Dog Harnesses: The Most Frequently Asked Questions Answered

Choosing the right dog harness is important for your dog's comfort and safety. We often get questions from owners who want to know which harness is best, what the difference is between types of harnesses, and why you should actually choose a harness over a collar. Below you will find clear answers to the most frequently asked questions.

✅ What are the best dog harnesses?

The best dog harnesses are comfortable, safe and fit your dog's body and behavior well. A good harness:

• Distributes pressure across the chest instead of the neck,
• Is adjustable at multiple points,
• And does not chafe in the armpits or on the back.

For example, check out our popular All Eyez On Me step-in harness or our Y-harnesses for active dogs.

🦴 Why is a Y-harness better?

A Y-harness has a Y-shape at the front of the chest and allows the shoulders to move freely. This makes it:

• Very comfortable for dogs with an active build,
• Safe because it does not press on the trachea,
• And suitable for dogs that pull quickly.

Check out our Y-harnesses for an ergonomic fit.

🐕 Why is a harness better than a collar?

A harness is safer than a collar because it:

• Does not put pressure on the neck or trachea,
• Safer is with dogs that pull or suddenly lunge,
• Less risk of injury or stress.

Small breeds or dogs with a short snout in particular benefit from a well-fitting harness.

💪 Which harness for a dog that pulls?

For dogs that pull, we recommend a sturdy Y-harness. A well-adjusted step-in harness with wide straps also helps distribute the force better.
