Harnesses

At the moment there are 2 types I make. The step in figure 8 and the chest plate. I am working on the no pull front attached harness. They can be made in any of the fabrics if it in stock.

Figure 8 Harness

It’s comprised of straps in the shape of the number eight. The harness wraps around the bottom of your dogs neck to form a secure cross on his/her back just after the armpits.

Chest Plate Harness

The chest harness is fastened to the dogs body with a chest strap and a girth strap. The chest strap extends horizontally at the level of the sternum, between the two shoulder joints.

If you want to measure your dog, take measurements of neck and girth (just behind front legs).

Martingale collars, also called non-slip collars, are a type of dog collar that provides more control than a typical flat collar, and prevent dogs from backing or slipping out. They look similar to a flat collar, but about 1/3 of the length of the collar is actually a smaller loop of fabric with a D-ring attached.

The collar works by constricting when the dog pulls on the leash. Tension on the leash causes the smaller loop to tighten, which in turn pulls the larger loop tighter – but not too tight! Martingale collars are adjustable, and should not tighten past the width of the dog’s neck. They offer comfortable security without harming your dog.

They’re a good choice for any dog who tends to back out of their collar, or for people who want a little more control of the leash without putting their dog in harm’s way. Safety, control and comfort in one easy tool!

Standard Martingale

Loosen slide on collar to fit over dogs neck. Then tighten slide to proper fit.

Martingale with Side Release Buckle

Release side release buckle for easy on/off of dog. Easiest collar to use

Measure the dogs neck as well as all the way around the head to be sure the collar can be slipped on and off over the head. Use the larger of the two as the size.
