Many wonder if a dog harness is good for their pup. Just remember, to choose the right size harness for your dog. The three most important measurements are chest, neck, and weight. Chest - Measure around your dog’s body with a soft tape measure or piece of string. Be sure to start at the bottom of the rib cage, then guide the tape or string over your dog’s back and finally meet the ends back where you started. Neck - It is important to measure around the thickest part of your dog’s neck, right on top of his shoulders. Weight - Many harnesses will use your dog’s weight in the sizing chart. While you are at the vet for your dog’s checkup ask them to provide you with their weight. Benefits Of Dog Harnesses Dog harnesses can be an effective training tool for puppies.
