Now there are more and more types of dog harnesses on the market, and many friends who like dogs don’t know how to choose the right style dog harness. Here we will introduce you to several main styles of dog harnesses. Hope that through the introduction of the function and characteristics of these dog harnesses can give you some help.

Main styles of dog harnesses

Balance Harness

We like this well-designed, well-made harness a lot. It offers two nice, large rings as attachment points, one in the front and one on the back, and adjusts in six places. Every single strap that connects one piece of hardware to another adjusts individually: the left and right sides of the neck, the left and right sides of the chest, as well as the straps that connect the “collar” of the harness to the “girth” (one on the back of the dog’s neck and one that goes between his front legs). This enables an owner to get the fit just right.

To put it on the dog, you put the “collar” section over the dog’s head, pass the lower straps through the dog’s front legs, and snap them on both sides to the top strap (which is easy to identify and position, given its contrasting color). It’s super easy.

Front Range Harness

Front Range Harness is very attractive and well made, with heavy-duty hardware and double stitching throughout. It offers two leash-attachments points (front and back) and adjusts in four locations. It’s very easy to put on; just slip the collar section over the dog’s head, draw the straps between his front legs, and click the two long straps into the plastic buckles on either side.

The nylon straps are actually a bit thin, but because so much of the harness is well padded, this should not present a chafing issue. This was the best padded dog harness we reviewed.

Heavy Dog Harness

Heavy dog harness is mainly used for large working dogs, including service animals and those in law enforcement. Most of their products are big, strong, and bulky. The harness has two leash attachment points (front and back), and attachment points on the side of the harness for use when the dog is meant to pull. This designed to be used for both pulling (such as carting or sledding) when you attach lines to the rings on either side. When you attach a leash to the front attachment point, as a no-pull harness.

Freedom Harness

The harnesses that we rated with three paws also fit and functioned well. It with a strap that crosses the dog’s chest and shoulders horizontally. The Freedom Harness has two points of attachment (front and back) and adjusts in four places. Full disclosure: I have been using this harness at my training center for quite some time. It is my favorite of the across-the-shoulder harnesses for fit and quality.
