Easy Walk Harness

The Easy Walk Harness for dogs is designed to stop lead pulling, quickly and comfortably. Available in two colours, black or red.

Why it works:

Traditional harnesses can actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the “opposition reflex.”  That’s the reflex that makes sled dogs do what they do. The Easy Walk Harness' unique front-chest leash attachment stops pulling by tightening slightly across your dog's chest and shoulder blades. The gentle pressure steers your dog to the side and redirects his attention back towards you. The Easy Walk Harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area.

How do I use the Easy Walk Harness?

If your dog forges ahead of you, gently pull the lead to the side to turn the dog towards you. As he stops pulling, be sure to release the tension on the lead. Use praise and reward your dog with treats and/or petting.

To slow your dog when he is pulling ahead, apply gentle pressure to the lead, pulling gently toward one side of the dog. Release the pressure on the lead when the dog is walking nicely next to you

How do I know which size Easy Walk Harness to buy?

The correctly sized harness for your dog is determined by their girth measurement, as measured from behind their front legs.

Fitting the harness:

• Open the quick-snap buckle on the belly strap.
• Place the shoulder strap over the dog’s head with the chest strap resting on the dog’s chest.
• Tighten belly strap to a comfortably snug fit. On medium-sized dogs, only allow room for about a finger’s width under the strap. Allow a bit more for larger dogs, less for smaller dogs.
• Gently press fingers on the lower part of the front of the dog’s chest to locate the breastbone.
• Adjust the shoulder strap so that when the chest strap is horizontal (parallel to the ground), the chest strap rests directly over the breast bone.
• AFTER you have tightened both the shoulder and belly straps, adjust the chest strap to fit securely. It should rest nearly parallel to the ground, not “hang down” or gap.
• You may need to remove the harness to make these adjustments.
•  When the shoulder strap is fitted correctly, the chest strap should resemble a horizontal line (parallel to the ground), and it will rest directly over the breastbone.
• Attach the leash to the D-ring on the chest strap.
