Everything you need to know to choose the right harness
Measure around the widest part of your dog's chest, just behind the front legs. Add 5cm for comfort. Check the size chart for each harness as sizes vary by brand.
No-Pull: Front clip redirects pulling
Back-Clip: Great for trained dogs
Tactical: Heavy-duty with MOLLE attachments
Step-In: Easy to put on smaller dogs
Watch for chafing, restricted movement, or the ability to slip out. Two fingers should fit under all straps. The harness shouldn't rotate or shift during walks.
Deep-chested breeds (Greyhounds, Boxers) need specific fits. Brachycephalic breeds benefit from harnesses over collars. Small breeds may prefer step-in styles.
Welcome to DogHarness.au, Australia's premier destination for finding the perfect dog harness for your beloved canine companion. Whether you're searching for a no-pull harness to help with leash training, a tactical harness for outdoor adventures, or a comfortable everyday harness for your daily walks around Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or anywhere across Australia, we've got you covered.
Dog harnesses distribute pressure across your dog's chest and back rather than concentrating it on the neck, making them a safer and more comfortable choice for most dogs. This is particularly important for brachycephalic breeds (like Bulldogs and Pugs), puppies still learning to walk on a lead, and dogs prone to pulling. A well-fitted harness can prevent tracheal damage, reduce choking risks, and give you better control during walks.
Australia's diverse climate means choosing a harness that suits your local conditions. In tropical Queensland and the Northern Territory, breathable mesh harnesses help keep dogs cool. For those in Victoria and Tasmania's cooler regions, padded harnesses provide extra comfort. Our selection includes harnesses suitable for beach walks, bush hiking, and urban adventures across all Australian states and territories.
Our comprehensive reviews cover all major harness categories including front-clip no-pull harnesses ideal for training, back-clip harnesses perfect for well-trained dogs, dual-clip harnesses offering versatility, step-in harnesses for easy fitting, and tactical/adventure harnesses built for durability. We also feature specialist harnesses for large breeds like German Shepherds and Rottweilers, small breeds like Chihuahuas and Toy Poodles, and everything in between.
