Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

 | Subject: Need help with harness. Sat May 06, 2023 9:51 pm | |
| I have been through two harnesses now that both seem to have issues.
First this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082FNZJH2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Which actually fits OKAY. The issue is you have to put her head through the hole, and pull her head out of the hole, and she really hates all her neck fur having to be pulled out of the harness. She's started to protest it rather bad.
I've also found when she wears that one, she shakes a lot more, like when she shakes all the water off her. I don't think she likes the bigger panels of fabric it has pressing on her for whatever reason.
So then I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FTHYDYB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
Thinking, its lighter weight, no fabric panels, her head doesn't have to go through any hole.
At first this one seemed not too bad, got her into okay. But I think it hurts her. To keep it from like bunching up on one side you have to tighten it so much that it worries. So, either it's like to loose flopping around her in weird ways that don't look uncomfortable, or it's too tight. I think this one was designed for shorter hair dogs.
Also getting her to step her feets into it and hold still is turning into quite the process.
So what's a good harness that doesn't require their head to go through a hole, or them to like step into it, and can fit well on a floofy husky? |

| that looks real similiar to the second one I got https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FTHYDYB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
Looking at this pic of the other color. https://images.app.goo.gl/CsyvGvmXdrshCmH2A the understrap goes right through their armpit, and the over strap doesn't go fully in front of their shoulder, which might be fine when walking, but when running it means the pressure from the straps is applied in odd positions |

| So the design on that second one is very easy to slip out of and it can interfere with the natural motion of the dog's shoulders. I would not recommend using anything with that sort of single-point top loading hammock design. The first ruffwear style of harness allows for a wider shoulder opening which is better for movement and comfort. There are harnesses similar to your first ruffwear harness that have dual clips. They can be a pain to put on but they do allow you to avoid sliding something over the dog's head. My youngest dog doesn't like having things slipped over his head either, but I mostly just make him get over it when he's in harness. Slipping it over his head is better than me fighting with his hair constantly getting closed in the clip and me trying to pull it out. https://www.amazon.com/Balance-Harness-Buckle-Neck-Medium/dp/B01LVZVTP3/ref=psdc_2619534011_t5_B00164ZWBG We have an older thread with links to biomechanics information and choosing a harness that doesn't harm the movements of your dog. https://www.itsahuskything.com/t17798-canine-biomechanics-and-harness-choice#259982_________________  |
