How to Transition Your Pup From a Collar to a Harness Safely

Why Switch From a Collar to a Harness?

While collars are fine for ID tags, they can cause neck strain and injury when dogs pull. Harnesses distribute pressure across the chest and shoulders, making walks safer and more comfortable.

Key benefits of harnesses:

  • Protect your pup’s neck and throat

  • Give you better control on busy streets

  • Reduce pulling with ergonomic designs

  • Offer more comfort with padding and adjustable straps

Step 1: Choose the Right Harness

Not all harnesses are created equal. Look for:

  • No-pull design for better control

  • Adjustable straps for a secure fit

  • Soft padding for comfort

  • Stylish finishes that match your taste

👉 Try the Dogistry No-Pull Luxe Harness.


Step 2: Introduce the Harness Slowly

Don’t rush! Let your pup sniff and explore the harness before putting it on. Use treats and praise to build positive associations.


Step 3: Start Indoors

Practice wearing the harness inside first. Short sessions help your pup adjust before heading outdoors.


Step 4: Go for Short, Calm Walks

Begin with short, relaxed walks. Reward calm behavior with treats and encouragement to reinforce the new routine.


Step 5: Transition Fully

Once your pup is comfortable, you can use the harness as their main walking gear—reserving the collar for ID tags only.


Why Dogistry Harnesses Make the Switch Easy
