Back Clip Dog Harnesses
Pet parents use a back clip dog harness for a variety of reasons, especially when it comes to comfort and control. Whereas some clips are situated in the chest area, a back clip dog harness is in the back and help ease strain and tension from pulling at the neck. Many recommend a back clip dog harness for furry friends who aren't big pullers and smaller pups in training. A back clip dog harness will typically offer more freedom for pets versus a leash or chest clip dog harness. Some additional perks of dog harnesses that clip in the back can include:
- Control: Pet parents can control their dogs on casual walks and involve less steering
- Freedom: Compared with their counterpart, a back clip dog harness offers more freedom and better range of motion
- Leash Teaching: Clips on the back of harnesses can be used for leash training
- Less Chest Pressure: Because of the back clip location, less pressure is placed on a dog's chest and this can suit certain breeds
Consult your vet or trainer when deciding which back clip harnesses to order from Chewy's vast selection.
Frequently Asked Questions about Back Clip Dog Harnesses
Do dogs prefer back clip harnesses?
Some dogs prefer back clip harnesses because they provide a feeling of freedom and a greater range of movement than either front-clip harnesses or regular collars. While back clip dog harnesses may not provide as much control for dogs who pull, they can be a good choice for most dogs.
How do you put a back clip harness on a dog?
Put a back clip harness on a dog according to the instructions on the harness packaging. Dog harnesses with back clip fasteners come in many different styles and may need to be fastened or adjusted in different ways. Some back clip harnesses are step-in designs, while others must be pulled over the head in order to get them on. Most harnesses will need to be adjusted for a snug fit using either buckles or fuzzy fastener attachments around the chest and tummy.
What size back clip harness does my dog need?
Your dog needs a back clip harness in the size that most closely fits his measurements. Be sure to measure your dog's chest girth and neck circumference, then compare these measurements to the dimensions for each size on the harness listing size chart. Choose the size that most closely fits your dog, sizing up if your dog is in between sizes.
What are the best back clip dog harnesses?
The best back clip dog harnesses are sturdy, breathable designs with durable hardware. Choose a back clip harness that is easy to get on and off, and look for one that can be machine washed, if possible, for easy care. Many dogs prefer harnesses made with stretchy mesh or padded material for comfort, although traditional nylon strap styles may be cooler in hot climates.
What is a back clip dog harness?
A back clip dog harness is one where the clip is literally located on the back, versus chest clip harnesses, where the clip is located on the front. These can offer greater range of motion and comfort, depending on the size and breed of your puo.
Is a front clip or back clip harness better?
Your dog's size, breed, and temperament can determine if a front or back clip harness is better. If your furry friend doesn't like the chest pressure that a front clip can cause, a back clip one is often preferred. Back clip harnesses are usually best for smaller to medium-sized dogs who don't pull too hard.
How is a back clip harness correctly fitted?
When fitting a back clip harness, it's important to remember that the harness needs to be snug, but not too tight. Many vets and trainers recommend a "two finger rule" — which entails being able to easily fit two fingers in between the harness while it's on your dog at any point in time.
