Does any of this sound familiar?
- Your dog brings you the leash and you say “not now.”
- You tell yourself they’re just getting older.
- You only walk early or late, when no one’s around.
Most dog parents blame their dog’s behavior, their age, or themselves. But often, the real problem is the harness.
Here are the 5 harness mistakes our customers tell us they were making before they found Dog Friendly Co.
The 5 mistakes
- 1
Your harness is a hassle to put on
Two buckles, twisted straps, and a dog who backs away. When getting ready is a fight, you walk less.
- 2
It only comes in S, M or L
Many dogs fall between sizes. The result: gaps in one spot and rubbing in another.
- 3
You never check under the straps
Scratching, shaking it off, or turning away from the harness can mean it’s bothering them. Most owners never look.
- 4
The leash clips on their back
A back clip gives your dog something to pull against. You end up holding on instead of walking.
- 5
You only walk when no one’s watching
One lunge in front of the neighbors, and many of us start walking early, late, or not at all. Your dog ends up with fewer walks.
If even one of these sounds like you,
it’s not your fault.
Many of our customers made the same mistakes.
Here’s what fixed all 5 for our customers.
The 5 fixes
- 1
One clip, over the head
On in seconds. No chasing, no lifting paws, no twisted straps.
- 2
6 sizes and 5 adjustment points
A fit that matches your dog’s actual shape, from XXS to XL. Wrong size? Exchanges are free.
- 3
Wide, soft, chafe-resistant straps
They spread the pressure instead of digging into one spot, so there’s less to rub.
- 4
A front D-ring for pullers
Clips at the chest and helps turn your dog back toward you when they pull.
- 5
More control on every walk
The front clip and a secure fit that stays put mean a surprise on the sidewalk stays small. Walk whenever you want.
The result:
Easier walks, and more of them.
Here’s what one customer with a strong-pulling rescue wrote after her first few walks:
