1. If there is no tension on the harness rope, it’s normal that it goes back on the back of your dog depending to its morphology.
Therefore, to ensure that the selected size is good, it is essential to pull on the harness rope to validate the adjustments.
2. If necessary, pull out the hair and the skin of the harness neck.
Good size
When pulling the harness rope horizontally, the harness strap must end at POINT D (where the dog’s tail starts).
As a result, the harness releases the thigh (1) and flanks areas (2).
In addition, the neck should be tight enough to hide the sternum bone (POINT B) and clear the shoulders.
Too large
In the case of a harness that is too big, the harness strap ends farther than POINT D (where the dog’s tail starts).
As a result, the harness passes over the upper thighs (1), put pressure on the flanks (2) and is not well supported by the rib cage.
In the case of an oversized neck, the sternum bone will be visible in the neck area of the harness. As a result, when the dog pulls, the strap around the neck spreads, creating pressure on the shoulders that can injure the dog.
