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.
Secure & Sturdy – Perfect for Zoomies!
Mitzy feels very secure in it. She is not a dog that pulls too much but she loves to stop suddenly and do zoomies at the beach so I’m always a bit worried I’ll lose the old girl! I also don’t take her off lead being a greyhound with not the best recall so I have been looking for a harness that can allow her to stay on lead and still run and play freely. It feels secure and sturdy and I’m so glad I found Top Dog Harness!
Easy to adjust
The girth sits so nicely behind the forelimbs – no rubbing in the underarms at all. The front sits down in the centre of the chest and off the throat. The shoulder straps don’t interfere with the upper legs at all. It is easy to adjust. The webbing is smooth and yet once secured will not slip. Just perfect 😍
