How to properly measure your dog’s harness
A harness is much more comfortable and is more reliable than a normal collar. But at first glance a harness seems more complicated. For example, how do you ensure that the harness is not too big or too small? The following also applies here: to measure is to know.
Make sure it is comfortable
The most important thing is of course that the harness fits comfortably. You naturally want to prevent your dog from not getting enough air because the harness is too tight. At the same time, you also want the harness to not be too big and to get in the way if the dog wants to run and jump nicely. It must all be about comfort and sufficient freedom of movement. For that you have to measure the neck and chest circumference to find the perfect size harness.
This is how you determine the right size
To ensure that a harness fits properly, you need to measure the size of the chest (girth). To do this, take the widest part of the chest, just behind the dog’s shoulders. To be sure, put 2 fingers between the chest and the measuring tape. Then you know for sure that the harness is not too tight. With some harnesses you also have to measure the neck circumference. Because the harness in the neck is lower than a collar, you start measuring at the top of the chest bone and go up again along the shoulder blades.
Found the right size What’s next?
The quality brands properly explain with what dimensions which size harness is perfect for your dog. DOG Copenhagen is known for its ergonomically designed harnesses, which minimally strain the back and neck of the dog. The brand uses the following size chart for its harnesses:

Click ’n Treat – because dogs are smart
Dog trainers know better than anyone that a training based on rewarding gives the best results. They even designed the ultimate reward bag for this: the Click’n Treat Bag by EQDOG. Why is that bag such a success?
Do dogs listen?
Research shows that dogs can recognize up to a thousand different words. So they don’t just respond to the way you talk to them; they also listen to what you say! Brain scans show that dogs also respond when you pronounce the reward words without the matching intonation. The “reward center” of dog brains does respond best to reward words that are pronounced with a “reward tonation.” That’s why giving a reward – in word and candy – works like crazy. In addition, dogs remember that they can get something tasty after good behavior. And that motivates!
Reward with a bag
For all those listening skills you must of course reward your four-legged friend. The best way to do this is with the EQDOG Click’n Treat Treat bag around your hips. You can easily open it with one hand. This way you can keep the bag closed until your dog shows the desired behavior on his own initiative or on command. The reward bag has a removable inner bag that is grease-free and waterproof. That makes it perfect for dog treats. Moreover, you can easily and separately store your clicker or smartphone in the bag. No other reward bag can compete with all that ease of use and smart design. That is why the Click’n Treat is immensely popular.
