THE MEKUTI BALANCE HARNESS,
  DESIGNED TO HELP WITH:

• Pulling on the lead
• Anxious behaviour when being exercised
• Improved control, allowing both you and your dog the opportunity to enjoy your time together, with no shouting !
• Nervous dogs - the harness is designed to be put on without having to lift the legs, or manhandle them in anyway, so very useful for rescue dogs.
• Dog or people-aggressive dogs can be led safely between 2 people, being attached to both by a lead to add to their confidence and help them to cope in these situations.

Why do dogs pull?

Dogs learn very quickly. When a dog pulls on the lead a few times & realises that you follow it quickly becomes a habit. All the shouting & pulling on the dogs neck will do little to stop the behaviour, possibly making it worse and more importantly possibly cause damage to your beloved companion.
It is known that badly used collars can cause:

• Soft tissue damage to the throat or windpipe
• Vertebral damage to the neck & shoulders

Check chains can also remove the dogs coat from around the neck and cause pinch injuries leading to hypersensitivity in the neck area.
Badly used head halters can result in whip-lash type injuries ( which is why it is recommended that they are only used with a double-ended lead to also attach to the collar as a preventative measure).

Any dog leaning into their collar will have a reduced oxygen supply to their brains, thus making it difficult for them to think clearly, or even rationally. A dog that pulls on the lead is more likely to react badly when they see other dogs or people.

The patent pending Mekuti Balance Harness is made from webbing, with multiple attachment points to give you options on where the points of contact are to be. It comes in 5 sizes, each being fully adjustable behind & in front of the legs, & underneath the chest. This ensures a close, comfortable fit that doesn't pinch or rub. The seams are external on the chest for more sensitive dogs.

If your dog is head shy or has large or sensitive ears or after surgery on the head, a Balance Harness is available (for an additional £1) with an extra clip to one side of the neck. This enables you to place the harness onto your dog without worrying them. (Only available in black and sizes ; small, medium & large) Click here

HOW THE HARNESS WORKS

The Mekuti Balance Harness ^TM enables the handler to use two points of contact with the dog. When a dog pulls, you become part of their balancing technique. By using two connection points, you can withdraw one of the balance points before taking up the other. It is very simple. The end result is a dog that is unsure what he can lean into and therefore re-learns how to balance on his own four feet without relying on you - hence "Balance Harness". Once the dog has learnt this, you give fewer and fewer signals until he is walking alongside you without your input.

• May think more clearly
• Responds rather than reacts
• Reduces the chance of injury
• Is a pleasure for its handler.

Undo the two clips and place the harness over the dogs head. Re-attach the clips on either side of the chest.
Attach one end of the double-ended lead (with the largest clip) to the D-Ring on the back of the harness. Then thread the other smaller clip down through the chest ring at the front. Attach the lead to the ring on the side of the harness and you are ready to start.
