What does a grab handle actually do?

A grab handle is a sturdy loop built into the harness. You can hold it to steady or guide your dog without pulling on the lead. On the Woofingdales Peak Paw it’s an easy-grip handle on the back.

Which handle harness suits my dog?

X-Link (Black, Mint): Lightweight, ultra soft and quick drying, and machine washable. Neck and chest are fully adjustable with quick-fit closures. A front D-ring suits front-lead walking and double attachment. Black comes in XS, Small and Medium. Mint comes in Small and Large.
Hem & Boo Sports (Camouflage): Plush Airtex lining and padding with easy buckles. It has a chest clip and a back clip, plus reflective trim. Sizes run XS to Large.
Woofingdales Peak Paw (Dusky Pink): Soft Lycra outer with a quick-dry mesh lining. The three-buckle design fits over the head or body, with adjustable neck and chest. It has a front clip and a back clip. Available in Small and Medium. Hand wash or spot clean, and it isn’t chew-proof.

Does a handle stop my dog pulling?

No, and no harness replaces training. The Hem & Boo chest clip tames pulling, and the Woofingdales front clip is designed for anti-pull redirection training. Use them as tools alongside your training.

How do I size a dog harness with handle?

Measure around the widest part of your dog’s chest, just behind the front legs, and check the neck too. If your dog is between sizes, size up, then adjust the straps for a snug fit. We offer fittings in both shops (Brownhills and Lichfield), or you can click and collect.

Free UK delivery over £35, otherwise £3.50. Orders are dispatched within 1 working day and usually arrive in 2-5 working days. Local delivery is free over £5 in Walsall, Lichfield and surrounding areas.

How to measure your dog

Diagram of a standing dog with dashed lines showing where to measure the neck, chest, neck to chest and neck to top of tail

Measure while your dog is standing, with the tape snug but not tight.
Neck: around the neck, where a collar would sit.
Chest: around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.
Chest length: along the line shown in our diagram.
Once the harness is on, you should be able to fit two fingers between the straps and your dog.
Size up if between sizes. The ranges overlap, and the adjustable neck and chest straps give you room to fine-tune.

How to fit a harness

Identify the parts of the harness
- Back panel: the larger section that sits over your dog’s back, with a D-ring for the lead.
- Chest strap: the adjustable strap that goes across your dog’s chest.
- Side buckles: clip the harness closed around your dog’s body.
- Front D-ring (on some styles): an optional lead attachment for training or to reduce pulling.
Adjust the harness before fitting
- Loosen the straps so it’s easier to put on.
- Hold the harness upright, with the back panel facing up and the chest panel facing forward.
Put the harness on your dog
- Guide your dog’s front legs through the openings, so the chest panel sits on their chest.
- Pull the straps up around their body and clip the side buckles together.
Adjust for a snug fit
- Tighten or loosen the straps as needed. It should fit snugly, with two fingers’ width of space between the harness and your dog’s body.
- Check the back panel sits securely on your dog’s back without sliding.
Attach the lead
- Use the back D-ring for everyday walks.
- If your harness has a front D-ring, use it for training or to reduce pulling.
Check fit and comfort
- Double-check that all buckles and straps are secure.
- Make sure the harness doesn’t rub or chafe your dog’s skin.
