Dog harnesses are an excellent way to keep your pup safe and secure while out on walks or hikes. They offer several benefits to both you and your pup. I have listed a handful of ways a harness can make your life easier when walking your pup. I also included ONE of my personal favorites. I want to add that the reason I prefer walking a dog on harness as opposed to a collar is it doesn’t choke the doggy! A harness will secure around the dog’s body as opposed to his neck. This is so much better!
And without further ado, here are reasons a dog harness can make your life easier with my favorite pick!
Benefits of a Dog Harness
- Improved Control – A harness can help you keep your pup from pulling or running away when out on walks, as it distributes the pressure evenly over the chest and shoulders. This makes it easier for you to keep your pup under control.
- Comfort – A well-fitted harness can provide your pup with more comfort than a collar. This can be especially helpful for pups with neck or back problems, since the pressure is more evenly distributed over the body.
- Safety – A harness can help keep your pup safe in unfamiliar environments. For example, if your pup gets spooked and tries to run away, the harness will keep them secured without the risk of slipping out of the collar.
- Convenience – Harnesses can be easily put on and taken off, making it easier for you to get your pup ready for a walk or hike.
- Versatility – Harnesses can be used for more than just walks and hikes. They can also be great for car rides, trips to the vet, and other activities.
Overall, a dog harness is a great way to keep your pup safe, secure and comfortable. With the right fit and proper use, you can ensure your pup will have a safe and enjoyable time out in the world.
PUPTEK Dog Harness
This PUPTECK soft mesh dog harness is A-DOR-ABLE! I can say firsthand that it is super easy to put on, adorable and comfortable on dogs.
Here is Louis (a neighbor’s dog I walk from time to time) modeling his.

This dog harness & leash set provides one walking harness and one 4.9 ft nylon leash, making it easy and comfortable to take your pup out for a walk.
Dogs love this harness because of its premium material and air-mesh design that is lightweight and breathable, making it suitable for all seasons.
It’s quick and easy to put on, with just the need to open the quick-release buckle, put your dog’s head and front legs through the harness, lock the buckle, and adjust the size.
Plus, the traditional plaid pattern is both cute and timeless. This is a great gift for your pup or a friend who also has a pup.
