Heres an investment tip for all the savvy dogs out there: put your
resources in something risk-averse that will offer security, stability,
and guaranteed returns. No, were not talking about Social Security.
What were suggesting will really pay off in the end: a secure,
comfortable harness that connects a dog to its guardian.
A harness is commonly worn as an alternative attachment point for a
leash. The design of a harness allows for better distribution of
pulling force to prevent choking. The harness also prevents slip-offs
and escapes common with collars.
Originally designed to assist search-and-rescue organizations. Allows
the human to lift the dog onto a chairlift, into a truck, or out of
harms way. Houdini dogs that manage to escape traditional harnesses
find it nearly impossible to get out of the Web Master. Also popular
for dog-jouring: dogs pulling humans on skis, skates, skateboards, or
sleds. Rehabilitation centers use the harness for lifting and assisting
injured or paralyzed dogs through their therapy. Owners of older dogs
or dogs with hip dysplasia use the harness to lift and assist their
dogs up and down stairs, around the house, and into the yard.
