Rush harnessUpdated a month ago

Start by sliding the harness over your dog’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 lock the buckles.


1 - Neck

You should be able to fit at least two fingers vertically between the top of your dog’s neck and the harness for a medium-sized dog (sizes 4-6). A bit less for smaller dogs, and more for bigger dogs. 

Important!

Fingers on top of each other, between your dog’s neck and the harness.


2 - Chest 

For medium-sized dogs, you should be able to fit at least two fingers vertically between your dog’s chest and the harness. Adjust on both sides, as evenly as possible.


3 - Armpits

Make sure there is room for your dog to move freely.

Tip!

If you find it hard to take the harness on/off, twist it sideways when pulling it over your dog’s head.


4 - Ribs

The side straps should lie on your dog’s rib cage, not further back than the last rib bone.


5 – Attachment point

Adjust the leash attachment rope so it starts right above the base of your dog’s tail.

Tip!

This point is most relevant for short-back dogs wearing a large-size harness.
