DETAILS

We have designed this unique x- back style harness to relieve pressure off the dog’s hips while pulling.

This harness is longer than the usual x-back harness, therefore relieves pressure off the dog's back without sacrificing the dog’s pulling power. A ring on each side of the harness allows the rear section of the harness to move up and down as the dog runs.

Our Wheel Dog Harness is an excellent harness choice for any dog running in wheel in the front of a sled with a low gangline attachment. But its use is not limited to wheel dogs only. This harness can be used on any dog in a team. For better overall health of dogs, we recommend rotating regular x-back harnesses and Wheel Dog Harnesses on all dogs in the team. The Wheel Dog Harness is also suitable for weight pulling, and tire training. It is an ideal harness for kick sledding or pulling a kid's sled (or any other situation with a low tow line attachment).

The unique design of our Wheel Dog Harness is going to give your team more power. Dogs will be running straighter. No more crabbing, no more running sideways. Plus this harness will stay centered on the dog's body, no more harness turning and twisting, no more underarm rubbing!

The Wheel Dog Harness is made out of 1-inch wide lightweight Howling Dog exclusive webbing. Closed-cell padding extends along the harness's entire length for added comfort. The harness features reflective stickers

Fitting tips: Do not size the harness too long! The harness should be only slightly longer than the dog's body (when stretched). It needs to be long enough to "free" the dog's pelvis. The metal rings should sit at the groin area.

Measurement "A": The circumference of the dog’s neck from an inch or so above the shoulder blades to an inch or so above the breastbone and back

Measurement "B": From in between the shoulders to the end of the body

S: A 17 inches, B 20 inches (40 - 49 lbs.)

M: A 18 inches, B 22 inches (50 - 59 lbs.)

L: A 19 inches, B 24 inches (60 - 69 lbs.)

XL: A 21 inches, B 26 inches (70 - 79 lbs.)

XXL: A 23 inches, B 28 inches (80 - 89 lbs.)

Great harness, just need a version with a slightly larger neck space

Love this harness, worked great for my wheel dogs, just one issue which is the neck. I run Siberians which because of their thicker fur need a bit more neck room so that it isn’t too tight and choking when they’re pulling. The measurements for my dogs didn’t quite align with the measurements given for each size, so ultimately I used their weight as the guide for sizing and got them mediums. This worked out fine in the body, but with their big fluffy necks, it does seem quite snug in the space, so i am not as fond of that part. I want my dogs to be as comfortable as possible and not feel like they’re choking when we run. Perhaps making these harnesses with smaller neck spaces for Alaskan huskies and smaller necked breeds, and a slightly larger neck space version for Siberians, small Malamutes, etc. I have 2 puppies that are Woolly Siberians that will likely never be able to use these particular harnesses when they’re old enough to run, unless I size up, which may make the body fit too big. Aside from this we loved them, and our wheel dogs did great with them, looking forward to trying it on our dog that is a crabber to see if it stops her crabbing as others have said.

Nice Harness

Very well made. Clever design. Nice look. Very fast shipping. It was a gift for the dog next door and it fit perfectly.

I'm so excited for this winter to use the new harnesses. If they're anything of the quality of the distance harness, I know I'm gonna love them
