Fitting Guide
Fitting in this order is what stops a harness twisting or loosening. It takes two minutes the first time and thirty seconds after that.
- Loosen all four sliders before the first fit.
- Put it on and clip both buckles.
- Tighten the neck straps first, then the chest strap, then the belly strap. Adjust both sides evenly or it will sit crooked and twist.
- Two fingers flat under every strap. Tighter rubs; looser twists and can slip.
- Lock check: after five minutes of walking, re-check the belly strap. Sliders settle on the first walk. If a slider creeps, fold the loose tail back through it.
- Front clip for training and busy paths. Back clip for the quiet stretch once the lead stays slack.
- Take it off at home. It's walking gear, not a chew toy.
If it twists
Twisting almost always means the harness is a size too big or the two sides aren't tightened evenly. Fit by chest, adjust both sides, two fingers under each strap. Deep-chested dogs (greyhounds, whippets): expect the neck straps at their loosest and check the body-type notes in the size guide.
If a strap loosens
Do the five-minute re-check above. If a strap keeps slipping after that, that's a fault. Email wagverapro@gmail.com and we'll replace it.
Which lead on which clip
Use a fixed-length lead on the front clip for the first ten walks: the redirection is immediate. The Matching Classic Lead is sold separately and can be added from the cart. Never a retractable or stretchy lead on the front clip; the constant tension defeats the redirect.
