Dog Harness Gifts

A harness spreads the pull across a dog's chest instead of their neck, so walks are easier for both of you.

A dog harness suits the owner of a dog who pulls, a small dog with a delicate neck, or a dog who goes on long walks. Measure the chest first. Then choose the style: a front-clip or no-pull harness for a puller, and reflective trim for evening walks.

  • Halti Dog Front Control Harness in Black, Large (opens in a new tab)

    $53

    The Halti Front Control Harness was designed by Dr Roger Mugford to assist in stopping your dog from pulling by providing front control. It applies the same principle as the Halti Headcollar but instead steers your dog from its chest rather than by its head. The Halti Front Control Harness helps to put pet owners in control of their dogs that dont like or cannot wear a Halti Headcollar. The patented front control system steers the dog from his chest and shoulders - and thus sets the direction in which he can move. Unlike other designs of anti-pull harnesses, the Halti Front Control Harness does not put painful pressure on the body and is always comfortable. Ideally used with a double-ended lead to give maximum control. The back ring above the shoulders acts as a brake while the front lead steers. Features & Benefits * Front control - Stops pulling by controlling your dog from the chest and shoulders * Safety clip - Additional safety clip that connects to your dog's collar * Maximises steering - Back and chest ring loops provide dual steering control points * Strong & secure - High quality nylon webbing for strength & durabilitySize GuideSmall: 36cm - 64cm (chest) Suitable for breeds like: Jack Russell, Corgi, TerrierMedium: 58cm - 86cm (chest) Suitable for breeds like: Labrador, Retriever, Border CollieLarge: 80cm - 120cm (chest) Suitable for breeds like: Great Dane, Mastiff, Rottweiler Halti Dog Front Control Harness in Black, Large

Who a dog harness suits

A dog harness suits the owner of a dog who pulls on the lead, a small dog with a delicate neck, or a dog who goes on long walks and runs. It is a practical gift for a new puppy owner, and one that gets used every day.

A harness spreads the pull across the dog's chest, not their neck. The ones here include no-pull and front-control styles, mesh harnesses, reflective harnesses and harnesses with a handle.

What to look for in a dog harness

  • Fit. Measure the dog's chest, and check the sizing on the listing. A harness that fits well sits snugly without rubbing.
  • Pulling. A front-clip or no-pull harness helps with a dog who pulls. A back-clip harness suits a dog who walks nicely.
  • Reflective trim. Reflective strips help the dog be seen on an evening walk.
  • Handle. A top handle helps the owner steady a dog on steps, stairs or a car ride.
  • Padding and mesh. Padding is comfortable for a dog who walks a lot, and mesh is cooler in the heat. Check the listing for what the harness is made of.

When a dog harness is the wrong gift

It is hard to choose without the dog's measurements, so ask the owner for their dog's chest size, or choose a different gift. A dog may also already have a harness they like. And a harness is not a training fix for a dog who needs help from a trainer.

Frequently asked questions

What is a no-pull dog harness?

It is a harness that clips at the chest, so when the dog pulls forward it turns them sideways instead of letting them charge ahead. It helps with walking manners, but it works well alongside some training.

How do I measure a dog for a harness?

Measure around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs, and compare it with the listing's size chart. A harness should sit snugly without rubbing, with room for two fingers underneath.

Is a harness better than a collar?

For many dogs, yes, because it spreads the pull across the chest and not the neck. A dog still wears a collar for their tag. Ask the owner which they prefer if you can.
