Best dog harnesses Australia

Made from soft, breathable material, the Dog Friendly Co. Harness is ideal for sensitive dog’s skin. Its breathability also makes it a good choice for any long or thick-haired dog who is at risk of overheating during the summer months.

The innovative one-strap design makes taking this harness on and off your dog incredibly easy. Simply slide their head through the hole, wrap the strap underneath, and click into place. This also makes it a great option for anyone who has struggled to get their dog into a harness before.

At the top of this harness you’ll find a heavy-duty D-ring which acts as a leash attachment point. This is also super strong, so there’s little chance of it tearing over time. And, to top it all off, you have the option to add a personalised patch with your dog’s name on it – perfect if you have more than one dog in your home.

If your dog pulls when you walk them, the Fur King Ultimate No Pull Dog Harness could be the solution to your problem. It solves the problem of pulling by incorporating a front clip harness which physically prevents them from pulling and allows you to take back control of the walk.

It’s also really well designed and is constructed from double-layered breathable material that allows airflow, even on warm days. The simple clip-fitting system and H-style make it easy to put on your dog and remove, and you also have the option to use the top leash attachment.

This is a great harness for night walks as well as it features reflective trim on each strap. The straps are also fully adjustable, allowing you to fit it perfectly for both your dog’s safety and comfort.

Another great choice of no pull harness, the Adventurer No Pull Harness Extra Durable features a front leash attachment as well as a top leash attachment. It is also innovatively designed with a quick-release mechanism that allows you to secure the harness in place without pulling it over your dog’s head.

The water-repellent, highly durable materials used in its construction make this dog harness super hard wearing so there’s no need to worry about it tearing or any stitches coming undone any time soon.

It’s also a good choice for night time walkies as it features a reflective strip and reflective stitching along the back. There’s even a dedicated LED loop, giving you the option to attach an LED light with ease – perfect for those winter night walks. You can choose from 10 colours as well, so finding the perfect match for your dog’s taste is easier than ever.

The Pelucci Harness is one of the more stylish-looking harnesses on our list. It’s simple, sleek design takes away the bulkiness that most other harnesses have, making it a good choice for a dog who already walks well (or a dog walk in a particularly stylish neighbourhood!)

Of course, it isn’t all about appearance. A dog harness needs to perform well too, and the Pelucci Harness does a pretty good job of that. First of all, it’s made from lightweight Neoprene mesh which is both soft and tough. This ensures both comfort and durability.

It also has adjustable straps, quick-snap buckles for easy securing and release, and three different leash attachment points. You can choose from 9 different colours and 4 sizes too, so there’s an option for any stylish pooch.

The Kazoo Harness Active Bloom Burst is a simple yet functional dog harness. It isn’t anywhere nearly as bulky as some harnesses, yet maintains a good level of durability through its nylon webbing, nickel-plated metal loops, and plastic hardware.

It is also a comfortable harness and features a padded section that won’t rub against your dog’s chest while they are wearing it. The two leash loops add an extra level of security as well as you need to use them both simultaneously to attach the leash correctly. This means that in the unlikely event one should give way, the other will still have a grasp on the leash.

This harness is available in 4 sizes, so there’s an option for almost every dog breed, and you can also personalise for that extra finishing touch.

Own a dog who could rival Houdini when it comes to escaping? Meet the Escape Proof Dog Harness Double-H Waterproof.

It also features several clips and adjustment points, allowing you to create a comfortable yet secure harness.

It is also one of the best harnesses we found in terms of durability. Made from waterproof Cordura and microfiber suede with a leather lining, it will stand the test of time while remaining lightweight enough to not weigh your dog down.

The Crash Tested Dog Harness Blue is potentially the best dog harness out there for anyone who travels a lot with their pooch pal. As you may have guessed from its name, this harness has undergone rigorous testing and has been crash test certified to 32kg.

You might think that such a harness is going to be bulky and weigh your dog’s body down during use. But, some innovative construction has ensured that this is as comfortable as it is safe. The lightweight, breathable fabric promotes airflow (essential in a car harness) while the use of plastic over metal to make the clips ensures your dog’s skin is protected on a hot day.

There are attachment points for your dog’s leash on both the front and the top of the harness too, so when it’s time to disembark (or should that be disem-“bark”?) you have control over pulling should you need it.

The Rogz Utility Step In Harness is an excellent choice for pet parents with a dog that simply refuses to have a harness placed over their head. All you need to do is insert their legs through each hold, secure the back clip, and you’re all set.

The high-quality nylon used to make this harness strong and comfortable, while the adjustment points allow you to fit it perfectly to your dog’s body. The double attachment points also ensure that the leash isn’t pulling on just one part, distributing pressure and making for a longer-lasting harness.

If you like the sound of step in harnesses but you’re looking for something a little more fun, the Fuzzyard Dog Step In Harness could be a great option. Its smiley-face design injects some character that many dog harnesses lack and, what’s more, it’s bound to spark some conversation down at the dog park!

Of course, it still needs to function well. And, with its polyester construction and stainless steel D-rings, this harness is both comfortable and secure. There are three levels of security as well; a clip, a velcro strap, and a double D-ring.

Another great feature this step in harness has to offer is it is super easy to clean and can be thrown in your washing machine. Perfect for any mucky dog with a tendency for rolling!

If your dog is prone to overheating, this Quality Breathable Mesh Nylon Dog Harness would be a good option as the entire underside is made from a high quality nylon that is dotted with hundreds of air vents holes. This padded mesh material helps keep your dog cool, but also prevents moisture from building up in the material and, as a result, keeps it fresher and odour-free for longer.

This harness is easy to put on your dog as well – simply slide your dog’s legs through each opening once you’ve placed their head through the neck hole. Clip up at the back, and you’re ready to walk.

You can choose from 8 colours and 5 sizes, all of which come with reflective trim for night time visibility.

If you’re looking to get as much value for your money as possible, a multifunctional harness like this 3-in-1 Anti Pulling and Car Safety Restraint Harness could be exactly what you need.

First and foremost, this is a walking harness that can be used as a standard back clip harness. Ideal if you have a well-behaved dog who walks well. However, should your dog like pulling you along as you walk, you can fix your leash to the front ring and you’ll have loads more control.

Its third use is as a car harness. Clip the back loop to a dog seat belt clip and they’ll remain safely in place throughout your journey.

All of the straps on this harness are adjustable and it also features 5 attachment points, giving ultimate control. The padded neoprene material also ensures that your dog is comfortable at all times, and it even has reflective stitching for extra safety on those night time walks.

Dog harnesses come in loads of different designs, but the Rabbitgoo Dog Harness is one of the most robust-looking we found. It lives up to appearances as well, and features a padded plate that lays flat against your dog’s chest, four adjustable straps, and heavy-duty clips.

The over-head design is easy to slide over your dog’s head without any fuss while the cushioning ensures that they are comfortable at all times.

It also features multiple attachment points for your leash, including one at the front which can be used to stop pulling.

One thing to note with this harness, however, is while it is available in smaller sizes it is recommended as a large dog harness and would suit breeds such German shepherds and sled dogs.
