    Yes! And it is recommended (and lots of car insurance in fact insists) that your dog be contained. That does not, however, mean that your dog is going to be safe in a crash. No matter how strong the harness is, if it is not crash tested for your dogs weight, then it is not entirely car safe.

  • What Do I Do If My Dog Doesn’t Like His/Her Harness?

    You can always desensitise a harness, but it takes time. It also depends on why your dog doesn’t like their harness. If they don’t like things going overtheir head? Choose our slippon or steppin harness Ensure a proper fit a harness that is too small will be uncomfortable and represent exactly that toyour dog, which can create a dislike. Check the fit, check for chafing and if this appears to be the case change the harness to one that fits properlyand that should help! If all else fails? Desensitise and counter condition.

  • Can Dogs Escape Their Harnesses?

    A well-fitted harness is usually quite hard to get out of — at least easily. But some dogs do learn the trick of how to slip them. If your dog can do this?Or you're worried about them escaping, a harness that includes a tummy strap is something I’ve never known a dog to be able to escape.

  • Why Do Some Harnesses Have A Handle?

    Really good question. Some dog sports use these for easy release action. However in the “Main stream” a handle can give better control.
