Harness Information

Neck Design—The padded neck fits snugly around the dogs shoulders, distributing the force evenly. The basic design is hundreds of years old, but improved by modern materials. Harness neck size must fit correctly. Too large, and the harness will slip, rub, or interfere with movement; too small, and it will cut, bruise, or choke.  This design is referred to as a “Siwash Neck”.

Harness Care

Do not store where continually wet. Try to prevent freezing. Do not dry over a fire or stove; they will shrink up to 10% or more. Wash in lukewarm or cold water and hang to drip dry. DO NOT USE A CLOTHES DRYER!
