Using a Step-In Dog Harness

A nylon dog harness is something every dog should have. They are a great tool to use when walking with your pet. Here are 5 steps to correctly use a step-in harness.

Before we start…

Do you have a step-in harness? No? Check out our variety of harness at dogIDs here. Our step-in harness is available in an embroidered style or with a personalized buckle. Don’t forget to measure your pet so you get the perfect harness for your best friend!

Step 1: Place the harness on the ground, so that your pet’s feet are in between the nylon straps.

Step 2: Move the harness up and clip the buckle together.

Step 3: Adjust the tri-glides on the harness so it fits your dog comfortably.

Step 4: Attach your leash to the two rings located above the buckle.

Step 5: Go for a walk!

Now that you know how to correctly put on the step-in dog harness, your walks will be more controlled.

Hello,

According to me harness is the best tool to train your dog without hurting. It’s good for aggressive dogs but make sure your dog wears this harness properly.
