How to put on a harness

  1. Prepare the Harness: Undo the clips and place the harness over your dog’s head
  2. Secure the Straps: Take the strap between your dog’s front legs and fasten the clips on either side, connecting them along your dog’s back.
  3. Adjust for Fit: After fastening, adjust the girth strap as needed to ensure a snug fit without being restrictive. You should be able to slip one finger under each side strap.
  4. Acclimate Your Dog: To help your dog get used to the harness, take them for a walk immediately after putting it on for the first time. This positive experience will help them associate the harness with something enjoyable.
  5. Comfort Check: Leave the harness on for a short time after the walk to ensure your dog is comfortable, even while doing activities like rolling over. This helps verify that the fit is correct.
