Dogs AND Owners Love It!The Easy Walk® Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. It’s so simple – easy to fit and easy to use. There is very little acclimation time or special technique required.Unlike traditional harnesses, the Easy Walk Harness never causes coughing, gagging or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area.Traditional harnesses actually encourage dogs to pull harder because of the “opposition reflex.” That’s the reflex that causes sled dogs to pull against pressure. The Easy Walk Harness’ unique front-chest leash attachment stops pulling by steering your dog to the side and redi-recting his attention towards you.And, its martingale loop provides extra leverage for easy, relaxed control.

• We included a quick-snap buckle on both the shoulder and belly straps to make it easier to get the harness on and off your dog.

• Soft-but-strong nylon and 4 adjustment points provide maximum comfort and a reliable fit.• The martingale loop on the chest strap tightens when your dog pulls, preventing slack in the harness and giving you greater control.• The complementary color of the belly strap makes it easier to identify each strap, while keeping the overall look pleasantly color-coordinat-ed. You can quickly see which strap goes over the shoulders, and

which goes under the belly.

User Guide

Before you get started, here are some helpful tips!• Identify the straps of your harness – see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.• Start with all straps fully extended

Training and usage tipsAlthough the harness may have an immediate impact on your dog’s pulling habits, and it may feel more manageable to walk your dog, he still may pull while wearing it. The harness is designed to redirect your dog from pulling and help achieve a loose leash walk – if your dog pulls excessively, even while wearing the harness, you may want to try our Gentle Leader® Headcollar.

Use the leash tension to guide your dog

As soon as you feel tension on the leash, gently redirect your dog’s attention to you (you may need to slow down or stop). Once he is back in the desired heeling position, we suggest rewarding him with a treat* before you start walking again. You may find yourself redirecting your dog quite a bit in the beginning, but with patience, consistency, and rewards like his favorite treat, he will quickly learn the correct way to walk with you.*Rewarding the behaviors you want means they will happen more often!

TroubleshootingIf the chest strap is slipping while on your dog, or if he is experiencing chafing or rubbing in the armpit area, we recommend: • Reviewing the fitting instructions. It is very important

to have a snug fit in the girth – loose straps can cause the chest strap to slip, and can also cause chafing. Think about a shoe slipping off your heel – over time that movement against your foot will cause your heel to chafe.

• Reviewing the training techniques. Excessive pulling can cause the chest strap to slip and can also cause chafing.

Having trouble finding the perfect fit? Here are a few tips that may help.First, we suggest taking a look at your dog from the side. While the dog is standing, how does the harness look – like a sideways “T” or a “Y” ?

Sideways TWhen fit properly, the harness should resemble a side-ways T, as much as possible.If the harness looks like a T and the chest strap has room for adjust-ment (can be adjusted larger or smaller), the harness is most likely the correct size for your dog.

Sideways YIf the harness looks like a sideways Y and the chest strap has room for adjustment, the harness is most likely the right size, but not yet fit correctly.However, if the harness looks like a side-ways Y and the chest strap is extended to its full-est length, the harness is most likely too small, and a larger size is needed. Please refer to our sizing chart to find the best size harness for your dog.

For information and help with fitting, please call 800-933-5595 or visit petsafe.com.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to read and understand all instructions before

using the harness on your dog.

Fitting Instructions

Step 2: Fit the belly strap• Connect the belly strap to the quick-snap buckle.

Tighten the belly strap to a comfortably snug fit. Once the shoulder and belly straps have been connected and adjusted they should:

◆Resemble a vertical line as much as possible and not be in the dog’s sensitive armpit area.

◆ Have a snug fit - so snug that you should only be able to fit one finger between the nylon strap and the dog’s fur (or two fingers for larger dogs). A snug fit is important because the shoulder and belly straps combined create the foundation that keeps the harness in place, keeping the straps from moving against the dog’s fur.

Step 3: Fit the chest strap• Gently press your fingers on the lower front of

your dog’s chest to locate the breastbone. When adjusted correctly, the chest strap will be horizontal, resting over the dog’s breastbone. The strap should fit more loosely than the belly and shoulder straps, but should not hang down, gap or ride up on your dog. If this happens, you may need a different size (see Troubleshooting).

• Adjust each portion of the chest strap equally to keep the D-ring centered.

Attach the leash to the D-ring on the strap, and go for a walk!

Fitting Tips• You may need to remove the harness during fitting

to make adjustments.• Dogs may “tense up” during fitting, so check the fit

again after the dog has walked in the harness for a few minutes. Readjust if needed.

• Using a leash with a heavy clasp may cause the chest strap to sag. Please choose a 4 to 6 foot leash with a light but sturdy clasp.

• It is not recommended to use a flex lead with the harness, as the constant tension will cause the chest strap to loosen on its own, and possibly encourage the dog to pull.

• Couplers are also not recommended for use with the harness – pulling from the second dog could cause tension on the non-pulling dog, confusing him and inhibiting training.

No Tension + Loose Leash = CorrectThis is the moment to reward

your dog with a small treat and praiseStep 1: Fit the shoulder strap

• Place the shoulder strap over the dog’s head with the chest strap resting on the dog’s chest, and connect buckle.

• Adjust the shoulder strap so the connector rings sit above and behind the dog’s shoulder (see Fig. 1)
