All dog owners should know this fact!. A harness like this is a terrible injustice to your pet!!
AVOID USING THIS TYPE OF HARNESS !
In a dog’s forward movement, a harness with a tape that crosses its chest from side to side hinders it in the same way humans would bother going hiking with an elastic band holding their arms. Physiological movement of the front extremity is prohibited. Just like rubber would inhibit the pendular movement of our ARMS.
Thanks to the “Study of Canine Movement at the University of Jena”, we now know that in the dog, the center of rotation of the front limb is at the top of the scapula, but in the human the center of rotation in the arm is in the MOOD.
Jena’s study demonstrates, among other things, the importance of scapula movement for dog locomotion. Now we understand the importance of taking into account the free movement of the dog’s shoulder when choosing a chest harness.
That means there SHOULDN’T be tapes in the scapula (pink) area, and they shouldn’t cross the chest side to side either.
From the point of view of biomechanics and physiotherapy, it is recommended not to choose
Gearing harnesses that have a tape that goes through the chest laterally, or that have tapes that touch or press the scapula.
Always prefer harness models with ERGONOMIC design, to allow maximum freedom of movement for your dog, improve his well-being and safety during his walk.
