All About the Bulldog Harness

We all know that having a bulldog is a major investment.  This is why it is extremely important to know why you need to own a harness, and for what purposes.

Let’s take a quick look all about the harness.

About

The harness is a piece of equipment that has several purposes for your dog, and has multiple designs and uses.

A harness should be worn in conjunction with a collar.  The collar and harness have separate purposes, and a responsible owner would own both a harness AND a collar.

For Bulldogs, a harness can be used for walking and training purposes.  In fact, you should only use a harness when walking your Bulldog unless it is going to be a very brief walk – (for bathroom use, or something similar in length of time).

Knowing the difference between when to use a collar and when to use a harness is very important for the overall health of your Bulldog.

Bulldogs are 60 pounds of muscle, and allowing them to put all that power on their neck is a mistake that could be deadly for your Bully.

Applying the Harness

A harness is a device that circles around the belly and chest of your Bulldog.  This completely avoids your pup’s neck area.

To apply a Bullymake harness, make sure to first open the nickel buckle for easier placement.  Place the Bulldog’s head through the front end circle, and then make sure your bulldog steps over the bottom center strap with both legs.  Then, reclose the nickel buckle and you are ready to go!

Why a Harness?

Bulldog’s are a brachycephalic breed which means they have a short, compact muzzle and flat face.  There are a multitude of issues which these kinds of breeds have to deal with, including overheating.

The reason they overheat is because they have difficulty panting, or breathing.

For this reason, collars are not a good idea to continuously walk your Bully on.  You further restrict their breathing and also enhance the risk of tracheal collapse.

Let’s keep your fur-baby safe.  Make sure you use a harness when walking!

What is the Best Material?

We firmly believe that leather is the best material for a Bulldog.  Leather is softer AND stronger than Nylon, which will give you the added benefit of longevity in the product and also give your Bully more comfort.

Nylon will cut into your Bully and isn’t padded.  Our leather harnesses are padded which will decrease tension and cutting into your Bulldog’s skin, fur, and muscle.

Bonus Tip: My Bulldog is Such a Puller, What do I do?

If you aren’t strong enough to handle your Bulldog, you can use techniques to keep your Bulldog in check.

Bulldog’s are natural followers, and most will follow you if you simply let them go and walk away.  Sometimes, pulling is not the answer.
