Tracking Harnesses (12 replies)
|

Ok - I know the Schutzhund crowd doesn't need a Harness but for those who do AKC, etc Tracking, may I ask what your favorite harness is and why. I have a couple old ones but am looking to replace them with another Leather Harness that softens well (I'm not really into the stiff leathers).
Thanks

Hi K9Mom,
I'm sure there are many who know more than me but for what it is worth I use a siwash harness, distinguishable by the 'V' on the dog's chest, as it distributes the weight nicely. A siwash harness needs to be fitted so it doesn't sit on the dog's shoulders. See http://www.dogworks.com/fittingtheharness.html. Believe it or not I actually prefer the padded nylon because it handles being wet, dirt and cleaning far better than leather. They sure can get stinky!!
Happy tracking

I have this one from fordogtrainers.com

I really love it! and they will custom make it to fit your dog's measurements. Its all weather, water proof and has one clip to attach. You can pull with it as well if you want and the handle on the top is perfect to grab and redirect when training.

I know the tracking purists will gag but our search team has one, by one, mostly moved to this harness for our trailing dogs:
http://www.elitek9.com/Harnesses/index.htm
Dog trailing comfortably for long periods of time in it and dogs who pull hard into it. Washable in the machine. One snap. |

Mine are bespoke by my saddler. One dog's is over 12 years old and beautiful. |

Lds leather company - www.ldsleather.com
Everything is custom-I requested 3/4 inch bands instead of 1 inch - couldn't find it anywhere else
Very nice small company w/ quality work. |

| I've bought a ton of gear from fordogtrainers.com and I've been pleased as punch for all of it. Everything I've bought from them is high quality and fairly priced. We've bought both a traditional leather breast harness and a Bottcher, and both are first rate. Buy with confidence, darlin'...

I wasn't so lucky ... I had problems w/ fordogtrainers.com The harness I got was a different size and has very stiff leather when compared to my friends when bought new a few years ago. (Hers was softer from the start) Not to mention the product was damaged which lead to months of problems...
I guess I have bad luck... although I did like the looks of their products on the internet.

That's the thing, i really want a soft leather (I hate Nylon) but I suppose I can work it out and beat on it to soften it. :o)
Thanks Again,
