3. Fitting the Harness
The Easy Walk Harness features a color-coded design to assist with proper orientation. The main strap color (black for this model) goes over the dog's back, and the contrasting belly strap (silver for this model) goes under the chest.
- Fit Shoulder Strap: Place the harness over your dog's head. The strap with the D-ring (leash attachment point) should rest across your dog's chest, not on their throat. The main colored strap should be over their back.
- Fit Belly Strap: Bring the contrasting colored belly strap under your dog's chest, behind their front legs, and buckle it to the corresponding side. Ensure it is snug but allows two fingers to fit comfortably under the strap.
- Adjust Straps for Comfort: Adjust all four straps (two shoulder, two girth) to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. The harness should be snug enough that it does not shift excessively, but not so tight that it restricts movement or causes discomfort. The chest strap should sit low across the breastbone.

When properly fitted, the harness should allow for full range of motion without rubbing or chafing. The front chest strap should remain horizontal.
Operating the Harness
Once the harness is correctly fitted, you are ready to begin walking your dog.
Melampirkan Leash
Attach your leash to the D-ring located on the front chest strap of the harness. This front attachment point is key to the harness's no-pull function.
How the No-Pull Feature Works
When your dog attempts to pull forward, the leash attached to the front D-ring will gently redirect their attention by turning them to the side. This gentle pressure on the chest and shoulder area discourages pulling without causing discomfort to the throat or neck. The patented martingale loop on the chest strap provides a subtle, self-correcting action.

Walking Tips
- Use a standard 4-6 foot leash for optimal control.
- Begin walks in a quiet area to allow your dog to adjust to the harness.
- When your dog pulls, stop walking. Wait for them to relax or turn towards you, then resume walking. This teaches them that pulling stops forward motion.
- Praise and reward your dog for walking calmly by your side.
