter and dog walker in my community of Boca Raton, Florida, I have encountered many dog owners that are not aware of the necessity, importance and assistance that these harnesses can offer. Not only do they give better control for walking, reduce pulling and help with training, they can prevent injuries to many dogs - and the walkers, because of the better control. Of course, by now, I hope everyone is throwing away their retractable leashes - I refuse to walk dogs with these at any time or size of dog. They are dangerous and worthless. There is a wide variety of styles of harnesses that offer you choices with form, function and fashion options. Check out your local pet supply stores and online shopping.
