Our Strongest Harnesses for Large Dog Breeds
Large breed dogs can be a handful to walk, especially if they are strong pullers. If you have a large breed dog, there are many benefits to using a harness. Harnesses are more comfortable than collars and can help to prevent pulling. If you are looking for a safe and effective way to walk your large breed dog, a harness is the best option.
Here are some specific benefits of using a harness for large breed dogs:
- Safety: Harnesses distribute the force of pulling evenly across the dog's chest, which is much more comfortable and secure than a collar.
- Prevention of pulling: Harnesses can help to discourage pulling, as the dog will not be able to get as much leverage if they are attached to the harness from the front leash attachment.
- Comfort: Look for harnesses with soft, cushioned padding around the chest and neck region, which will make them more comfortable for your large dog to wear for extended periods. Our Complete Control Harness comes with neoprene padding to ensure a comfortable fit for your dog.
- Versatility: Harnesses can be used for a variety of activities, including walking, running, hiking, and swimming. This makes them a versatile and practical choice for large breed dogs.
If you are considering using a harness for your large breed dog, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
- Choose the right size: It is important to choose a harness that is the right size for your dog. A harness that is too small will be uncomfortable and may even restrict your dog's movement. A harness that is too large will be ineffective at preventing pulling. Reference our size charts to ensure the perfect fit.
- Make sure the harness is secure: The harness should be secure and should not come undone easily. You should be able to fit two fingers between the harness and your dog's body.
- Get your dog used to the harness: It is important to get your dog used to the harness before you take them for a walk. Start by putting the harness on your dog for short periods of time, and gradually increase the amount of time they wear it. You can also reward your dog with treats when they wear the harness.
If you follow these tips, you can choose a harness that is safe, comfortable, and effective for your large breed dog.
Have Complete Control With Our Large Fitting Dog Harnesses
Managing a large dog that tends to pull or lunge can be quite challenging. Our strongest Complete Control Harness offers multiple leash attachment points, giving you complete control of your dog's movements. The front-clip attachment point on the chest acts as anti-pull, discouraging your dog from pulling you around. On the other hand, the back-clip attachment located between the shoulder blades offers flexibility for casual walks or running sessions. These options allow you to enjoy stress-free outings with your pup while maintaining their safety and your peace of mind.
Large Fitting

Tips for Training Your Large-Breed Dog to Wear a Harness
Training your large-breed dog to wear a harness can be a challenge, but it is definitely possible with patience and positive reinforcement. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
- Start early: The sooner you start training your dog to wear a harness, the easier it will be. Puppies are more adaptable and less likely to be resistant to new things. This doesn't mean it's not possible to teach old dogs "new tricks!" It might take a little more patience until your older pup is ready to wear it full-time.
- Choose the right harness: There are several types of harnesses available: The Everything Harness Mesh Series is made with breathable mesh, The Everything Water-Resistant Series is water-resistant for rainy walks and easy clean, The Complete Control Harness is made for no-pull walks, and the Waterproof Harness for mud & rainy seasons. It is important to choose one that is the right harness size to fit your large dog. You should also make sure that the harness is comfortable and secure.
- Take it slow: Don't try to force your dog to wear the harness right away. Start by letting them sniff it and get used to the feel of it. Then, put the harness on them for short periods of time and gradually increase the amount of time they wear it.
- Make it a positive experience: When your dog is wearing the harness, give them lots of treats and praise. This will help them associate the harness with positive things.
- Be patient: It may take some time for your dog to get used to wearing a harness. Just be patient and consistent, and eventually they will get the hang of it.
Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:
- Avoid using force: If your dog is resistant to wearing the harness, don't force them. This will only make them more resistant.
- Be consistent: Once your dog is used to wearing the harness, it is important to be consistent with using it. This will help them understand that the harness is a normal part of their life.
- Get help from a professional: If you are having difficulty training your dog to wear a harness, you may want to get help from a professional dog trainer. They can help you develop a training plan that is right for your dog.
With patience and positive reinforcement, you can train your large-breed dog to wear a harness. This will make walks and other activities more enjoyable for both of you.
FAQs
A back D-ring is typically better for large dogs because it distributes the dog's weight more evenly and provides better control for the pet parent. However, the specific needs of the dog and its training may require a front D-ring in certain situations. If your dog tends to pull on walks, the front D-ring can be used to discourage pulling. It's best to consult with a professional trainer or veterinarian for individualized recommendations.
The size harness for a large breed dog will depend on their measurements. Measure around the widest part of the dog's chest, just behind the front legs. This will give you the girth measurement. Use this measurement to select the appropriate size harness according to our sizing chart. It is important to ensure that the harness is not too tight or too loose for the dog. A properly fitted harness should allow you to fit two fingers comfortably between the harness and the dog's body. Refer to our size charts to find your perfect fit
Yes, large dog harnesses can provide more control over your dog as they distribute pressure more evenly than a traditional collar which can reduce pulling. However, it's important to choose a properly fitted harness and train your dog to respond to your commands for optimal control.
Yes, harnesses can be very beneficial for big dogs. Harnesses are designed to distribute the pressure evenly across the dog's chest and shoulders while walking, which can be especially important for larger dogs that are prone to pulling or have a tendency to lunge. Harnesses also help prevent injuries to the dog's neck and throat that can occur when walking on a collar and leash. It's important to choose a harness that is appropriate for your dog's size and needs, and to ensure that it fits properly to avoid rubbing or discomfort. Refer to our size chart to find your perfect fit.
