Set Up
Front Harness
With one buckle unfastened, lay the front harness section on the ground in front of your dog. Have your dog step into the harness loops.
Lift the harness up to your dog’s chest and over his shoulders. Refasten the loose buckle.
Adjust the straps for a comfortable fit. Two fingers should fit snug between the harness and your dog’s fur.
Important: A loose-fitting harness will cause chafing.
Rear Harness
Important: If your dog is female, prior to fitting the rear harness, remove the protection shield from the belly strap.
With the leg loop strap unbuckled, drape the harness over your dog’s back with the lifting leash facing front.
Swing the belly band underneath and buckle on the other side.
Note: This strap can be undone when your male dog is ready to use the bathroom.
Swing the rear leg straps around your dogs rear and buckle on top of the harness.
Adjust the straps for a comfortable fit. Two fingers should fit snug between the harness and your dog’s fur.
Connect the front and rear support harness by attaching the lifting leash to the D-ring on the front support harness. Adjust for a semi-snug fit.
