The chest strap is placed into the Velcro channel on the front chest piece and secured by pressing it into place. The Velcro channel allows the distance of the chest strap from the front legs to be adjusted steplessly. The Velcro channel is an original invention by our designer Kana; it has been used in these harnesses for several years and has proven durable and functional.

PLEASE NOTE! The elastic band is not designed to withstand pulling or tugging, so please handle it with care.
Sizes XS - S+ feature a standard side-release buckle.
Sizes M - XL feature a side-release buckle with a red safety lock.

However, the equipment still functions in that position as well.
The sliding back piece significantly reduces the rotation of the entire harness and is one of its special features.
Therefore, choose the chest strap size whose shortest measurement is closest to your dog's chest circumference. If the chest measurement is 1-2 cm
