WoodysWorkshop Report post Posted September 27, 2017 That is awesome!!! I'm next in line...must post pics of man's best friend in full attire! And, what size is the dog...in lbs? Do you have a pattern for it to share? I have a 15lb JRT, but I've never had luck with harness. They rub between the legs and chest and make them raw. Probably my fault for wrong sizing or not adjusted properly. My Tasha is a special kinda buddy to me, I'd like to make something special for her.

WoodysWorkshop Report post Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) That's very cool! How and the world did you do that? She actually likes to bark which scares the heck out of people. But she's just letting us know someone is around with a wagging nubbin. Edited September 29, 2017 by WoodysWorkshop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Dogg Report post Posted September 29, 2017 Very nicely done (the harness that is, not the photoshopped pic )!! And yes, I'd like to see a pic of the dog wearing it as well! Black Dogg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reegesc Report post Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Here's one pic. My buddy sent this one as soon as the package arrived. I asked for more and will post when he gets off work So pleased that it fits like a glove and all I had to go on was a few measurements and the hope that my own dog was close in size as a stand in model.

Reegesc Report post Posted September 29, 2017 And one more...on her maiden walk with the new harness. And the harness cured her pulling! Cured my dog's pulling as well. It's the strangest thing, you would think that a harness would encourage pulling, but instead it discourages it. It's counter intuitive I'll admit, but it was explained to me that the pressure a harness exerts on the chest feels like pushing to the dog, and they don't like to push. Hence, no pulling. Now how those Huskies overcome that...? Beats me. Different sort of harness? Breed specific thing? I dunnno, just know that it worked for me and my friend.

Probably my fault for wrong sizing or not adjusted properly. My Tasha is a special kinda buddy to me, I'd like to make something special for her. You can see that the chest on your dog compared to most other dogs is incredibly narrow, in your dog's case I would treat it more like you would a breast collar for a horse, in that you have the wide chest plate but have a d-ring in the center of it and a narrow strap that goes between the front legs, instead of a wider solid piece. Could even make it a leather braided cord with a snap on the end instead of a flat strap. On 9/29/2017 at 6:09 PM, cseeger said: And one more...on her maiden walk with the new harness.
