The best type of harness for a dog is typically a Y-shaped harness. This design allows for greater freedom of movement in the dog's shoulders and chest, making it more comfortable, especially for active dogs. It distributes pressure evenly across the dog's body, reducing strain on the neck and minimizing the risk of injury. Additionally, Y-shaped harnesses are effective at discouraging pulling, as they help redirect the dog’s attention and movement. Overall, they provide both comfort and safety for walks and outdoor activities. Our harnesses also fits well for deep-chested dogs (e.g., Golden Retrievers), as there is an adjustment option under the chest!
