While I was happy with my color choice, I didn't gauge the sizing correctly* and Mountain DogWare quickly hooked me up with a Large. I love that they're a local company and I had the new one within a couple days.
To get straight to my point: I'm really happy that we have this in the bottom of the pack and highly recommend it. As designed, it's small and light (8 oz) so it is a no brainer to always have with us, even on the smallest of nature walks (where I have used it... true story). Light as it is, it's durable and has sustained the typical beatings Ty and I are known to dish out.

We practice regularly, both to be prepared and because I get a little
chuckle at the dogs' expense. The harness fits them well but it's designed as a functional piece, not a cushy ride, something they're not in love with to begin with. Practice has gotten all of us comfortable with lifts from various positions; I've learned the most efficient and comfortable way to package them up, including when they're lying on the ground; how to lift them front and back-facing; and for their part, they've learned the routine.

Packaged up without him having to move a muscle. The harness can be used to assist a dog into a standing position as well. |

ReplyDeleteWhat material is the harness made out of? Do you believe it is durable ?
