We also have more detailed instructions for all the tableware mentioned in the text, which you can find on our website.

Dog's Fun Run Standard Dog Harness

Tighten and check the harness

First, put the harness the dog.

Tip: harness taking harness off, turn it inside out and gently slide it over the dog’s ears. This makes it more comfortable for the dog. 

Image

Please note the following:

1.
Neck size: The underside of the neck strap must rest on the sternum or extend no more than 1 cm beyond it.

2. Sternum length: Pay attention to the chest strap of the harness. It should reach the end of the sternum, leaving 3–4 ribs behind the strap.

3. Back length/angle: The back section must be long enough so that both chest straps run diagonally upward and backward, ensuring that the pulling force is optimally harness across the harness .

 Adjusting the waist belt

1. When the harness is adjusted harness , it should fit loosely—there should be enough room for two fingers on each side under the waist straps.
To adjust the waist straps, slide the outer strap through the slider.

2. Once the correct length is set, check to make sure both waist straps are the same length. If they are not, adjust them accordingly.

3. The slider should be pushed upward toward the buckle to avoid pressure points on the ribs. 

4. To properly stow the excess strap, first pull it through the loops, then fold it once or twice and pull the loop over the strap.

As a general rule, it is better to adjust the harness too loose than too tight.

Dog's Fun Run Support Dog Harness

Tip: harness taking harness off, turn it inside out and gently slide it over the dog’s ears. This makes it more comfortable for the dog. 

Image

Please note the following:

1. Neck size: The underside of the neck strap must rest on the sternum or extend no more than 1 cm beyond it.

2. Sternum length: This refers to the first strap of the harness. It should reach the end of the sternum, leaving 3–4 ribs behind the strap. The second strap thus extends further back to provide more support.

3. Back panel length/angle: The back panel must be long enough so that both belly straps run diagonally upward and backward, ensuring that the pulling force is optimally harness across the harness .

 Adjusting the waist belt

1. When the harness is adjusted harness , it should fit loosely. For the first waist strap, there should be enough room for two fingers on each side under the strap. For the second waist strap, there should be enough room for three fingers on each side. To adjust the waist straps, slide the outer strap through the adjuster.

2. After the correct length has been set, check to see if the waist straps are the same length.

The harness two front and two rear waist straps, each of which is adjusted separately.
Therefore, first compare the two front straps with each other, and then the two rear straps. If the lengths within each pair are not equal, they should be readjusted accordingly.

3. The slider should be pushed upward toward the buckle to avoid pressure points on the ribs. 

4. To properly stow the excess strap, first pull it through the loops, then fold it once or twice and pull the loop over the strap.

As a general rule, it is better to adjust the harness too loose than too tight.

2. Sternum length: The lower part of the harness should extend to the end of the sternum, leaving 3–4 ribs behind the strap.

3. Back length/angle: The back section must be long enough so that the belly straps run diagonally upward and backward, ensuring that the pulling force is optimally harness across the harness .

Adjusting the waist belt

1. When the harness is adjusted harness , it should fit loosely—there should be enough room for two fingers on each side under the waist straps (on the sides). To adjust the waist straps, slide the outer strap through the slider.

2. Once the correct length is set, check to ensure that both waist straps are the same length. If this is not the case, adjust them accordingly.

3. The slider should be pushed upward toward the buckle to prevent pressure points on the ribs. 

4. To properly stow the excess strap, first pull it through the loops, then fold it once or twice and pull the loop over the strap.

As a general rule, it is better to adjust the harness too loose than too tight.

Adjusting the neck and chest straps

Neck straps:
First, locate the dog’s sternum—this is the bone that protrudes slightly at the base of the neck.

When the dog is standing, the harness cover the sternum or extend no more than 1 cm above it.

To adjust the neck straps, you must undo step two of the fastening (see instructions below). Now you can move the slider. Once it is correctly adjusted, you must refasten the strap (repeat step two).

Image


To properly store the excess length of the neck strap, you can tuck it into the elastic loop provided

Image


Chest straps:

The chest straps should be long enough so that the harness end harness the sternum, or so that you can still feel 3–4 ribs behind the belly strap.
You can locate the end of the sternum by running your finger along it until it becomes soft.

Image

To properly tuck away the excess length of the chest strap, first thread it through the loops, then fold it once or twice and pull the loop over the strap.
