How to put on and check the fit of your pulling harness

How do I put on the Freemotion harness 5.0/Combined harness?Start by sliding the harness over your dog&#x2019;s head. A pulling harness should be quite snug around the neck, so to ease the process, you can twist the harness sideways. Twist the harness back into position and guide one front leg through at a time.To fit the harness correctly, check <a href="https://www.nonstopdogwear.com/en/magazine/dog-harness-sizing-guide/" target="_blank" spellcheck="false" style=" text-decoration: underline;">this&#xA0;guide</a>.When taking the harness off, start by pulling the harness slightly forwards, then guide one front leg through at a time. Then, twist the harness and slide it over your dog&#x2019;s head. If you find it hard to pass the front legs through the opening, the side straps and/or the hook and loop fastener at your dog&#x2019;s back can be loosened.&#xA0;<iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/988397396?h=c2963b36a9" data-dashlane-frameid="296" data-dashlane-rid="cd3c57f896604013" id="isPasted">&#xA0;</iframe> How do I adjust the Freemotion harness 5.0/Combined harness?&#xA0;<img alt src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/lrg3N7AmNeK7DnR8/hc/VR1W92R5ova6M8yB/2026050512-f340a90a-8a8a-41d1-86ad-a1dcd6affd12-600f1272-f069-49d1-8843-8d5781447c5a.png" width="450" class="fr-fic fr-dii" style="width: 673px; height: 336.5px;">When going through this checklist, your dog should stand up, and the harness should be held in a pulling position. 1 - Neck&#xA0;You should be able to fit two fingers vertically between the top of your dog&#x2019;s neck and the harness for a medium-sized dog (sizes 4-7).
