Types of Dog Harnesses
Here are 4 kinds of dog harness:
- Back-clip harness. A standard body harness with a back attachment is a popular choice for use with small dogs. A back-clip body harness prevents potential throat damage if your dog pulls, and makes it less likely that your leash will get caught under your dog’s legs. A body harness can offer more control than a plain collar, but requires a lot more strength from you, depending on the size of your dog. If you are using a long-line for exercise and added freedom, you should attach it to a body harness instead of a collar for your dog’s safety.
- Front-clip harness. These look like a standard body harness, but the leash attaches to a ring situated on the front of a dog’s chest. Front-clip harnesses are used for walking. When your dog pulls on the leash, the harness gives you leverage, since it is attached to the front of your dog’s body.
- No-pull harness: If your dog is notorious for pulling on your leash, you can try a no-pull harness. When they pull, pressure is applied to their chest rather than their neck to discourage them from pulling on their leash.
- Head halter. This is a tool that was inspired by a horse’s halter. A head halter allows you to control your dog’s head, working just like a horse halter does on a horse. This tool gives you the most control while walking your dog. This is a good choice for very large dogs that pull, even with a front-hook harness. The head halter also gives you leverage, but requires less strength from the handler. You should never use any sort of long-line with a head halter because your dog can injure himself if a leash suddenly stops him.
