The Complete Guide to Fitting DOGMA Harness: Comfort, Safety & Perfect Fit

Your dog's comfort and safety are our top priorities. Follow this comprehensive guide to ensure your DOGMA harness provides the perfect fit for every adventure.

Step-by-Step Fitting Instructions

Step 1: Start with the Neck Straps

• Ensure the harness's front ring lies on the sternum (the protruding bone on the chest) and does not press on the soft part of the neck.
• ⚠️ CRITICAL: Ensure left and right straps are identical in size and perfectly symmetrical after adjustment.

Step 2: Adjust the Side Straps

• The straps should be positioned vertically and some distance from the armpits. To achieve this, adjust the strap between the legs and on the back.
• It is also important to check that the harness does not sit too far back and does not press on the stomach.

Step 3: Check the Overall Fit

• The harness mustn't dangle on the dog. It should fit snugly but not tightly.

Step 4: Movement and Comfort Test

• When the dog moves, the harness can shift to one side or the other under the influence of the leash.
• A properly adjusted harness will return to the correct position during movement.
• Most importantly, a properly adjusted harness does not restrict the dog's movement!

⚠️ Common Fitting Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Incorrect Front Strap Positioning: They lie on the dog's shoulders and hinder the free swing of the front legs, restricting movement.

Incorrect positioning of the upper and lower straps: If the rear straps are too close to the armpits, they can cause chafing and discomfort, hindering free movement.

Ensure the harness is securely fastened and properly adjusted to size before each use. By following these instructions, you can be confident that the harness will be comfortable and safe for your dog.

Ready for Your Next Adventure?

With your DOGMA harness properly fitted and maintained, you and your four-legged companion are ready for countless comfortable, safe adventures together.

Remember: A well-fitted harness isn't just about comfort—it's about building trust, ensuring safety, and enhancing the joy of every walk you take together.
