Gentle Leader Easy Walk Harness - How To Fit
Fitting Instructions
IMPORTANT: Please read and understand all instructions before using the harness on your dog!
Identifying the parts:
The chest piece has a martingale loop with a “D” ring for attaching the leash.
The shoulder strap is made of the same color nylon as the chest strap and has the Premier fabric tag.
The belly strap is made of a complementary color.
Fitting the harness:
Open the quick snap buckle on the belly strap.
Place the shoulder strap over the dog’s head with the chest strap resting on the dog’s chest.
Tighten belly strap to a comfortably snug fit. On medium-sized dogs, only allow room for about a finger’s width under the strap. Allow a bit more for larger dogs, less for smaller dogs.
Gently press fingers on the lower part of the front of the dog’s chest to locate the breastbone.
Adjust the shoulder strap so that when the chest strap is horizontal (parallel to the ground), the chest strap rests directly over the breast bone.
AFTER
you have tightened both the shoulder and belly straps to allow only about a finger’s width under the belly strap, adjust the chest strap to fit securely. It should rest nearly parallel to the ground, not “hang down” or gap.
You may need to remove the harness to make these adjustments.
When the shoulder strap is fitted correctly, the chest strap should resemble a horizontal line (parallel to the ground), and it will rest directly over the breastbone.
Attach the leash to the D-ring on the chest strap.
