Harnesses and More Choices for the French Bulldog

Full harnesses are intended for great athletes or aging Frenchie Dog. They have the particularity of completely enveloping the back of the dog and of having handles allowing the dog to be carried, in particular to help him overcome obstacles during wild hikes or to help a dog who is physically impaired. Often equipped with pockets and rather light, they are therefore very practical. For older dogs, there are models that also support the rear legs, allowing better support, especially if you need to help your dog by carrying it to get in the car, for example.

To remember:

Lightweight and practical
Allowing carrying the dog to help him
Can be used for senior dogs or during hikes or other sports activities

Anti-Traction Harness

The anti-traction harnesses have the particularity of having an attachment at the front located at the level of the chest. When the leash is attached in the front and the dog is pulling, the tension will hamper his movement, thus making the pull uncomfortable for the dog.

That’s why if your dog is used to pulling on a leash while attached to the collar, changing gear and switching to the anti-pull harness is a good idea. By doing this, you will change the sensitivity of the dog and then you can teach him the right behavior to behave.
The help of a dog trainer to guide you in this learning is recommended because your dog will especially not have to get used to pulling with this harness, otherwise he will get used to it. The interest is to change the tool in order to change the sensitivity of the dog and thus start again on a good educational basis.
In addition, the tension of the leash at the level of the chest is certainly annoying for the dog, but it is not painful, unlike what one might see with the use of training collars such as spike collars for example. These anti-traction harnesses will therefore have the advantage of offering efficient and rapid learning, but not stressful or painful for the animal.

There is also another range of harnesses comprising straps passing under the front legs of the French Bulldog and which have the particularity of tightening in the event of traction. These harnesses can actually hurt your dog due to the irritation it can create, so they are to be avoided or used wisely.

Final Words and Important Recommendations

Loving and educating your French bulldog also means protecting him against the vagaries of life. That’s why it is highly recommended that you take out dog health insurance as soon as possible. This will save you astronomical veterinary fees in the event of an accident or illness.
