In these sports, the pull usually comes from an upward angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreemotion harnesses leave the dog's airways very free. Thanks to the adjustable side straps and back length, they fit well for many dog breeds and individuals! Freemotion is basically a combination of traditional long husky harnesses and shorter pulling harnesses. It often has a suitable size for dogs with shorter backs, as the side parts rise faster than in traditional X-back pulling harnesses. Thanks to the adjustable back length, it still doesn't end up too short for longer-bodied dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoosing the size of the Non-stop Freemotion WD pulling harness for your dog\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, compare your dog's weight and size category to the approximate weight and breed examples in the size chart. Once you have roughly identified the potential harness size based on these, look at the neck opening size of that harness. Divide this measurement by two and take a piece of measuring tape that length in your hands. The tape should be flexible; do not use a metal tape measure. Pro tip: If you don't have a fabric tape, you can use a pre-measured shoelace or a charger cable, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExample: Your dog is a 34-kilogram setter. The potential size based on weight and breed seems to be size 7. According to the chart, the neck opening is 53 cm. So take a 26.5 cm piece of measuring tape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace a piece of measuring tape from the very top edge of the dog's sternum tip to the neck in front of the shoulder blades. The measuring tape should be tight and straight so that it runs entirely in front of the dog's shoulders - just as the neck opening of the pulling harness should stay in proper position even under strong pull. You can see this spot in the picture below. Is this measurement just barely enough? Good, then the neck opening of that size is likely very close to a proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/8257\/4286\/files\/koiran-mittaaminen-valjaan-kaula-aukko-traildogfi_497_281_480x480.jpg?v=1693992108\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSize\/\u003cbr\u003emarking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarness\u003cbr\u003eneck opening*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDog's\u003cbr\u003eweight\u003cbr\u003e(approx.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eChest part\u003cbr\u003elength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDog's\u003cbr\u003eof the collar\u003cbr\u003ecircumference approx.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eBreed examples\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e4\u003cbr\u003eyellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e41 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e14-20 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e20.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e33-36 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003elarge cocker spaniel, Irish terrier, small border collie, male lagotto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e5\u003cbr\u003ered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e46 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e20-26 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e21.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e36-40 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eborder collie, female vizsla, Australian shepherd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e6\u003cbr\u003eblue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e50 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e25-32 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e23 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e40-44 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003evizsla, pointer, labrador, large border collie, female German shorthaired pointer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e7\u003cbr\u003ewhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e53 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e32-37 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e24 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e44-48 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003emale German Shorthaired Pointer, \u003cbr\u003elarge male Labrador\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e8\u003cbr\u003egreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e38-45 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e25 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e48-52 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eGerman Shepherd, Doberman, Malamute, Rhodesian Ridgeback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelp with fitting the harness can be found in the video below and in our pulling harness \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/opas-vetovaljaat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cu\u003efitting guide\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
