Harness Instructions
How to Fit
There are 4 straps to adjust in the
following order:
1. B (back) strap (most important)
2. G (girth) strap
3. C (chest) strap – one side of leash ring
4. C (chest) strap – other side of leash ring

Set-up For Adjusting B Strap
(harness off your dog)
- Measure your dog’s girth with a cloth
measuring tape behind his front legs.
(A leash or a string will also work)
- Fold the measuring tape in half
- Use the tape as a guide to adjust
the B strap to that length (include
side rings)
|
 |
Putting On
- Open snap buckle
- Place adjusted B strap over your
dog’s head and onto his back.
The label will be on your dog’s left side. The C strap and leash ring will be over your dog’s front
(forechest).
- Adjust the B strap more (if necessary) to place side rings in the middle of your dog's sides.
- Adjust the G strap to a snug fit
(like a comfortable belt) behind your
dog’s front legs
- Close snap buckle

 |
Last Step
- Adjust both sides of C strap (carefully) to place
leash ring over breast bone. Do not over-adjust.
The C strap should not be tight. It is better to have the C strap loose than too tight.

Check The Fit
-
Have your dog sit. You should get one finger easily under the G strap (like a comfortable belt).
-
Have your dog stand. The side-rings should be half-way down your dog’s side and behind his shoulder muscles.
- The G strap will angle forward slightly (not vertical). .
- The C strap should not be tight. It should angle downward (not horizontal). The leash ring should be over your dog’s breast bone, not hanging below.
- The C strap adjustment should allow your dog to walk, sit, and lie down comfortably. Make sure you can move the leash ring to the side of your dog’s breast bone.
-
The C strap should slack over your dog's shoulder when you pull your leash sideways. This provides comfortable shoulder room for your dog to step toward you.
