Claim:
An ultra choke free harness system ( 10 ) for holding a dog remote from its neck, the holding being achieved in a safe, secure, convenient and economical manner, the system comprising, in combination: a harness ( 14 ) in a generally diamond-shaped configuration, the harness having a longitudinal primary center line and a latitudinal transverse center line, the harness having a front point ( 16 ) and a rear point ( 18 ) and a length between the front and rear points when measured on the primary center line, the harness having lateral first and second side points ( 20 ) ( 22 ) and a width between the side points when measured on the transverse center line, the length to width ratio being between 0.35 to 1.00 and 0.45 to 1.00, the harness having in inside ( 24 ) and an outside ( 26 ), the harness being positionable with the inside in contact with a dog wearing the harness, the harness having a front edge ( 28 ) between the side points and including the front point, the harness having a rear edge ( 30 ) between the side points and including the rear point, the harness being fabricated of a polyester mesh fabric; two similarly shaped leg holes ( 34 ), being a first leg hole and a second leg hole, extending through the harness on opposite sides of the primary center line, the latitudinal transverse center line passing through the two leg holes, the leg holes being located closer to the primary center line than to the side points, the leg holes being positionable with the front legs of the dog extending there through; four similar seams ( 38 ) on the inside of the harness, the seams being located between the leg holes interiorly and the front and rear edges exteriorly, the seams extending essentially parallel with and essentially equally spaced from the primary center line; a first patch ( 42 ) and a second patch ( 44 ) of a hook and loop fastener, the first patch being located on the inside between the first leg hole and the first side point, the second patch being located on the outside between the second leg hole and the second side point, the patches being positionable in contact with each other above a back of the dog for thereby constituting a primary closure for the harness; a first webbing ( 48 ) and a second webbing ( 50 ), each webbing having an interior end ( 52 ) with stitching ( 54 ) coupling the interior ends to the outside of the harness between the patches and the leg holes, each webbing having an exterior end ( 56 ) with side release buckles ( 58 ) to couple the exterior ends for thereby constituting a secondary closure for the harness above the primary closure; and a first strap ( 62 ) and a second strap ( 64 ), each strap having an inner end ( 66 ) with X box stitching ( 68 ) coupling the inner ends to the outside of the harness between the patches and the leg holes, each strap having an outer end ( 70 ) with a side D-ring ( 72 ) for attachment to a leash.
