The Which, The Why and the How to Puppingtons Harness Guide
Which Puppingtons Harnesses would we recommend ?? For a Border Collie shaped dog that pulls Our Puppingtons Leonardo harness is my favourite harness for dogs that pull and the one I initially use for my own dogs while training them to walk nicely before transitioning to the Benjamin harness. Its easy to put on, has comfortable neoprene padding and has the option of having the lead attached to the front or back (or both at the same time). The harness has been designed to stop the front of the harness dropping down too low avoiding any movement restriction. For Staffy types (or big chested dog) Our Puppingtons Barney harness is our original harness design and is very popular with rescue organisations and shelters because it is so easy to put on and take off and fits the majority of dog body shapes. It is more adjustable on the front than the Leonardo so is better for bigger chested dogs. Similar to the Leonardo it has front and back connection points allowing you to use a double ended lead for extra control. These harnesses are designed to fit high on the body to lesson any movement restriction. Both the Barney and the Leonardo harnesses are designed to be used for walking and not running or playing. For Head Shy Dogs Our Puppingtons Rosie Harness is very similar to the Barney harness but has clips on the dogs back as well as the side allowing the harness to be fitted without it going over the dogs head. For running, hiking or just connecting to the back Our newest harness design is our Puppingtons Benjamin harness, unlike the Barney and Leonardo it is a Y front shaped harness which is regarded by many to be the least restricting kind of dog harness. Because of this our Benjamin harness is the clear winner for hiking, running or when you want to just connect to the back. This harness does have a connection point at the front but it should only be used for small amounts of time due to the harness potentially slipping. Using a double ended lead can help but (in my opinion) Y front harnesses do not work as well attached to the front as the Barney and Leonardo harness designs. The Benjamin harness has been designed to fit the majority of body types, is highly adjustable and fits further back on the body away from the front legs. It is a comfortable harness suitable for everyday walks, running, play or dog sports like tracking or scent work.
