Here at PetCloud, the safety of Pets and the humans that care for them are\u00a0our top priority, so lets talk about harness safety.<\/h3>\n

There are many styles of dog collars, halters and harnesses. The type you select depends on your dog\u2019s size, training needs and disposition.<\/p>\n

It is\u00a0not advised to leave\u00a0harnesses on all day every day<\/strong><\/span>. Depending on the harness type, it can rub pets\u00a0skin raw under their front legs.<\/p>\n

Also, it can make lounging around a little uncomfortable at times. At the very least – should take it off your dog during the night<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Dogs can learn to sit still while you put their harness on, if you teach them\u00a0the “wait” command. it can be quite useful in many different scenarios.<\/p>\n

Taking\u00a0the harness off while inside can signal to the dog that its ‘time to relax’\u00a0so that when you use the harness it signals to the dog that it’s ‘time for a walk or to go outside’.<\/p>\n

FITTING HARNESSES<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Harnesses fit around the shoulders and behind your dog\u2019s front legs. Harnesses are recommended for dogs with certain medical conditions, such as respiratory issues. Choose a harness where the leash attaches to the front at the chest for better control.<\/p>\n
