Perfect Fit Harnesses
I am a stockist of the Perfect Fit Harness from Dog-Games. Harnesses are much nicer for dogs than collars because it takes the pressure off the neck. The harness comes in three pieces to allow a snug and perfect fit for your individual dog. As your dog grows you should only have to replace one or two pieces at a time. Here's the link if you would like to know more www.dog-games-shop.co.uk/perfect-fit-fleece-dog-harness I can carry out harness fittings before and after class. If you would like to book a fitting please get in touch.
