When walking a dog on the lead the use of a harness can prove a beneficial way to stop it from pulling. A harness takes pressure off the dog’s neck and the connection of the lead is closer to the dog’s natural centre of gravity than it is when attached at the collar. Many trainers and competitors, as well as pet owners, use and recommend harnesses for dogs.
These new harnesses have been specially designed with an “O” ring at the top plus one at the front so that they can be used with a double ended lead. It becomes easy to stop your dog from pulling using Tellington TTouch* leading and balancing walking techniques. These harnesses are designed and made by Xtra Dog and the only fleece harness on the market specifically designed for Tellington TTouch groundwork.
Our fleece harnesses are offered in 10 sizes, to fit dogs as small as teacup dogs up to Irish Wolfhounds and everything in between, plus a special size for deep chested dogs like Pointers and Vizslas. We can also make a custom fit harness for dogs that do not fit our standard sizes. This can be a problem with certain cross breeds. Currently we offer the harnesses in 11 colours with more on the way - check our website for the latest styles. Please call us on 0330 088 3647 if you require a custom fit harness.
*Tellington TTouch leading exercises enable the dog to override old patterns of movement and behaviour without the use of fear or force. The ground work improves co-ordination, confidence, focus, self control, balance and co-operation. For more details visit: www.ttouchtteam.com
