non-restrictive harnesses
We have carefully selected harnesses that are designed with a dog’s natural movement in mind. Each model should allow unimpeded forward movement of the forelimb and front of shoulder as well as the full range of motion for the top of shoulder and shoulder blade. If you have questions about which model would suit your dog’s anatomy best, or would like adjusting the fit of your harness, please reach out!
leashes and long lines
We recommend a minimum leash length of 6 feet for comfortable neighborhood walking. For long lines, we suggest starting shorter and working your way up as you gain confidence and build handling skills. The maximum long line length we recommend is 30 feet. For long line help, schedule a decompression walk demo!
toys and enrichment
Licking, chewing and foraging are essential natural behaviors for all dogs and can provide many soothing, calming benefits. These toys can help to entertain your dog while meeting their enrichment needs.
