Since 1994, Ruffwear has been dedicated to building gear for outdoor athletes and their human companions. We believe that our products should perform and that performance should be measured by the ability to enhance our outdoor adventures with our dogs. These guiding principles, along with a desire to push the boundaries and explore, are what fuel our soul and drive us to create the best dog gear possible. Thanks for sharing the adventure with us. At Ruffwear, we believe our dog’s gear should perform just as well as our own. We use technical fabrics with an athletic fit to guide us to the edge of exploration.

Comfortable all day? Freedom to run and play? Our dog harnesses offer solutions for lift-and-assist, training or lead pulling, and everyday adventures.

Ruffwear makes a wide range of different types of dog harnesses to keep up with you and your dog on your outdoor pursuits. Explore our selection of body harnesses, chest harnesses, and harnesses with handles for dogs. Each is mindfully designed, trail tested, and dog approved.

What kind of harness is best for dogs?

A strong harness that fits well, moves well, and allows full range of motion for your dog as they walk and run all add up to a quality, comfortable dog harness. Those all come standard in Ruffwear harnesses.


Does my dog need a collar or a harness?

There are reasons to have both in your dog's kit. A collar is essential for holding your dog's identification, license, and other tags. Dogs who aren't pullers can often walk on lead with just a collar. For dogs that pull, harnesses tend to be more comfortable by decreasing pressure on their neck. Harnesses are also more secure and harder to back out.

 

Should my dog wear a collar all the time?

Dog collars are a key part of a dog’s everyday kit: they hold ID tags for quick identification if lost and offer a lead attachment point when needed. They’re plenty comfortable to wear all the time, yet dog collars can pose risks during playtime and at home.
