As dog owners, we want to ensure our dogs are comfortable, safe, and secure while on walks. However, one issue that many pet owners encounter is their dog harness rotating to the side - even when it is adjusted and fitted correctly. This may seem a minor annoyance, but it can cause discomfort, restrict sh oulder movement, and chafe the legs.

Not all Y-harnesses are created equal

There is such a strong pushback about using collars or harnesses going across the shoulders, while no one seems to talk about the risks of using a poorly fitted/sized Y-harness. Many seem to think that any Y-harness is safe for their dog, which is not true. The unpopular truth is that a poorly fitting Y (or H) harness can cause the same health problems or injuries as a dog pulling in a collar or while wearing a cross-shoulder harness.

What is dog fitness?

Canine conditioning can play a huge role in keeping dogs healthy but is especially important for working or sport dogs to reduce the risk of injuries and enhance their performance. Appropriate exercises can be started even with young puppies to teach them how to balance and control their bodies while working their brain with low-impact, safe tasks.

What is a dog treadmill? Why would a dog need a treadmill?

Dog treadmills are versatile tools that can be used in a variety of settings. They are used to prepare sport or show dogs for events, vets use them for gait analysis, and they can also be used for rehabilitation after an injury (with the supervision of a physical therapist/vet).
