Dog Harness Fitting Instructions

• The C strap is designed to ride low on a dog's chest. (See "Side Ring Position" photo in step #2 below). After fitting, the C strap should pivot up and down on the side rings without chafing your dog's chest.
• The leash ring should move up, down, forward, right and left.
• The side rings should be mid-way down a dog's side and behind his shoulder muscles.
• The buckle is designed to be low on the girth strap to prevent pressure on a dog's shoulder muscle.

1) Putting On

• Adjust out all of the straps.
• Open the snap buckle.
• Grab W strap with the LABEL facing to the RIGHT.
• Place W strap over your dog's head and onto his back.

2) Side Ring Position

• Adjust W strap to raise the side rings.
• The side rings should be mid-way down your dog's side and behind his shoulder muscles.

3) Buckling

• Position yourself next to your dog's RIGHT front leg and buckle G strap.

4) Final Steps

• Adjust G strap in.
• Adjust C strap in (both sides).

5) Checking The Fit

• Have your dog sit. Slide one finger
  under the G strap to make sure the strap
  is not too tight.
• Check the side ring placement by taking the harness off your dog. Measure the length of the W strap. It should be close to 1/2 your dog's girth measurement (including the side rings).
• The leash ring should cross over your
  dog's breast bone while he stands.
• Best Fit: The harness should look like
  an upside-down " Y ".

Collar - Harness Leash Attachment

Clip the leash to the top of the leash ring and to the ring of a regular collar simultaneously.

Use this setup:

• When first using the harness. This prevents the harness from shifting and offers general dog-safety while you are both learning the harness.
• With retractable and long leashes. This prevents dogs from tripping over the leash and helps prevent excessive rotational effect when your dog reaches the end of the leash.
• For strong and distracted dogs. This provides more control and distributes the load on hardware.
• For dogs who like to chew. This prevents a dog from grabbing the chest strap with his mouth while on leash.
