The harness should fit securely around the chest of the dog. Tighten the harness by pushing the webbing up through the metal slide bar then pulling it down through the other side of the slide bar. The harness should be tightened to allow for 2 fingers to fit under each strap.<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-id=\"271118\">Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/what-is-the-most-effective-no-pull-dog-harness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is the most effective no-pull dog harness?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-should-a-no-pull-dog-harness-fit\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_should_a_no-pull_dog_harness_fit\"><\/span>How should a no-pull dog harness fit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In general, a dog harness should fit snug, but not too tight. It should be tight enough that your dog can\u2019t back out of it, and the ring (that you clip the leash to) should sit higher on their chest. Just like with a collar, you should be able to fit two fingers (but only two!) between the harness and your dog.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bf1yccZoQVQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-makes-a-dog-harness-no-pull\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_makes_a_dog_harness_No-pull\"><\/span>What makes a dog harness No-pull?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How Do Non Pull Harnesses Work? Having a front clip means that a non pull harness takes the advantage away from your dog and discourages them from trying to pull on the lead.

These harnesses restrict proper shoulder movement, and by doing so limit the amount of pulling, but also negatively affect their normal gait patterns.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-should-i-look-for-in-a-no-pull-harness\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_I_look_for_in_a_no-pull_harness\"><\/span>What should I look for in a no-pull harness?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Features to Look for in a No-Pull Dog Harness<\/p>\n<p>A front clip and back ring.
