The Easy Walk Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash.
Why it works:
Traditional harnesses can actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the “opposition reflex.” That’s the reflex that makes sled dogs do what they do. The Easy Walk Harness' unique front-chest leash attachment stops pulling by tightening slightly across your dog's chest and shoulder blades. The gentle pressure steers your dog to the side and redirecting his attention back towards you. The Easy Walk Harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area.
Quality features:
- A quick snap buckle on both the shoulder and belly straps make it easier to get the harness on and off.
- Soft, but strong nylon and four adjustment points provide maximum comfort and a reliable fit.
- The belly strap is an attractive complementary colour - making it easy to identify which strap goes over the shoulders and which goes under the belly.
Identifying the parts:
- The chest piece has a martingale loop with a “D” ring for attaching the leash.
- The shoulder strap is made of the same color nylon as the chest strap and has the woven Easy Walk tag.
- The belly strap is made of a complementary color.
How do I know which size Easy Walk™ Harness to buy?
The correctly sized harness for your dog is determined by their girth measurement, as measured from behind their front legs.
How do I use the Easy Walk Harness?
If your dog forges ahead of you, gently pull the leash to the side to turn the dog towards you. As he stops pulling, be sure to release the tension on the leash. Use praise and reward your dog with treats and/or petting.
To slow your dog when he is pulling ahead, apply gentle pressure to the leash, pulling gently toward one side of the dog. Release the pressure on the leash when the dog is walking nicely next to you.
Can I use my Easy Walk Harness with a retractable leash?
We do NOT recommend using the Easy Walk Harness with a retractable leash. With a retractable leash, the dog is “rewarded” with additional leash when he pulls ahead. We want the dog to learn to NOT pull ahead. In addition, a retractable leash will always apply a slight constant pressure, teaching your dog it is okay to continue pulling.
The chest portion of my dog’s Easy Walk Harness gaps when he walks. How can I fix this?
Fit is crucial to the effectiveness of the Easy Walk Harness. The girth portion (made up of the shoulder and belly straps) provide the foundation for a good fit and must be snug. The chest strap should also be correctly fitted, to avoid any drooping or gaping when the dog walks.
How can I tell the straps apart?
Each piece of your harness has an identifying feature. The shoulder strap features an “Easy Walk” tag. The chest strap is clearly identified by the martingale loop and the D-ring attachment for the leash. The belly strap is a coordinating colour.
Can I run with my dog, wearing an Easy Walk Harness?
Yes, but please be responsible! The Easy Walk Harness was created for making walks with your dog enjoyable and pull-free. Should you choose to run or jog with your dog, please be mindful of the possibility of chafing and discontinue use at the first sign of discomfort.
