How to Choose the Right Harness for Your Small Dog

Small Fit for Small Dogs 

First and foremost is a harness with a small fit that's designed for small dog breeds. Our harnesses are specifically designed to consider the unique needs and proportions of small dogs. They have a smaller chest and neck circumference, so they won't impede your dog's natural range of motion or cause any discomfort. 

Comfortable Padding 

The addition of comfortable padding is another important feature to consider when shopping for a small dog harness. Small dogs are often more prone to chafing, making padding a crucial factor in preventing discomfort. Look for harnesses with soft, cushioned padding around the chest and neck region, which will make them more comfortable for your small dog to wear for extended periods. 

Lightweight 

Another crucial aspect of a small dog harness is its weight. Since small dogs are less sturdy and muscular than their larger counterparts, they require a harness that is lightweight and easy for them to carry. Choose a harness that is made from lightweight materials such as mesh to reduce strain on your dog's body and look for designs with minimal hardware and buckles to further decrease weight. 

Additional tips for choosing a harness for your small dog: 

• Consider your dog's personality. Some dogs are more active than others, and some are more prone to pulling. If you have a dog that is active and pulls on the leash, you'll need a harness that is durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear such as the Complete Control Harness. 
• Consider your dog's size. Not all harnesses are created equal, and some are designed for specific sizes of dogs. Make sure to measure your dog before you buy a harness to ensure that it will fit properly. Reference our size chart to find your perfect fit. 
• Consider your dog's comfort. The last thing you want is for your dog to be uncomfortable in their harness. Choose a harness that is made from a soft, breathable material and that is adjustable to ensure a perfect fit. 

More Harness Tips: 

• Have your dog stand up straight on all fours when using the harness. 
• Make sure the harness fits snugly but not too tightly. You should be able to fit two fingers between the harness and your dog's body. 
• Adjust the straps so the harness is evenly distributed across your dog's body. 
• Ensure the buckles are secure. 
• Be patient. It may take some time for your dog to get used to wearing a harness. Be patient, and don't force them to wear it if they're uncomfortable. 
• Make it fun. Make walking with your dog a fun experience. Take them to interesting places and let them sniff around. 
• Reward good behavior. When your dog walks well with the harness, be sure to reward them with praise or a treat. 

Once you've found a harness that fits your dog properly, you can take them for a walk. Start with short walks and gradually increase the distance as your dog gets used to the harness. With a little patience, you'll enjoy walks in no time!
