As a pet parent, one of the biggest responsibilities you have is to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable while out exploring. A dog harness not only ensures safety during walks and outdoor adventures but also plays a significant role in how every adventure is experienced.
Let’s take a look at a few reasons why the right dog harness makes all the difference on those adventures with your bestie.
More than just a harness
Choosing the right dog harness is important for many reasons. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and well-being are the obvious reasons. But it runs deeper than that. It’s about control, function and finding a dog harness that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Comfort and Safety: Rogz is a safe and trusted pet brand. That is why we encourage pet parents to choose pet gear that is the right size for their dog. A dog harness that fits your bestie properly will ensure that pressure is distributed evenly across their body, avoiding strain on their body. A dog harness that fits properly also reduces the likelihood of your bestie slipping out or escaping during walks.
Dog’s Size and Breed: Your bestie’s body shape and size is unique, so you need to pick the right dog harness that fits comfortably on them. We encourage all our pet parents to measure and weigh their dogs so that they buy the right size pet gear.
Lifestyle and Function: Depending on your lifestyle and activities you enjoy, you will need a dog harness that can be used for different purposes like walking, running, hiking, or even a dog harness that is super quick to get on and off.
A Harness for Every Lifestyle and Function
With so many options available when it comes to getting a dog harness, you’d be excused for feeling confused and overwhelmed. Every dog is unique, and every adventure is unique too.
We have classified our harnesses into four main categories to help you pick the right dog harness that suits your needs and lifestyle.
Classic Everyday
These easy-to-use harnesses are perfect for everyday walks, outings and a no-fuss adventure. They are designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, making them ideal for dogs that require minimal support and control during adventures.
Harness for this Function: The Classic Harness is available in the Alpinist, Fancy Dress, and Utility Range.
Activities: A quick walk around the park, trip to the vet, stroll on the beach or coffee run with the crew, these harnesses are perfect for your everyday no-fuss activities.
Control Behaviour Harness
The Behaviour Control dog harness is a great option if you need to correct your besties behaviour, or when they are in training. If you have a big boisterous dog, an overexcited puller or a reactive dog that needs a bit of control while out and about, then these harnesses will fill your need.
Harness for this Function: The Control Behaviour Harness is available in Rogz Utility Control Harness or the Rogz Utility Stop-Pull Harness.

Canine expert, Lara Shannon agreed that the Rogz Utility Stop-Pull Harness is perfect for strong pullers. She says that it provides additional control and helps with training your bestie. On an episode of Pooches at Play, Lara Shannon recommends the Rogz Utility Stop-Pull Harness coupled with the Rogz Utility Multi-Lead when it comes to stopping dogs from pulling on their leashes. When it comes to training, Lara is a firm believer that “consistency and positive reinforcement are the keys to success.”
