Plaid Harness - easy, no-choke and comfortable!
Adjustable, light and strong, the Plaid Step-in Harness by Daba Doo is easy to use, choke-free and comfortable for your small dog!
Easy to use
Just put your little dog's front paws through the proper openings on either side of the connecting strap, bring the two sides up and close the easy pinch clasp at the shoulder blades! Scroll down for a short video of Fran demonstrating how to put the harness on Booker.)
Maximum Mobility for your little dog
The long straps, in front of and behind the front legs, come together high on the back, allowing your small dog's front legs maximum freedom of motion! Other step-in harnesses constrict movement at the shoulder. We love the Plaid Step-in Harness because it offers maximum mobility.
2 leash D-rings for extra security
Attach the leash to the D-rings over the clasp and you're ready to go! When you attach the leash to both D-rings, this adds
another level of security to the harness. If the clasp is not fastened properly, having the leash attached just above the clasp ensures that your pup will stay connected. The
matching leash (available separately) will complete the look.

Here's a guide to sizing and measuring. (Opens in a new window.)
The Harness Details
The leash rings on Sizes A, B and C are black plastic to match the other hardware on the harness (see the picture above). On Sizes D and E, the leash rings are silver metal to match the leash clasp. The hardware is appropriately sized for the size of harness. The long straps that circle the dog's chest are adjustable. The length of the connecting strap, which is under the chest between the front legs, is indicated in the sizing chart. A prominent Daba Doo tag is sewn on one long strap near the adjusting hardware - we always use this to tell the front from the back once the harness is adjusted. Made in Canada.
