Tough Skin Harness
Brand: Howling Dog Alaska
This light and ultra-modern harness is made out of soft mesh fabric. It features a durable shell protecting the outside of the harness and is very comfortable for the dog to wear and it is suitable for any activity where the point of attachment is higher or even with the dog’s back. This includes skijoring, bikejoring, scootering, jogging as well as sledding. The length of the Tough Skin™ Harness (including the tug loop) is about the same as the length of a regular x-back harness. But unlike an x-back harness, the Tough Skin™ Harness will relieve the pressure off the dog’s hips. Unlike other "short" harnesses the pull force here is evenly distributed and comes both from the top and the underside of the harness.
How to measure for a proper harness fit: Measure the circumference of your dog’s neck from an inch or so above the shoulder blades to an inch or so above the breastbone and back, then compare that measurement to the sizing chart. If the neck size and suggested weight don’t match, go with the bigger harness to ensure the body strap won't sit too close to the dog's armpits.
