Let’s have a closer look at each type of a dog harness:
Pulling Dog Harness
It can be used for developing dog's muscles. It is possible to attach a cargo to it, so your doggy will have to work hard to pull it. The example of cargo is a wooden box with sand, bricks or stones inside. You can also attach car tires of different sizes and weights. There are some professional types of dog pulling that are popular during different dog competitions. Most of the working dogs are also taught how to pull.
Here is another idea how to use a pulling dog harness with more fun. Our customers do jogging, rollerblading or bicycle pulling. Just be very careful and remember that you are responsible for your canine's well-being.
You can choose a nylon or leather dog harness. Nylon is a budget and more functional variant, it fits perfectly for walking in high humidity climate or when raining or snowing. On the other hand, leather is rich-looking, this material is natural and does no harm to your pet’s health.

Other features you should pay attention to:
Budget. We offer a wide variety of dog harnesses which will fit almost any budget. You are welcome to contact us, so we can assist you in choosing a dog harness based on your budget. Fittings. You might notice that there are few types of metal fittings which are used for producing dog harnesses. How to know which type of fittings is the best and safest for your dog? As a low budget solution, we recommend choosing steel nickel plated hardware. This material will make the fittings strong and durable. In case if your budget allows, you can choose brass for the hardware. Brass has all the beneficial qualities of nickel plated steel, but it is also well-known as good material when it comes to dogs with sensitive skin and high sensitivity to allergic reactions.
Size. It is very important to measure your dog properly before purchasing a dog harness. We will help you to do it fast and easily based on our instructions and Sizing Charts and Diagrams. Be attentive measuring your canine for a harness as it will help you to avoid the hassle of exchange.

Padding. We use natural felt paddings to make harnesses more comfortable for wearing. Is this feature important? You definitely should consider it while choosing a tracking or training dog harness. Padded dog harnesses are always more expensive, but you might find that the difference is not so big, especially since you invest in a timeproof dog harness.
Handle or no handle. You will enjoy using the handle on the top of the harness as a control tool. When your canine is off the leash and you need to grab your dog fast, the handle is the best and easiest way to do it without any troubles. Some people consider that a control handle isn’t important for a small dog harness because you are not going to control your doggy using this handle. But sometimes it is the fastest and easiest way to lift your dog securely.
Reflective trim. It can save your pet’s life. This reflective trim makes your pet visible for drivers and other passers-by in the evening. It is also a great feature for you if you love night walks with your furry friend. Walk your dog safely and be a responsible owner. You can order here this Nylon Dog Harness with Reflective Trim.
