The Black Dog Balance Harness is designed for walking and lead training. It gives you more control without placing pressure around your dog’s neck.
The harness has front and back lead attachment points. You can use the front point with a standard lead. You can also connect a double ended lead to both points for balanced guidance.

The Black Dog Balance Harness gives you two lead connection options. This makes it suitable for different dogs and walking styles.
The front attachment point can help guide your dog back towards you. It may also reduce your dog’s ability to pull straight ahead.
For more balanced handling, connect a Double Ended Dog Lead to the front and back points.
A harness will not teach loose lead walking by itself. However, it can make training easier. Reward your dog when they walk calmly and the lead remains relaxed.
Measure your dog around the deepest part of the chest. Take the measurement directly behind the front legs.
The measuring tape should be firm but not tight. Use this measurement to select a size. Do not choose a size based only on your dog’s breed or weight.
After fitting the harness, check that:
Check the fit again after your dog has walked in the harness.
Attach a standard lead to the front point for everyday walking.
For additional guidance, attach a double ended lead to the front and back points. Keep both sections of the lead relaxed.
If your dog pulls, stop or calmly change direction. Reward your dog when they return to you or relax the lead.
A Black Dog Connector Strap can also connect the harness to your dog’s collar. This provides an extra point of security.
Use the Balance Harness for supervised walking and training only.
Do not use it to tether your dog. It is also not designed to be used as a vehicle restraint.
Check the straps, stitching and hardware before each walk. Replace the harness if it becomes damaged or badly worn.
Make sure the harness is correctly fitted before leaving home.
