What is the Best Dog Harness as recommended by Dog Trainers?
If you’re reading online dog harness reviews, seeking to find the best dog harness available, your quest needs to begin in Norway in 1948, with a stop over in Italy in 2004, before finally landing in Australia in the present day.
Why does the name Turid Rugaas sound familar?
Did you know that in 2017 Turid Rugaas was awarded the Norwegian King’s Badge of Honour, by His Majesty Harald VI, for her 40+ years of contributions in the field of canine behaviour? Wow!! It’s no wonder that international dog trainer, author and lecturer Turid Rugaas is widely regarded as THE authority on gentle dog training techniques.
A dog owner since 1948, dog training since 1969 and dog school owner since 1984. She set up her dog school ‘Hagan Hundeskole’ on her farm overlooking the fjords of Norway. She started educating other dog trainers and giving seminars in 1992. Since then she has conducted workshops in 12 different countries with students from 24 countries.
Although now retired from hands-on dog training she continues to conduct seminars and workshops internationally. She has published several books and DVDs including the popular best seller ‘On Talking Terms with Dogs’ and ‘My Dog Pulls. What Do I Do?’ This is all amazing I hear you say, but get to the point: Does she recommend collar or harness? And if she recommends a harness, which one?
Well no surprises really. International dog trainer Turid Rugaas recommends that dogs walk on a Y Shaped Harness together with a long lead so that they can feel comfortable, relaxed and have the freedom to express their true nature. And which dog harness does this experienced dog trainer recommend: Haqihana of course!
In this short video Turid Rugaas discusses the benefits of walking your dog on a harness and she provides a review of the Haqihana Harness and explains it’s benefits compared to others on the market.
Will a Dog Harness make my Dog Pull?
Turid explains in the video that it is a common misconception that as soon as a dog wears a harness that they will start to pull. To the contrary, when you put a well designed harness, such as a Haqihana Harness, on the dog that in most cases they stop pulling because they feel more comfortable and relaxed.
Gentle Dog Trainers such as Turid Rugaas recommend a Y shaped dog harness and a long dog lead so that the dog can feel comfortable, relaxed and have the freedom to safely express their true nature. The Haqihana Leash has carabiners at both ends, enabling it to be doubled over, halving it’s length, for those times you need to keep your dog closer to you for safety.
The Haqihana Harness and Leash is truly a match made in doggy heaven.
Comfortable, Strong & Soft
They’ve worn the Haqihana harnesses to the beach and in the water. We’ve visited shoe stores for runners, trails in the mountains, and walked through the local vineyards. The harness is very comfortable, strong, and soft. It has not rubbed them at all, and they are even comfy enough in them to fall asleep at the local pub!
Freed Sonic up for Zoomies!
We love the harness and it has freed Sonic the Italian Greyhound up wonderfully. Sonic can now live up to his name!
