Labrador

When walking your labrador, both collars and harnesses have their place, but generally, a harness is the safer and more secure choice for your pup. Since Labradors are strong, energetic dogs, a well-fitted harness gives you better control without putting pressure on their neck.

You might find it handy to switch between a harness and collar depending on the activity. For longer walks or meeting other dogs, especially for larger Labradors, a harness is recommended when you’re leaving the house. When you’re home, a collar is plenty if your lab is well-trained, if you need something for ID purposes, or if you need to act fast and put a lead on your dog.

Whichever you choose, make sure you choose the right size to make sure your dog is comfortable and safe.

The best harness for your Labrador is one that’s strong, adjustable, and built to withstand daily use. Labradors are strong dogs and can be quite large, so it’s important to choose a harness that gives you control without compromising on comfort or durability.

What to look for in a Labrador harness.

• Fully adjustable: Get a secure fit unique to your pup that keeps them comfortable, even on long walks.
• No-pull designs: No-pull harnesses spread pressure across the chest to reduce tugging without risking neck injury.
• Strong material and construction: All our harnesses use military-grade materials, designed to handle strong, active breeds like Labradors.

To make sure your Labrador’s harness is as effective and comfortable as possible, make sure you pick the right size for your pup.

To stop your Labrador from pulling, you’ll need to combine consistent training with the right gear, like a no-pull harness. Labradors are a strong and enthusiastic breed, so giving them structure and control on walks makes a huge difference if they’re prone to pulling.

Why use a no-pull harness for your Labrador?

• Redirects pulling: No-pull designs guide your Lab from the chest, making it easier to steer and correct.
• Protects their neck: Unlike collars, harnesses prevent choking or strain from sudden lunges or leash tension.
• Supports training: Using a harness on walks reinforces good habits, giving you better control with less effort.

For the most effective harness, make sure you’re putting them in the right size. If you’re unsure which to choose, check out our dog harness size chart to find the right fit for your Labrador.

Most adult Labradors fit best in a medium or large harness, but exact sizing will depend on your dog’s weight and chest measurements. Getting a properly fitted harness is vital for your pup’s comfort, your control, and both of your safety - especially for strong breeds like Labs.

Why getting the right size harness matters.

• Better control: A snug fit helps prevent pulling and keeps the harness secure during walks.
• Comfort-first design: Avoids rubbing, slipping, or pressure points – even on active dogs.
• Safer fit: The right size reduces the risk of escape or injury, especially in excited or young Labs.

To find the perfect-fitting harness for your Labrador, you’ll need to take their neck and chest measurements. You can use our handy dog harness size chart for reference - it’ll tell you exactly which measurements to take and which size is right for your pup.
