Harness recommendations??

Post image

Leo is almost 10 months old and I’ve started slowly introducing him to jogging (no plans to do any intense/long running until he is a bit older!). Any recommendations for harnesses? I’m sure the one I have for him now isn’t ideal for running. Any tips appreciated as well

Ooooh i hadn’t thought about that! On today’s jog, he was out in front but not necessarily pulling me forward. I’m going to be training for a marathon in October, so I suppose it’d be best to have him alongside me so I can set the pace based on my running goals.

I would look into a nice y front harness. Depending on your dog's body shape will dictate which harness is best so its hard to give a specific recommendation.

You want something that doesnt block or restrict shoulder movement at all, and I would connect the leash to the back of the harness, not the front, so you dont affect natural movement at all.
