Buying guide
A good harness is chosen according to your dog’s build, the way they walk on the lead and your walks. This guide sums up what to check before you buy, whether you choose a MyDogGrip harness or another model.
When the lead tightens, a collar presses on the neck, where the windpipe, blood vessels and nerves run. On an artificial neck, researchers measured high pressures with every collar tested (Carter et al., 2020). Another study found a rise in pressure inside the eye when a dog pulled against a collar, much smaller with a harness (Pauli et al., 2006).
A harness moves the load onto the chest. That is why it is often recommended for dogs that pull, small dogs and flat-faced breeds. A collar is still handy for carrying an ID tag. Harness or collar: what the studies say
Both MyDogGrip harnesses are no-pull walking harnesses, with a front clip, a back ring and a handle. They are not designed for canicross or for the car. What is a dog harness for?
The front clip, on the chest, helps you guide a dog that pulls: when they surge ahead, the lead turns them towards you. In a study of 23 shelter dogs, the dogs pulled less with a front-clip harness than with a martingale collar (Johnson and Wynne, 2024). It does not replace loose-lead training, and the lead can sometimes slip under the legs.
The back ring suits a dog that already walks calmly: the lead stays above the back and tangles less. With both, you can switch from one to the other as your dog progresses.

The reliable measure is the chest girth: measure your dog standing, just behind the front legs, at the widest part of the ribcage, with a soft tape measure snug but not tight. Weight is only a guide: two 15 kg dogs can have very different chest girths.
MyDogGrip harnesses: S from 43 to 56 cm, M from 56 to 69 cm, L from 69 to 81 cm and XL from 81 to 107 cm. The personalised harness also comes in XS for dogs under 4 kg. See the size chart

Check the fit again after grooming, after weight gain or loss, and every week for a puppy. Read more: how to put on a dog harness, the harness twists to the side and fitting a harness on a long-haired dog.
Small dogs: their neck and windpipe are delicate, so a harness is often better than a collar. Check that the smallest size covers your dog’s chest girth.
Large dogs: look for sturdy buckles, a handle to keep them close and a front clip if they pull. Always measure, as the ranges of the large sizes are wide.
Puppies: get your puppy used to the harness with short, positive sessions at home. They grow fast: adjust the straps every week and move up a size as soon as the range is exceeded. Puppy harness: from what age?
In autumn and winter, many walks happen at dusk. Reflective elements bounce back the light from headlights and torches: the reflective harness has reflective strips, the personalised harness reflective stitching. On unlit roads, add a light or an LED collar.
The personalised MyDogGrip harness has a hook-and-loop patch embroidered with your dog’s name (up to 12 characters, spaces included). You can also choose the MyDogGrip logo or a blank patch. A visible name helps a passer-by call your dog if they wander off, but it does not replace microchip identification. Long name: our tips
Brush the harness after muddy walks, remove the patch before any cleaning and let it dry in the open air, away from a radiator. Check the stitching, buckles and straps regularly, and replace a damaged harness. Read more: drying a harness after rain and cleaning the patch’s hook-and-loop. Find all our articles in the Magazine.
Frequently asked questions
The personalised harness has a hook-and-loop patch (embroidered name, MyDogGrip logo or blank patch) and reflective stitching. The reflective harness has reflective strips and no patch. Both have a front clip, a back ring and a handle. Compare models
Measure the chest girth with your dog standing, just behind the front legs, using a soft tape measure that fits snugly without squeezing. Then compare with the size chart on the product page. Weight is only a guide. Measure without a tape measure
It helps, but it is not magic. The front clip turns the dog towards you when they pull, which makes guiding easier, but the result mostly depends on loose-lead training. What the studies say
A light collar is handy for carrying an ID tag. On walks, clip the lead to the harness rather than the collar.
No. Take it off at home and do not leave your dog unsupervised in the harness, to avoid rubbing and the risk of it getting caught.
No. Our harnesses are designed for walks on the lead. For canicross, choose a pulling harness; in the car, a harness or crate tested for that purpose.
