Grossenbacher ProGuide harness

The Grossenbacher ProGuide harness is one of the best all-rounder harnesses we have come across. It is similar in design to the Fun Run harness, but in addition it offers a front d-ring option that allows gentle redirection if your dog pulls on the leash, as well as a unique double-girth set up for escape artists! Grossenbacher's intelligent design means that the dog is not constricted during redirection, nor are the shoulders blocked in a way that is detrimental to health. It can therefore be used both as a training harness and as an everyday harness.

The ProGuide offers full freedom of movement for all activities. The shoulder and elbow joints are always free and the dog can move without restriction. It is made of a light and flexible fabric that does not show any pressure points and does not chafe. Thanks to the ergonomic cut, the belly straps can be adjusted such that the dog does not feel any pressure on the spine. Grossenbacher uses high-quality, sturdy buckles that can withstand heavy loads.

The two girth straps can be independently adjusted but there is only one buckle on each side. This is a unique variation on a double girth harness and a great option for keeping your dog secure during training or on daily walks.

This harness has three connection points: a standard ring at the back of the harness, a front ring on the chest and an additional ring near the back of the neck (the 'first' ring). We recommend using the standard back ring for everyday activities. The front ring may be used temporarily for training; we suggest a double-ended lead so the single point of contact is not the front ring. The ring at the back of the neck can also be used for training or if you need to keep your dog close to you. You can also use a double-ended lead when using this 'first' ring.

Non-adjustable neck. Slips on over the head.

There is a handle on the back (situated front to back) so you can briefly grab it to hold/assist your dog. (Size 3XS and smaller have no handle.)

• Full freedom of movement of shoulder and elbow

It is important to adjust the harness correctly, so please contact us for information and advice if you are unsure.

The size chart is here. (Pls disregard pg2)
NB. Grossenbacher harnesses are sized by breed and weight, not by girth measurement. (The girth straps on Grossenbacher harnesses generally have a large range of adjustment.) The best way to get the correct size for your dog is to come into the fitting studio and try them on. These harnesses run on the larger side so please consult the size chart; don't simply get a size small because that's what size usually fits your dog in other gear. If you order online you may need to exchange if the first size you purchase isn't quite right.

Standard colours available from Harbour City Dog Gear are as per the colour selection drop down list on this page. Some photos in the gallery are of colours that may not be available. 

The standard sizes we offer in the ProGuide harness are 4XS up to L. Other sizes (up to 3XL) can be ordered on request - please contact us if you would like to order a size that is not in the drop down list.
