Description
Non-stop dogwear Rush Harness is a short and light canicross harness for dogs. Easy to put on and take off: also suitable for everyday use.
The Rush Harness is made to be put on and taken off quickly and is ideal for activities with a high pulling point, such as canicross, bikejoring, skijoring, hiking or daily walks.
Rush Harness is perfect for dogs that like to pull. Thanks to the side pieces directed towards the tail, the pull does not tilt the collar of the harness to press the dog's throat, but on the contrary: it pulls the lower edge of the collar lower. This light, short pulling harness is therefore particularly suitable for everyday use for dogs for whom pulling is a very natural activity. Rush is designed on the basis of the popular Freemotion pulling harness, but as a lighter alternative. Rush is also a good choice for starting sled dog sports.
Thanks to the adjustable side straps, the Rush Harness fits a wide range of dog shapes: compared to many other more traditional pulling harnesses, the Rush is well suited to dogs with a short chest and/or back. Rush is therefore suitable for pulling training for breeds that are not traditional sled dog breeds. For example, staffs, herding dogs, terriers, etc. can find a well-fitting light harness in this model.
The Rush harness is made of breathable and soft materials so that it does not heat up the dog and is as light and comfortable as possible.
When do you prefer to choose a harness with a longer strap attachment at the base of the tail?
A short harness that ends in the middle of the back (such as Rush) is not the best choice for sports where the pull comes from below: e.g. sled. If your dog is a very strong and steady puller and you train actively, you should look at the Freemotion harness or another longer-built pulling harness. If you are unsure, we are happy to help you choose!
Size selection Rush Harness
First of all, compare your dog's weight and size category with the reference weight and breed examples mentioned in the size chart. Once you've settled on a potential harness size based on these, see what size the neck opening of that harness is. Divide this measurement by two and take a length of measuring tape in your hands. The tape measure should be flexible, don't use a metal tape measure. Pro tip: If you don't have a tape measure, you can use a pre-measured shoelace or charger cord, for example.
Example: Your dog is 34 kg standing. The potential size would seem to be size 7 based on the weight and breed. According to the table, the neck opening seems to be 53 cm. So take a 26.5 cm piece from the tape measure.
Measure the length of the measuring tape from the very top of the tip of the dog's sternum to the neck to the front of the shoulder blades. The measuring tape should be in a very tight straight line, so that it runs completely on the front side of the dog's shoulders - just like the neck opening of the pulling harness should stay even with a proper pull. You can see the point in question in the picture below. Is that measure exactly enough? Good, then the neckline of that size is probably very close to the correct fit.
