For dogs that pull, lunge, forge, or jump on walks, the SENSE-ible Harness offers a way to give directional leash cues through a front attachment. It is designed to support a more manageable walk and help people teach dogs to walk at their side.

How does the front leash attachment help with pulling?

The leash connects to a ring on the dog’s chest, allowing you to give cues toward the direction you want to walk. This front-attachment design differs from the common harness style made for pulling a sled. The harness is designed to reduce pulling and can often help make walks smoother for both dog and person.

• Attach the leash at the chest ring for directional cues.
• Made for walking at your side rather than sled-style pulling.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure around your dog’s rib cage, behind the front legs, and compare the girth with the size ranges below. The Small size fits 21.5–24 in (54.6–61 cm) girths and is intended for dogs weighing 21–33 lb (9.5–15 kg).

• X-Small: 17–21 in (43.2–53.3 cm) girth; 12–20 lb (5.4–9.1 kg).
• Medium: 24.5–28 in (62.2–71.1 cm) girth; 34–60 lb (15.4–27.2 kg).
• Medium/Large: 27–33 in (68.6–83.8 cm) girth; 40–75 lb (18.1–34.0 kg); available in 3/4 in (1.9 cm) Narrow or 1 in (2.54 cm) Wide.
• Large: 32.5–40 in (82.6–101.6 cm) girth; 70–130 lb (31.8–59.0 kg).
• X-Large: 39–50 in (99.1–127 cm) girth; 131–200 lb (59.4–90.7 kg).

Measure behind the front legs, around the rib cage, for the most useful comparison with the size chart.

What can the training method help teach?

The Softouch Training method applies horse-training concepts and uses a dog’s sense of touch and natural instincts. It is intended to help teach dogs not to jump, lunge, forge, or pull, as well as commands including sit, down, wait, come, stand, and heel.

• Supports work on walking manners and the listed commands.
• The training guide comes with the harness.

This black Small harness suits dog owners looking for front-leash cues and a training approach for walking manners, provided their dog’s rib-cage girth is within the Small range. Its chest-mounted leash ring and included training guide bring leash guidance and training support together in one harness.
