It would depend on what type of dog harness it is. If it is a fixed harness with two round circles connected by a single strap along the back, this would go on over the dog's head. More usual these days are step-in harnesses for dogs, whereby you would lift the dog's front paw and gently put the leg through one arm hole and reach behind the other leg and bring the second shoulder strap up, so the central chest area was covered by the middle chest strap and simply connect the parachute clips so that the harness is secure, not too tight, not too loose. Some dogs can be trained to step in the dog harness by simply laying it on the floor.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the type of dog harness. A step-in dog harness is exactly what it says, although the dog will need you to bring the straps up on both shoulders and fasten the parachute clips (2 or 4 depending on harness type). A traditional fixed harness or soft vest harness for dogs both go over the dog's head.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on the type of dog harness. There are step-in dog harnesses, over-the-head vest dog harnesses and over-the-head V shaped dog harnesses so for a GSD the fitting will be the same as for any dog. See links below for full details.

Why does dog wear harness?
Dogs use harnesses for safety. A Collar is great to attach your dog tags to so people can know who the dog belongs to but a harness attempts to alleviate the strain on your doggies neck when they still pull during a walk. A harness is a great idea if you have a strong dog and love to show them off. The harness will keep your dog secure in any situation and most importantly keep your dog from hurting itself when pulling. I use a nylon 550 paracord harness for my dog. It is flat, safe and comfortable.
Is getting a harness for your dog worth it?
Not if your dog walks well on a loose lead without pulling. However if your dog pulls at all whilst on a collar and lead, damage can be caused to a dog's trachea. A dog harness prevents this, as the harness sits on the dog's shoulders, not around the delicate neck region. Anti-pull harnesses are a good training tool to use in conjunction with a training plan to stop your dog pulling. Not all dog harnesses are made equal and it is best to look for a soft dog harness that will not rub or chafe. A good fit is essential to prevent this.

What do you put on a dog when you take it for a walk?
You can put on a dog a collar with a leash clipped on to it or you can use a harness around it's chest. It really depends on the behavior of the dog. Some times you might need a muzzle to keep the dog from biting other people and dogs. If the dog is strong and pulls you around you don't want to use the harness because you will not have the dog's attention. Also you can use a pinch collar to control the determined dog.
What should you do if your dog keeps chewing her harness?
First of all check the dog harness is correctly fitted, you should be able to get one finger comfortably under each side strap or two under the belly strap. Many dogs chew out of discomfort. Check the harness is not chafing your dog either side of the front legs - this can be caused either by a poor fit, too loose or too tight or a rough lining. If you need to replace your dog harness, consider a soft, comfortable fleece dog harness for your dog, as when correctly fitted these cannot chafe or irritate.

What makes a dog harness effective?
A harness is effective because the dog will not choke or gag when going for a walk. A dog harness is effective in preventing damage to a dog's delicate neck area, and trachea which can easily occur if a dog pulls on the lead whilst wearing a standard dog collar. A dog harness sits on the dog's shoulders, not around the neck and the load is evenly distributed on the dog's chest if the dog pulls, so no choking or damage to the dog. Different types of dog harnesses are effective in curing/preventing certain activities, such as anti-pull harnesses which are designed to be used in conjunction with training, to stop a dog pulling.

Is it good to leave a pet harness on 247?
The dog should associate the pet harness only with leaving the house for a walk, car ride, etc. When a harness is never taken off a dog, especially a puppy or young dog, the dog can outgrow it without the owner even being aware. This can/will result in surgery for the dog because the harness will imbed itself where the skin has grown over and around the straps on the underbelly, unnoticed by the owner.
