Abstract
A dog harness has a collar having a front ring and rings at each of its free ends. A releasable buckle functions to releasably couple the collar free ends. A cord passes through the rings and forms a pair of loops for disposition in the foreleg pits of a dog. A ring and fastener at the cord free ends releasably couples these ends with the ring and is also adapted to be coupled with a leash. A strain on the leash and harness caused by the dog will exert pressure to the foreleg pits which will result in the dog reacting to decrease this pressure.
Claims8
A dog harness adapted to be attached to a dog and coupled with a leash comprising:
- a split collar having two ends for placing around the neck of a dog and having a front and a rear, a front ring attached to the front of the collar and a releasable buckle attached to the ends of the collar with a buckle male member attached to one end and a buckle female member attached to the other end, a rear ring attached to one end of the collar, and another rear ring attached to the other end of the collar adjacent the male member and female member, respectively, of the releasable buckle;
- a single split cord passing through the front ring to form a pair of loops to be disposed within the foreleg pits of the dog, the cord having a pair of free ends, one cord free end passing through one rear ring and a further ring attached to this cord free end, the other cord free end passing through the other rear ring and a fastener attached to this free end for releasably attaching to the further ring, the further ring being adapted to couple with a leash;
- whereby when the leash and harness are unstrained the cord loops are loose and do not apply pressure to the foreleg pits of the dog, and when the leash and harness are strained, the cord loops apply pressure to the foreleg pits of the dog causing the dog to react to decrease the pressure.
