For us, there’s no better feeling than exploring the great outdoors with our fur kids. Whether you're going full throttle trig bagging, taking it slow and steady along one of our stunning UK beaches, or wandering through a magical forest…one thing is for sure – from the moment you begin sharing those moments with your dog, the bond between you grows stronger with every step. And just like you kit yourself out in the best gear, your dog deserves the same thoughtful attention to detail when it comes to their kit.
Let’s explore why choosing the right harness can make all the difference, and why your dog’s kit should never be boring.
Enter: the Neerdog dog harnesses.
Designed for Comfort and Safety on Every Terrain
Picture this: you and your dog gleefully navigating rocky terrain. With a Neerdog technical harness, you can relax knowing they’re safe and comfortable. Features like our three lead attachment points (front, back, and top) provide you with ultimate freedom and control. Walk how you and your dog feel most confident and comfortable and maximise your enjoyment on the trails. Our padded safety handle on the back isn’t just a lifesaver when you need to give your dog a boost over fallen logs or rocky ledges, it’s also a great way to quickly steady them if you come across another dog or unexpected wildlife. Add reflective strips, and your evening or early-morning adventures suddenly become safer, with your dog shining bright even in low light, providing you with confidence for sunrise and sunset off lead hiking.
Comfort that Moves with Your Dog
Harnesses aren’t just about safety, they’re about comfort, too. If you're off hiking for several hours, you need your dog to be comfortable 100% of the time. Our Go-B-Bold Harness offers you air mesh breathable padded material which ensures your dog stays cool even on long hikes. If the harness gets wet, it stays lightweight and offers a softness that prevents rubbing or irritation. Our harnesses are incredibly easy to fit. Adjustable straps mean you can quickly customise the fit for your dog’s unique shape, whether they’re a wiry explorer or a stocky adventurist. A snug, secure fit ensures the harness won’t twist, slip, or cause discomfort.
Let Their Personality Shine
Your dog isn’t just your adventure partner - they’re your best friend. So why settle for plain, uninspired kit when you can choose a harness that reflects their unique personality? Our Go-B-Bold and Go-Cee-Y Harnesses are made to stand out and match you and your dogs vibe. Just like you carefully choose your outdoor gear, your dog’s kit should make both of you feel good. When you’re snapping photos at the summit or by the campfire, you’ll both look and feel like the ultimate adventure duo.
Practical Tips for Choosing the Right Harness
Measure First: Make sure to measure your dog’s chest girth for the perfect fit. Harnesses with adjustable straps give you flexibility, but starting with accurate measurements ensures you’re on the right track. Always refer to our harness size guide for help on which size is best suited to your dog. And remember, if your dog is closer to the top end of the sizing, we suggest sizing up for the best fit.
Consider Their Activity Level: Dogs who pull on hikes may benefit from a front-clip harness for better control, while casual walkers might prefer a back-clip style for comfort. Which ever category your dog fits into, we've got you covered.
Test the Fit: A properly fitted harness should move with your dog and not restrict any movement whatsoever. This is why we use a Y shaped design on all of our harnesses so that there is freedom of movement as well as no unnecessary pressure on your dogs chest or neck.
Be Happy Exploring Together
Using a harness for us isn’t just about control, we feel it’s about creating a shared sense of freedom. It’s about knowing your dog is comfortable and secure so you can both fully enjoy the adventure together. When you invest in the right kit, just like when you wear your favourite comfy hiking boots, it makes every hike, or road trip that bit more enjoyable. Get your dog kitted out in Neerdog, so that you can focus on the good stuff.
So, harness up and get out there. The UK is full of trails to wander, peaks to climb, and sunsets to chase! ♡
