The design of the neck and chest of this harness has been unchanged for centuries. The special design spreads out the load across your dog's chest and shoulders, taking the pressure off the neck. Add in the premium padding choices, and you have a harness that is comfortable and easy for your dog to wear and work in. In most situations, 2-dog teams are the norm, but for frieght work, or in narrow places and very rough terrain, single file is often necessary. This harness is made for single file work. The general design is similar to normal sledding harnesses but features a removable singletree section with a hardwood spreader bar, and a set of dual traces. 1" wide webbing.
Padding choices:
Super plush is a synthetic pile with woven backing. Extremely soft and ideal for thin-skinned, thin-coated dogs. Does not pill up, and is machine washable.
Polar fleece is a Dacron polyester material. Holds a lot of air, so helps with insulation. Water-resistant and machine washable.
Neoprene is a nylon casing over closed cell foam. Virtually indestructible and provides extra cushion for heavy pulling, or for thin-skinned and thin-coated dogs. Water-resistant and resists freezing down to -30 F even if wet. Machine washable.
