On sizing
Halti give the size range as Small, Medium and Large without printing the chest measurements as text on this listing - order against the photo captions on the product page rather than guessing from your dog's weight alone, and note it isn't recommended for dogs under 9 months old or for continuous, unsupervised wear.
Why we chose it
A front clip is the mechanical fix for pulling, not a training promise - it changes the physics of the pull rather than relying on the dog learning anything first. Pairing it with the Halti Training Lead, as the manufacturer suggests, is worth doing from day one rather than after the harness alone hasn't fully solved it.

Size guide & how to measure
Harnesses are sized by the chest (girth) — the measurement around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.
How to measure
- Stand your pet up squarely.
- Wrap a soft tape around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.
- Keep two fingers under the tape so the fit is snug, not tight.
- If your pet is between sizes, choose the larger one.
| Size | Typical chest / girth | Rough guide |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 28–40 cm | Toy breeds, kittens, very small dogs |
| S | 38–53 cm | Small dogs (e.g. Dachshund, Yorkie) |
| M | 50–68 cm | Medium dogs (e.g. Cocker Spaniel, Beagle) |
| L | 65–85 cm | Large dogs (e.g. Labrador, Boxer) |
| XL | 82–105 cm | Giant breeds (e.g. German Shepherd, Rottweiler) |
Ranges are approximate and vary by style. Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact measurements.

Full description
A dog that pulls on the lead is being steered from the wrong end - a collar or back-clip harness lets the full weight of the pull go straight forward, which is exactly the direction the dog wants to go.
This harness clips at the front, on the chest, so a pulling dog is turned back toward the handler rather than helped forward. It's made from durable, lightweight nylon webbing with neoprene padding for comfort and high-quality chrome connection rings and clips, and a strong clip on the front attaches to the dog's own collar for extra security on the lead.
- Front-clip design, steering from the chest and shoulders
- Durable, lightweight nylon webbing with neoprene padding
- High-quality chrome connection rings and clips
- Front clip attaches to the dog's collar for extra lead security
- Not recommended for dogs below 9 months old
- Sold in Small, Medium and Large
On sizing.

Who it's for: owners of a dog over 9 months old that pulls on the lead, who want to redirect that pull from the chest rather than train it out with a headcollar.

Common questions
How is this different from a back-clip harness?
The lead clips at the front, on the chest, so a pulling dog is steered back toward the handler rather than helped forward as it would be with a back clip.
What age is it suitable from?
It's not recommended for dogs below 9 months old.
Can I leave it on my dog all day?
No - headcollars, harnesses and muzzles generally shouldn't be left on for long periods of continuous wear, and dogs shouldn't be left unattended while wearing one.
What sizes does it come in?
Small, Medium and Large.
Does it work with a normal lead?
Yes, and Halti specifically recommend pairing it with the Halti Training Lead for extra control.
How long does delivery take?
