sledding, to develop its strength and endurance. Today you can find
harnesses for all dog breeds starting with Chihuahua to Great Dane.
Dog harnesses are made of various materials: a casual cloth, lace,
nylon, tarpaulin, velour, leather, and leatherette.
It is very comfortable to use a
harness
that doesn't allow to pull if your Mastiff's behaviour is
restless while walking. If such harness is fitted properly, even a
child will be able to handle with a big dog. Meanwhile, an
ordinary
walking harness will not be suitable for walks with a
disquieted, aggressive dog.
Â
Choosing a dog harness is not an easy task as a good one must
embrace tightly the animal's body and not to sag. Otherwise the
efficiency of a harness will considerably decrease, and the dog will
feel discomfort.
You should also pay attention to the correspondence between the
weight of a harness and your Mastiff's strength. Don't try to save
on cheap models as they are usually made of low quality materials,
serve not long, and being worn can injure your dog. Take into
consideration your dog's size and strength, and the durability of
the harness you buy.
The producers of dog training equipment have recently started to
furnish some harness models with special
reflective
patches that will make your Mastiff dog
more noticeable for drivers and
for yourself in the evening city.
You should remember that frequent
use of a harness is not recommended. This is due to the fact that
after a long period of wearing a harness the dog doesn't feel at
ease wearing a collar and a lead because of center of gravity
displacement.
To choose properly the material and the shape of a harness, first
you should determine what purposes it will be used for. If you
choose
a harness for working dogs,
pay attention to leather
harnesses
with side straps. Check all the metal fittings and straps
stitching.
If you need a
sport harness
by means of which your Mastiff will be harnessed in sleds or
will make skijoring, in this case
nylon
harness will be the most suitable. These harnesses don't have
metal parts, their parts are sewn thoroughly, and have minimum
weight. The peculiarity of such harnesses is that they are equipped
with a rope for fastening. Sometimes they are also furnished with
additional fastening elements, for a team harness work, for example.
There are
harnesses
for muscle-strengthening exercises and for participating in
dog sport competitions. They are meant to be used not for a long
time but rather frequently. You should pay a special attention to
their durability. There also exist dog harnesses with extra weights.
Such harnesses allow to develop gradually the dog's endurance, and
help in rehabilitation after fractures. These extra weights are
usually removable that allows to choose the proper one.
Dog harnesses are especially indispensable for dogs with large
necks, this is the case of Mastiff breeds or several Great Dane
breeds. Using
a harness is more
preferable than a collar for these dog breeds. It is easier
to breathe for these dogs, the neck and larynx remain safe. Such
harnesses are usually made of light materials. It can be nylon, or
full grain leather
studded
or
spiked.
Such harnesses for massive dogs are often sold together with a lead
of similar colors.
Separately, there are dog harnesses having a specific construction
that allows to lift the dog off the ground. These harnesses are used
for the dogs that due to some peculiarities (trauma, age, medical
procedures) can hardly move or can't move by themselves at all.
So, the main criteria for choosing a dog harness must be: purpose of
use, dog's size and figure, practicalness. Price must be ranged
among the last priorities as a cheap harness can cause not only
outward damage but also more considerable injure for your pet.
