Halti Anatomy Harness

The Halti Anatomy Harness stands out as a comfort dog harness due to its unique design, informed by scientific research and tailored to a dog's anatomy. Here are the key differences: Pressure Distribution: Unlike other harnesses that use narrow webbing and concentrate pressure in small areas, the Halti Anatomy Harness features scalloped back and chest pads. These pads distribute pressure more evenly across a larger surface area, enhancing comfort and safety. Neoprene Flex Triangle: At the base of the back pad, a neoprene flex triangle allows the harness to contour to your dog’s body as they move, ensuring greater flexibility and comfort. Articulated Neck Straps: Instead of a continuous loop, the neck straps on the Halti Anatomy Harness are articulated. This design allows more freedom to move and better comfort by allowing the harness to adjust dynamically with your dog's neck movements. Adjustability: The harness incorporates five adjustment points, compared to the standard four, allowing for a more precise and comfortable fit for your dog. These features make the Halti Anatomy Harness one of the best dog harness for running or walking, providing both functionality and comfort.

The Halti Anatomy Harness is a comfort dog harness that avoids placing pressure on your dog's neck, protecting delicate areas like the trachea, oesophagus, major arteries, and glands. Narrow collars concentrate pressure on these sensitive areas, which can be especially harmful for dogs, especially dogs that pull. For dogs prone to pulling, consider our Halti Train range of headcollars and harnesses, specifically designed to tackle pulling problems.

Hand-wash the Halti Anatomy Harness with mild detergent and allow it to air dry. To maintain the harness's longevity, avoid machine washing.

The Halti Anatomy Harness is suitable for dogs of any age. For very young puppies or smaller breeds, the Halti Anatomy Puppy Harness is a great option, as it is designed to fit smaller sizes.

Measure your dog's neck and chest to select the appropriate harness size. Refer to the size guide on each product page for accurate sizing. You may notice overlap between harness sizes in our size guide; this is designed to accommodate a diverse range of breeds and sizes. If for example, your dog's neck measurement falls across multiple sizes while the chest measurement aligns with just one or vice versa, it’s always best to size up.

The Halti Anatomy Harness is versatile and we consider it to be one of the best dog harness for walking, running and various other activities, including hiking. Its design prioritises your dog's freedom of movement, making it ideal for multiple activities.

Harnesses do not inherently teach dogs to pull, but a properly fitted harness might make pulling more comfortable for your dog. The Halti Anatomy Harness features an additional front control ring, which, when used with a double-ended lead, can help prevent pulling. For dogs that already pull strongly, consider the Halti Train range of headcollars and harnesses specifically designed to train them to stop pulling on the lead.

Back Attachment Points: Top Ring (near the head): Ideal for walking and can also be used for ID tags. Base Ring: Best for hiking or running. Alternatively, have two points of attachment with your dog when using a double ended lead. Front Attachment Point: Can be used in conjunction with the base ring on the back pad and double ended lead for no pull training. For dogs that pull strongly, consider the Halti Train range of headcollars and harnesses designed to train them to stop pulling on the lead.

The Halti Anatomy Harness is placed over the head and secured around the chest. To acclimate your dog, introduce the harness gradually: Use treats and praise to encourage your dog to place their head through the neck hole. Gradually increase the amount of time your dog wears the harness, rewarding them with treats and praise throughout the process.
