PLEASE WATCH THESE INSTRUCTIONS, WITH THE HARNESS IN HAND, BEFORE ASKING YOUR DOG TO PARTICIPATE

PLEASE MAKE THESE ADJUSTMENTS WHEN YOU AND YOUR DOG ARE RELAXED. NOT WHEN YOUR DOG IS SCRATCHING AT THE DOOR TO PEE RIGHT NOOOOW!

TAKE A "TEST DRIVE" IN YOUR HOME OR FENCED YARD BEFORE GOING LIVE

The harness’s three adjustments (Front, Body, and the Scooch setting) work in concert. Thus, they all have to be adjusted together. Also, adjusting the Body strap affects the amount of room in the Front, and adjusting the Front strap changes dimensions in the Body. AND adjusting the Scooch side ‘slider’ (see the Dobermann twins below) also changes those dimensions.

- Do NOT overtighten the Front because that pulls the straps into the armpits. See the photo of handsome Teddy, the blond, below
- Once you find where you like the slidy side, "Set" it as described in the video. Now your harness is custom-tailored for your dog.
- We want it "right" not "tight". Right means snug, 2-4 fingers can fit under the harness at the shoulder (where the reflective material is). See this on the video.
- That 'part in the front' is perfectly normal. It's bigger if your dog is at the lower end of the harness size range, smaller if your dog is at the top end of the harness size range.
- Because the harness pulls from one side, it 'bows' and 'gaps', and it doesn't look even. This is normal, and how it is meant to look.
       The 'gap', when the harness 'bows' out, is part of the design. Don't tighten the harness because of it. The material, and your dog, are flexible; it isn't supposed to fit like skin-tight spandex.

You also might need to adjust it a few times to get it "just right".

Scooch and Set. Move the 'slidey' side slider up to keep the shoulder strap up above the dogs shoulder.

 

 

PUTTING ON THE HARNESS IS SIMPLE

  • The label goes on the outside
  • The ring goes in the front
  • The strap goes behind the front legs
  • Click the buckle
ADJUSTING THE HARNESS IS SIMPLE TOO
  • It should be snug, yet not so tight it bites your dog. 2-4 fingers tightness is about right
  • 9 out of 10 dogs prefer you take the harness off them to adjust it
  • During the next several walks, adjust the harness to what works best for both of you; looser around the body, tighter on the chest, maybe vice-versa. Let common sense guide you
  
CHEST SIZE ADJUSTMENT
BOTH STRAPS MUST BE ADJUSTED EQUALLY AND REMAIN EQUAL LENGTHS
  • this is the part that sits centered on your dog's chest.
  • push both straps thru adjuster - at the same time
  • slide adjuster
  • pull straps flat again
BELLY SIZE ADJUSTMENT
  • adjusts like a knapsack strap
  • push webbing up thru adjuster
  • slide adjuster
  • pull webbing flat again
SIDE WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
  • The label side is sewn, the other side is 'slidey'
  • 'scooch' BOTH sides up, to just above the shoulders
  • you might need to readjust the belly strap now
  • Now set the slidey side - as noted in the video - so it is perfect for your dog
