It’s safe to say that the dog harness has become a basic equipment of dog ownership in recent decades.

In the last decade, when buying a dog harness, the first question asked by a well-prepared salesman was not what size or colour of dog harness we wanted. The crucial question is: what activity we wanted to buy it for.

Today, it’s only natural to take our dogs for a quick pee in the park, but they have become an indispensable companion in many leisure activities. Accordingly, each type or design of dog harness is best suited to a particular activity, just as with the shoes we buy for ourselves with a similar awareness.

Universal dog harnesses are the result of compromises made to meet today’s needs. Professional dog harness manufacturers assist dog owners in selecting the most appropriate harness for each activity.

A dog harness designed for running sports, for example, can be an unnecessarily long piece of equipment for city walks, making it difficult to lead your dog safely.

Designed for long walks, with a new dimension of freedom of movement and flexible tracking of every movement, dog harnesses can also be redundant on short daily walks, where quick fitting, a striking, visible appearance in the dark, and a saddle and handle design which helps grip the dog in an emergency are important.
