FIT INSTUCTIONAL VIDEO AND STEPS

The correct fit is essential for optimal performance. Watch the video or follow the simple steps below to properly fit the harness. Some dogs may need time to acclimate to the new sound and feeling. Taking time to introduce the new harness will help your dog feel comfortable.

THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN FIRST INTRODUCING YOUR DOG TO THE FREERUN HARNESS:

  • Use high value treats to reward your dog throughout the process.
  • Give your dog time to smell and investigate the new harness before putting it on for the first time.
  • Let your dog hear the sound of the leash extending and retracting before putting it on.
  • Reward them for their interest as they get accustomed to the sound.

STEPS FOR A PROPER FIT

Make an educated guess on the initial strap adjustment. The harness should be snug when fitted properly. You should be able to fit two flat fingers between the straps and the dog’s body. We recommend taking the harness off to make strap adjustments.

Release both buckles on the left side, guide the right front leg through, and bring the harness up over the dog's back. Click the buckles in place.

Once you’ve achieved a good fit, trim excess strap length, melt ends to prevent fraying and tuck the remaining straps into pockets.

Cut excess strap length off after final fitting.

Melt ends to prevent cut edges from fraying.

Tuck remaining straps into pockets.
