Dog Harness FAQs
What is the best dog harness in Canada?
One of the most popular harnesses in Canada is the Ruffwear Front Range Harness. It is ideal for everything from casual walks and car rides to vigorous hikes or running with dogs or other adventures.
Do dogs prefer collars or harnesses?
Most dogs can easily adapt to wearing either a harness, collar, or both. Collars are better for all-day wear, and harnesses are better for outdoor activities. Most pet owners use training collars for obedience, but you can also opt for a training harness.
Is it OK for dogs to wear a harness all day?
Dog harnesses should only be used when walking or participating in other leashed activities. Never leave your dog unattended with a harness on to prevent injury.
What to look for when buying a dog harness?
Consider the size, fit, and function when choosing the right dog harness. If your pup pulls, pick a no-pull dog harness, and if your doggo needs a little more help, opt for a dog harness with a handle.
When should you use a dog harness?
Your dog harness should be put on just before you leave and taken off as soon as you get home. The best dog harness Canada brands fit comfortably.
Can a dog wear a collar and a harness at the same time?
Harnesses are a great tool for walking your dog, but collars still serve an important purpose - holding your dog's ID.

When choosing a harness for dogs, you must first decide how you will use it. If you are an adventurous dog family, a performance dog harness will suit your active lifestyle. These versatile and durable dog harnesses have plenty of bells and whistles to ensure your dog's comfort and safety on the trails.
If you own a dog suffering from heat, such as a brachycephalic breed (e.g. Pug, Bulldog, Boxer), you might want to invest in a cooling vest that doubles as a dog harness with a leash attachment point.
Dog harnesses for daily walks can be more useful if they feature a D ring for ID tags and a leash attachment. A step-in harness is designed to be easy to use, lightweight, and perfect for daily walks with your best friend. This style of dog harness offers a larger variety of sizing and fashion to suit your dog's shape and personality best.

Dog Harnesses Sizes
Make sure to pick a harness that suits your dog's size and shape. A large dog harness will need to be heavier and more supportive to be able to control the weight and power of a large breed dog. A harness for large dogs often has additional features to help keep you in control of your giant pooch like a handle that will allow you to quickly grab onto your dog and keep him safe and close.
Small dogs can benefit from a dog harness, too. They may not weigh much, but that doesn't mean an improperly used collar can't injure them. A small dog harness Canada won't require quite as much support as a dog harness for a bigger breed, but you should choose a training dog harness that provides both comfort and safety for a petite pooch.
To measure for the best dog harness, use a flexible measuring tape and measure around your dog's chest, just behind their front legs. Make sure to add a few inches for comfort and to promote a full range of movement. This measurement will help you find the right size harness for your furry friend. When measuring for a dog harness, there is no need to measure the front legs or the dog’s neck (as you do when fitting a collar).
A dog harness is designed to fit a variety of body shapes. The harness is secured around the dog's body, distributing the pressure evenly, which allows for a comfortable and secure fit regardless of the dog's shape or size. This adaptability makes the dog harness a versatile and effective option for dogs with different body types and chest sizes.
No matter where your doggy adventures take you, a dog walking harness will help to keep your pet secure and safe and give you better control. Shop all dog harnesses Canada from top brands like Ruffwear, Hurtta, RC Pets, Woof Concept, and many more.
