Harnesses

A dog harness can be used for many things. Most are intended as a way to attach a leash without putting pressure on the dog's neck. Some can be used to prevent the dog from pulling on the leash, while others are designed to make pulling easier and more comfortable. A harness can let the world know that a dog has a specific job, or it can be a way to hang onto a dog that slips out of collars. Some harnesses allow people to give older dogs a helping hand.
