A harness is effective because the dog will not choke or gag when going for a walk.

A dog harness is effective in preventing damage to a dog's delicate neck area, and trachea which can easily occur if a dog pulls on the lead whilst wearing a standard dog collar. A dog harness sits on the dog's shoulders, not around the neck and the load is evenly distributed on the dog's chest if the dog pulls, so no choking or damage to the dog. Different types of dog harnesses are effective in curing/preventing certain activities, such as anti-pull harnesses which are designed to be used in conjunction with training, to stop a dog pulling.

What makes the halti dog harness effective?

Halti manufacturers claim the Halti dog harness has a 'unique patented front attachment system that controls the dog from his chest and shoulders; an effective point of control'. However the Premier Easy Walk also has a front control. The dog lead is attached to either of these dog harnesses and they both work on the principal that if your dog pulls, they will turn in towards the walker, which dogs don't like! Both of these dog harnesses are anti-pull (designed to help you train your dog not to pull).

How do you put a dog harness on a dog?

It would depend on what type of dog harness it is. If it is a fixed harness with two round circles connected by a single strap along the back, this would go on over the dog's head. More usual these days are step-in harnesses for dogs, whereby you would lift the dog's front paw and gently put the leg through one arm hole and reach behind the other leg and bring the second shoulder strap up, so the central chest area was covered by the middle chest strap and simply connect the parachute clips so that the harness is secure, not too tight, not too loose. Some dogs can be trained to step in the dog harness by simply laying it on the floor.
