The perfect dog harness

You and your dog are special. There’s no other person/pup duo like yours. Your relationship is unique, your situation is one-of-a-kind, and your challenges and joys are singularly yours. There is a perfect dog harness for you.

Case 1: Oreo

For example: a close neighbor here at the shop has two little dogs: Panda and Oreo. Panda is a delightful, feminine, playful Japanese Chin. Oreo is not as easy to love – he’s a Shih Tzu who had a rough start in life and has some issues.

Shih Tzu Oreo and Japanese Chin PandaOreo can’t easily be handled and isn’t very trusting. Their owner, a woman with some mobility challenges, needs a harness she can leave on Oreo all the time. He refuses to put up with much handling.

Leaving a harness on all the time isn’t something we recommend. It’s too easy, especially for small dogs, to get caught on something and wind up in trouble. But in this case, with the dual circumstance of an aggressive dog and a disabled owner, we had to find a good solution.

The perfect dog harness for Oreo is the Yellow Dog Design Step-in. The strappy harness won’t make him too hot. Oreo has a good coat of fur. It’s smooth and won’t cause tangling. And no one has to reach underneath or fuss much with the buckle, since it’s a pinch clasp at the shoulder blades.

Fitting Oreo’s harness required gloves and many, many, many Chicken Heart Treats! We feel great when we see him walking around the neighborhood with his person. They’re both comfortable and safe.

Case 2: Coconut

Coconut, a Miniature Poodle, escaped from every harness his owners tried. His perfect dog harness is the Wrap-N-Go. It’s contained Coconut for several years now. But, on occasion, we still ask his people to bring Coconut in when we get new styles. Just so we know how long it takes a Houdini dog to wriggle out of them.

There is a perfect harness for every dog – but it’s not the same for all dogs. You and your dog’s individual circumstances and quirks will dictate which of dozens of harnesses suit your walking style best.

We love getting to know you and your dogs and finding the solutions that make everyone safe, comfortable, and happy.
