Your large dog shouldn’t wear their harness all the time. While they’re great for walks and runs out in the world, harnesses can cause chafing and restrict their movement if worn for long periods at home. You should take it off them during naps and overnight, so your pup can fully relax and get ready for your next adventure.

Why you should give your dog breaks from their harness

• Long-term wear can irritate your dog’s skin
• When lounging, a harness can restrict your dog’s movement so they can’t fully relax
• The straps of a harness can trap moisture, so your dog can’t fully dry out 
• Permanent wear could lead to faster deterioration of the harness

A no-pull harness is a great way to discourage your dog from pulling. Unlike traditional harnesses, the lead attaches on your dog’s chest, so their body is moved towards you when they pull, giving you more control over them.

Benefits of a no-pull harness:

• Distributes pressure evenly across your dog’s chest, preventing injury
• Helps your dog understand that pulling isn’t an easy way to go forwards
• Gives you more control over strong pullers or large breeds

For the best results, make sure the harness you choose fits your dog well. Use our dog harness size charts if you’re unsure.

For large breed dogs, a harness is usually the better choice when it comes to training. With their size and strength, collars can put too much pressure on their neck. If your dog was to suddenly pull, it can cause discomfort or even injury.

A well-fitted harness gives you more control and spreads the force evenly across their body, making training safer and more effective for both of you.

Large breed dogs often need a little extra support and structure while they learn. A high-quality harness designed for their size can help you train with confidence whilst keeping your (big) pup safe, comfortable, and focused along the way.
