A properly adjusted harness should feel secure and comfortable while allowing your dog to move freely.

1. Adjust the neck strap

Loosen the neck strap so the harness sits slightly further back on your dog.

The front buckle should not be touching or sitting directly against your dog’s neck.

📷 See the photo below for the correct position.

2. Adjust the belly strap

Adjust the straps so the harness sits comfortably and securely around your dog.

You should be able to fit two fingers between the harness and your dog.

3. Check the chest fit

Make sure the harness isn't too loose around the chest.

If the harness is moving around or slipping, try tightening the adjustment straps.

4. Do a final check

Before your walk, make sure:

• The harness is sitting correctly.
• The neck strap isn't too tight.
• The front buckle isn't touching your dog's front legs.
• You can fit two fingers comfortably between the harness and your dog.
• The harness feels secure without restricting movement.

🐕 Is Your Dog Pulling on the Leash?

If you're having trouble with pulling, you can also try our two-leash training technique using the DFCO Bungee Leash.

Two-Leash Training

You'll need:

• Your DFCO Bungee Leash
• Another leash

How it works:

1. Attach one leash to the back D-ring.
2. Attach the second leash to the No-Pull Front D-ring.
3. Walk your dog using both leashes.
4. Practice this consistently for a few days.
5. As your dog becomes more comfortable and responds better to the training, you can eventually let go of the leash attached to the back D-ring.

The process is simple, but consistency is key. With regular practice, you should start to notice a positive change in your dog's walking behaviour. 😊

Still having trouble?

If your harness is properly adjusted but is still slipping, rubbing, or not fitting correctly, you can submit a Sizing & Fit Help Request and our team will take a closer look.

The original dog harness comes standard with a D-Ring on the back for leash attachment. However, the front no-pull D-Ring harness attachment is available as an option with the Walk Essential Pack. If you are interested in the front D-Ring feature, this must be purchased separately as an add-on during the checkout process.

To attach the paw pads, ensure that your dog's paws are clean. Carefully remove the sticker cover from the paw pads and gently adhere them to your dog's paws, pressing firmly to secure them.

Our name patches are always sold in pairs, providing you with two patches per purchase.

Yes, you can order different sizes for the collar and harness in a bundle. After placing your order, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible with your order details, and we will assist in updating the sizes accordingly.
