Dog Harness Recommendations

Hello! What kind of leash do you use when you walk your dog? Today, I'm going to tell you about dog harnesses and leashes and recommend a few products. A harness is a dog walking accessory that wraps around the dog's neck and chest. When used with a leash, it allows you to safely control your dog. Originally, it was common to use a collar when walking, but since it can negatively impact a dog's trachea, many pet owners have switched to using harnesses.

So, what does a harness do? When only using a collar, excessive pressure can be applied to the neck when pulling a dog that is running. If this is repeated, it can cause pain and damage to the neck area. Harnesses distribute the pressure applied to the dog's neck to the body, making them safer. However, dogs that are not used to harnesses or are sensitive may feel uncomfortable, so I want to say that a harness is a choice, not a necessity.

Harnesses are mainly classified into H-type, Y-type, X-type, and L-type. For strong dogs, I recommend the H-type, for those who want easy wear, the Y-type, for those with tracheal problems, the X-type, and for active dogs, the L-type. Harnesses that are too small can be uncomfortable, and those that are too large can come off, so you need to choose a product that fits your dog's neck and chest size well. Now, I'll recommend harnesses based on each type!

H-type Harness

I recommend the H-type harness. It's the 'Crayon Dog Harness Chest Strap' from Playbow. It comes in 10 colorful colors, so you can choose according to your preference. It can be easily put on without lifting the legs, so even dogs with sensitive legs can wear it without stress.

Y-type Harness

I recommend the Y-type harness from Bodulang. Bodulang makes walking accessories with soft cotton that doesn't irritate the skin. If you have a very small dog, you may have been worried about the size and weight of the harness. This harness weighs only 60g in size S, making it comfortable for even the smallest dogs. It comes in various colors and sizes from S to L, so it can be worn by medium-sized dogs.

X-type Harness

The X-type, in particular, evenly distributes force in all directions from the chest, reducing pressure on the trachea even during sudden stops. It is recommended for elderly dogs with weakened muscles, small dogs, and obese dogs whose trachea is pressed by fat. Simple designs to ornate patterns are available, so you can choose according to your preference.

L-type Harness

Let me introduce you to the L-type harness from Mongtime. Did you know that guide dogs, search and rescue dogs, and detection dogs wear L-type harnesses? This is because the L-type harness has a structure that makes the front legs comfortable and allows for free movement. This product allows for free movement while being safe and sturdy, so you don't have to worry about your dog escaping. It has reflective stitching for safety at night! It also comes with a very durable leash, so you don't need to buy one separately, and it's great that you can choose from a wide range of sizes for small to large dogs.

Today, we've learned about dog harnesses and I've also recommended some products. How was it? I think it's good to use a harness when considering your dog's tracheal health. There are so many products out there, so it's best to use one that suits your dog's characteristics and needs. Thank you for reading today, and next time, we'll learn about potty training pads :)
