Quick Answer: Slip the neck loop over your dog's head, guide their front legs through the leg openings one at a time, clip the belly strap, then run the two-finger check under every strap. Attach the leash to the front chest D-ring for no-pull training. The whole process takes about 30 seconds once your dog is used to it.
Step by Step
- Hold the harness open — identify the neck loop (goes over the head) and the leg holes
- Slip over the head — guide the neck loop over your dog's head, logo or front panel facing forward
- Guide the front legs through — one leg at a time into each leg opening
- Clip the belly strap — fasten underneath, center the clip
- Two-finger check — two fingers under every strap with slight resistance
- Attach leash to front D-ring — the chest clip, not the back clip, for no-pull training
Tips for Dogs Who Resist
Some dogs dislike harnesses at first. Treat the harness as a positive thing — drop treats inside it, let them sniff it, put it on and immediately go for a walk. Within a week most dogs associate the harness with the best part of their day.
