Non-stop dogwear Freemotion Harness WD 7

The Non-stop Freemotion Working Dog is suitable for all types of traction and can be converted into a harness with an attachment. Freemotion is a highly popular sled dog harness that is suitable for many dog ​​breeds and many sports. The WD or Working Dog version is even more versatile, as the Pulling Attachment WD can be added to it, making the combination a harness. The harness is intended for pulling from low. The color of the WD version is also suitable for service dogs. The original Freemotion pulling harness is well suited for various types of pulling, but is designed especially with canicross, skijoring and bikejoring in mind. In these sports, the pull normally comes from the upper slope. The Freemotion harness leaves the dog's airways very free. Thanks to the side straps and back length adjustment options, they are great for many dog ​​breeds and individuals! Freemotion is practically a so-called a combination of traditional long husky harnesses and shorter pull harnesses. There is often a suitable size for dogs with shorter backs, as the side parts go up faster than in traditional X-back harnesses. Thanks to the adjustable length of the back, it still won't be short even for taller dogs. Choosing the size of the Non-stop Freemotion WD sled dog harness for your dog 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.

Thread the dog's head into the harness through the neck opening. This is made easier if you turn the harness to the width of the neck opening in relation to the dog's head. After that, lift the front legs one by one into the leg openings. Close the Velcro on the back and tighten the side straps to fit (so that they fit snugly against the sides but do not press). Carefully move the dog's hair and "excess skin" away from under the neck opening so that the harness can fit well. The harness is a little stiff when new, but it flexes quickly in use, making it easier to put on and take off. When undressing, open the velcro on the back again and, if necessary, also loosen the ice on the sides . Pull the harness a little closer to the dog's neck, and lift the front legs out of the leg openings. Freemotion, which has become slouched in use, comes off the head of most dogs even without lifting the legs: just open the velcro on the back and pull the harness over the standing dog's head. This is done when the dog bows its head down.

If your dog walks and trots for the most part without pulling, possibly even next to you, Freemotion is not necessarily the most practical option. The long pull harness can easily roll over if the strap/pull comes from the side. For such a dog, a shorter and lighter harness may be better suited, for example Non-stop Line Harness  or Non-stop Rock Harness Long . Do you miss colorful Freemotion?
