The IDC®Powerharnesses have been designed
for ease of use and for simple application.
These types of harnesses are therefore
most commonly used during city walks or
when working with service dogs. As a result
of improper leash use, sizing, or harness
adjustment, some dogs can still wriggle out of
the harness.
If the leash is inadvertently pulled in the opposite
direction to the way the harness was put on, the
harness might be pulled off the dog. This can
happen if
• the harness is adjusted too loosely
• the dog starts moving backwards while trying
to run away
• the dog lags behind and is being pulled by the
leash
Dog harnesses are designed to guide the dog in
a gentle, neck-sparing way on the leash, to hold
the dog, and to make it possible for the owner to
hold it back in the event of an emergency. A dog
harness is not a coercive tool!
