{"product_id":"non-stop-dogwear-freemotion-harness","title":"Non-stop dogwear Freemotion Harness","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNon-stop Freemotion is a very popular pulling harness that fits many dog breeds and many sports.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Freemotion pulling harness is well suited for various pulling sports but is especially designed with canicross, skijoring, and bikejoring in mind. In these sports, the pull usually comes from an upward angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreemotion harnesses leave the dog's airways very free. Thanks to the adjustable side straps and back length, they fit well many dog breeds and individuals! Freemotion is basically a combination of the so-called traditional long husky harnesses and shorter pulling harnesses. It often has a suitable size also for dogs with shorter backs, as the side parts rise faster than in traditional X-back pulling harnesses. Thanks to the adjustable back length, it still doesn't end up too short for longer-bodied dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoosing the size of the Non-stop Freemotion pulling harness for your dog\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, compare your dog's weight and size category to the approximate weight and breed examples in the size chart. Once you have roughly identified the potential harness size based on these, check the neck opening size of that harness. Divide this measurement by two and take a piece of measuring tape that length in your hands. The tape should be flexible; do not use a metal tape measure. Pro tip: If you don't have a fabric tape, you can use a pre-measured shoelace or a charger cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExample: Your dog is a 34-kilogram setter. The potential size based on weight and breed seems to be size 7. According to the chart, the neck opening is 53 cm. So take a 26.5 cm piece of measuring tape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel a piece of measuring tape from the very top edge of the dog's breastbone tip to the neck in front of the shoulder blades. The measuring tape should be tight and straight so that it runs entirely in front of the dog's shoulders - just as the neck opening of the pulling harness should stay in proper position even under strong pull. You can see this spot in the picture below. Is this measurement just barely enough? Good, then the neck opening of that size is likely very close to a proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"

Slip the dog's head through the harness neck opening. This is easier if you turn the harness neck opening widthwise relative to the dog's head. Then lift the front legs one by one into the leg openings. Close the back Velcro and tighten the side straps to fit snugly against the sides without pressing. Carefully move the dog's fur and \"loose skin\" away from under the neck opening so the harness can settle well in place. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe harness is a bit stiff when new but quickly softens with use, making putting on and taking off easier. When removing, open the back Velcro and if needed loosen the side straps\u003cspan\u003e. Pull the harness a bit closer to the dog's neck and lift the front legs out of the leg openings. A softened Freemotion usually comes off most dogs without lifting the legs: just open the back Velcro and pull the harness over the standing dog's head. This works when the dog lowers its head down.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRead more about adjusting pulling harnesses and checking fit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Freemotion vetovaljaiden säätäminen\" href=\"\/en\/pages\/non-stop-freemotion-vetovaljaiden-saataminen\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoosing and adjusting Freemotion harness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"\/en\/pages\/opas-vetovaljaat\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to fit pulling harness\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFreemotion harness for a dog that doesn't pull?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your dog mostly walks and trots on walks without pulling, possibly even beside you, Freemotion might not be the most practical option.
