How To Prevent Your Puppy from Escaping His Harness
The best harness that will prevent your puppy from escaping is made with high-quality materials, very secure connectors, and multiple lead attachment points. These features will give you more control over your puppy.
Below is how to prevent your puppy from escaping his harness.
Ensure that the harness connects correctly
To prevent your puppy from escaping his harness, you can narrow down your choices by planning on where to connect the leash to the harness. There are two types of harnesses – front-clip and back-clip harnesses. The one you choose will depend on your puppy.
You have better control over the behavior of your puppy with front-clip harnesses if you walk before your dog, but most of us walk behind or beside them. However, this type of harness does not always tame aggressive dogs. The Leopard Soft No Pull Dog Harness is suitable for active dogs and is a back clip harness, which is more ergonomic than a front clip harness because the leash won’t tangle if you walk behind or beside the dog, which is how most of us walk our dogs. A front-clip harness isn’t recommended for walking your puppy because it may also entangle itself beneath the front legs. With back-clip harnesses, the puppy’s neck is protected.
The harness measures up
The thickness should be assessed for both side-clip and back-clip harnesses. Ensure that you measure your dog and know the proper size and thickness depending on the breed and age. Additionally, make sure the harness fits accurately at all times, particularly for puppies that swiftly outgrow a design that was just right the previous day.
Making a custom order for your dog accessories including the harness will ensure that the harness measures up. Furthermore, you should be aware that the majority of manufacturers produce their harnesses in many sizes. Do not assume that a harness manufacturer’s idea of a small dog is the same as your idea of a small dog. Before making a purchase, make sure to double-check the size chart for the harness. The size must measure up to that of your dog.
Look for an adjustable harness
The harness must fit the frame of your dog. Your puppy will find it hard to escape if the harness fits more closely. If your dog has a disproportionate size such as a long body, deep chest, or a very slender neck, look for harnesses that can be customized such that it fits everywhere perfectly. The harness should not be sagging in one place and squeezing in another.
In addition to the adjustable harness, the handle at the back of the harness can help prevent your puppy from slipping out. Dogs can get free of harnesses by moving backward. With the handle, you will have more control over your puppy. With close control, you can prevent the puppy from escaping out of the harness.
Consider belly straps
The reason dogs can reverse out of their harnesses is that the circumference of their chest is larger than their head. You can prevent this by having an extra strap around the belly of the puppy. This is extremely effective because their abdomens often have smaller circumferences than the widest parts of their ribs. Therefore, they are unable to wriggle the belly strap over their torso.
However, using belly straps may not prevent every dog from escaping its harness. For small-breed dogs, belly straps may be too bulky, and they won’t work on dogs whose bodies don’t tuck in clearly. The best option when a belly strap won’t work is for you to look at a vest-type harness.
Use split leashes
To prevent your puppy from slipping out of the harness, you must consider the number of dogs you walk. What you need if you walk multiple dogs is a harness that works well with split leashes. Some pet owners will buy a harness with a clip on the right and a harness with a clip on the left. They will then use a Y-shaped leash to attach two dogs of the same size to one leash.
At the same time, other owners may have a large and a smaller-sized dog and choose two different leashes and harnesses depending on the walking habits of each dog. Considering this factor will ensure that you make the appropriate choice that will prevent your puppy from slipping out of its harness.
You may need padding
Padding helps dog breeds with short hair avoid skin irritation and rubbing. In addition to making your puppy comfortable, padded harnesses can add some extra flair and make your dog look fashionable. This alone may inspire you to take your dog for more frequent, energizing walks.
However, you should know that there is a need to clean the cloth-padded harness, even if it leads to more controlled walks. Some dog owners prefer leather because of how it feels after being polished. Leather can be repeatedly treated in this manner. As a result, it is less likely to cause skin irritation, keeping your puppy tight in his harness.

Conclusion
Having a puppy that does not easily escape from his harness is good because you can walk around with it without much hassle. This is important to ensure that your puppy does not get dirty or hurt easily. After you have done what you can to stop your puppy from slipping from the harness, look for something that matches your taste.
