For example, the lightweight Hurtta Casual Y-Harness is perfect for smaller, lighter breeds, while the Weekend Warrior II Harness ECO is designed for a broader range of dogs, offering precise fit and excellent adjustability. Our harnesses are crafted with care, built under strict supervision, and tested for long-lasting durability—because your best friend deserves nothing less.

A dog harness isn’t just another accessory; it’s an essential piece of gear for any dog owner. A well-designed harness allows your dog the freedom to move while protecting them from the jolts of sudden stops by evenly distributing the pull across their chest. Choosing the right harness ensures a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for both you and your furry friend.

When selecting a harness, consider your dog’s personality, behavior, and the activities you enjoy together. For young explorers who pull eagerly on the leash, a Venture No-Pull Dog Harness can help ease the strain and teach better leash manners. Puppies and growing dogs benefit from an adjustable dog harness that can adapt to their size as they grow. For daily walks, a harness designed for quick and easy dressing is a time-saving solution. If your adventures take you to faster-paced or rugged environments, a durable and ergonomic dog harness provides the extra support and comfort needed.

Rescue and re-homed dogs often require a secure and escape-proof harness, ensuring their safety when startled or distracted by their surroundings. For dogs thriving on routine or those finding their place in a new family, a reliable and well-fitted harness can make all the difference.

No matter your needs, a properly fitted harness promotes safety, comfort, and happiness for your dog. At Hurtta, our harnesses are designed with fit, function, and durability in mind, making them the perfect companion for all your adventures—big or small. Whether you’re looking for an eco-friendly dog harness, a lightweight option for everyday strolls, or a tough harness for demanding activities, you can trust Hurtta to deliver quality and care in every product.

Hurtta's dog harnesses are designed with an exclusive sizing system based on data from over 8,000 dogs across hundreds of breeds, ensuring that adjustability is at the heart of every harness. This means our harnesses are easily adjustable to fit nearly every dog, regardless of size or shape. When selecting a harness, consider your dog’s body type—some harnesses are more suited for dogs with narrower bodies, while others offer more versatility.

Many of our harnesses come with adjustable straps at both the chest and neck, while some, like the Hurtta Safeguard Harness ECO, offer full adjustability, including an extra strap around the waist to improve fit, stability, and safety. This level of customization ensures that your dog remains comfortable and secure during walks and adventures.

It's not just about fit either—our harnesses are designed with thoughtful, practical details to enhance your dog’s comfort and your convenience. Features like a back handle for quick control in tricky situations, reflective elements for increased safety during night or early morning walks, and even a front leash ring for easier leash training all come standard. Plus, the right color can brighten your day and show off your dog’s unique personality.

At Hurtta, we go the extra mile to create harnesses that are not only comfortable and functional but also stylish and safe, ensuring that your dog is ready for every adventure, day or night. Whether you're looking for an eco-friendly dog harness or a durable option for daily walks, Hurtta's wide range of harnesses offers something for every dog and every owner.

The Casual H-harness is a traditional, popular, and versatile dog harness style that’s perfect for everyday walks and a variety of outdoor activities, year-round. It's designed to be easy to put on, fastened around your dog's chest without the need to lift their legs, making it ideal for both puppies and adult dogs. The H-harness works especially well for dogs with a narrow space between their front legs, providing a better fit than a Y-harness, which sits between the dog's front legs.

This makes the Casual H-harness a great choice for narrow-bodied breeds like the Yorkshire Terrier, Tibetan Spaniel, Poodle, and Belgian Shepherd. Whether you're taking your dog for daily walks or embarking on outdoor adventures, the H-harness offers comfort, convenience, and style. With its easy-to-use design, it ensures that your dog stays comfortable and secure during every activity, making it an essential choice for any dog owner.

A Y-harness is designed to give your dog more freedom of movement, as the front strap doesn’t limit the front legs from moving forward or sideways. This makes it a perfect choice for longer adventures, hikes, and fast-paced activities. Because of its comfort and flexibility, it’s an ideal harness for active dogs that love to explore. Many models offer adjustability in both the neck and chest areas, ensuring a better fit for a wide variety of breeds. Durable snap locks make it easier to put on, and some Y-harnesses can even be worn without having to lift your dog’s front legs.

The Hurtta Casual Y-Harness is a lightweight option with comfortable padding, designed with breeds like the Dachshund, Cocker Spaniel, Shetland Sheepdog, Schnauzer, Border Collie, Spanish Water Dog, and Nova Scotia Retriever in mind. For other breeds requiring extra adjustability, a sturdy top handle, and wide padded sections, the Casual Y-Harness offers an excellent fit.

For more adventurous dogs, the Hurtta Weekend Warrior II ECO is inspired by active breeds like the Jack Russell Terrier, Beagle, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, and Dalmatian.

Hurtta Y-harnesses come in both sporty and casual models, suitable for both forest trips and city adventures. Whether you're looking for everyday comfort with the Casual Y-Harness or dependability and style with the Weekend Warrior Harness II ECO, both options provide the freedom and security your dog needs. With Hurtta's attention to detail and durable designs, you can be sure that your dog is ready for any journey.

If you’re seeking a harness that provides your dog with added warmth, the Weekend Warrior Warming Harness is an excellent choice. Need enhanced visibility during nighttime adventures? The Weekend Warrior Neon Harness has you covered!

Tailored for rescue dogs or those prone to slipping out, this harness ensures safety with multiple adjustment points. It’s nearly escape-proof and keeps your dog secure and comfortable.

The Safeguard Harness ECO features not just the standard chest and neck straps but an added adjustable strap around the waist. This design is tailor-made for rescue and re-homed dogs, as well as young, growing dogs who might attempt to slip out of their harness or who may still be getting used to their new surroundings.

This harness is an excellent choice for dogs with a slender build, deep chest, and narrow waist—traits often found in mixed breeds such as greyhounds, podengos, or terriers. With multiple points of adjustment, the harness ensures a snug fit, making it nearly impossible for your dog to slip out. Adjustments can be made around the neckline, belly, chest, and waist, securing your dog without restricting their movement. The added waist strap prevents any chance of escape by twisting or backing out, while the generous padding ensures your dog’s comfort at all times.

A unique feature is the front loop on the chest, designed for leash training to discourage pulling. With the option to attach the leash both at the back and the front, you gain improved control, making walks more enjoyable for both you and your dog. The handle at the back of the harness adds an extra layer of safety, allowing for quick intervention in moments of anxiety or excitement.

With the Safeguard Dog Harness ECO, you can embark on outdoor adventures knowing your dog is secure, comfortable, and ready for whatever the day brings.

The Hurtta Venture No-Pull Harness is an ideal tool for teaching your dog proper leash manners, especially for strong pullers. It helps redirect your dog’s attention back to you, making walks more enjoyable for both of you. When designing the Venture No-Pull Harness, we focused on narrow-built dogs with the power to pull, such as the Parson Russell Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Poodle, Collie, and German Shepherd. This harness helps manage pulling while also offering versatility.

The Hurtta Venture No-Pull Harness works by redirecting your dog’s attention through its unique attachment points. When you attach the leash to the front attachment ring, the harness guides the dog's movement and keeps their focus on you. If you prefer, the harness can be used without the No-Pull feature by attaching the leash to the top ring, allowing for more freedom during walks.

Using the front ring attachment offers several benefits. It gently redirects your dog’s attention towards you, making it easier to manage pulling behavior and reducing strain on both your dog and you. This method enhances training by encouraging your dog to follow your lead and prevents sudden lunges, ensuring a safer and more controlled walking experience.

Training your dog to stop pulling takes time, patience, and consistency. Use treats to reward your dog whenever they resist pulling or seek contact with you, making the learning process a fun and positive experience for both of you. Spending quality time with your dog and teaching them new leash behaviors can strengthen your bond and improve their walking habits. The No-Pull Harness provides gentle support to ensure you and your dog enjoy every adventure together, whether you're walking around the block or on an outdoor excursion.

At Hurtta, we are deeply committed to sustainability, and our ECO range reflects this passion. Made from recycled materials, our ECO harnesses allow you to enjoy adventures with your dog while making a positive impact on the planet. Our goal is to manufacture all Hurtta gear using recycled materials, and we’re already well on our way with several eco-friendly models available. Look for the Hurtta ECO mark to ensure your gear is both durable and environmentally conscious.

Our planet offers endless outdoor fun for both us and our dogs, and that's why all Hurtta products are built to withstand serious adventures and outdoor activities that dogs love. But protecting the environment is just as important as ensuring your dog’s comfort and safety. With our ECO Harnesses, you can enjoy your outdoor explorations knowing you’re supporting a brand that cares about both your dog’s well-being and the future of the planet.
