Here at JULIUS-K9® UK we’d like to clear up some misinformation regarding no pull harnesses – there is no such thing as a completely no pull dog harness or collar.

What no pull equipment does do is limit a dog’s ability to yank on the leash and allow you to stop their pulling safely. When used correctly they can be an effective training tool and allow you to walk with your dog in a more controlled and disciplined manner.

JULIUS-K9® no pull harnesses

We do not sell no pull harnesses here on the JULIUS-K9® UK website.

No pull harnesses are designed to restrict a dog’s natural movement in order to train them into walking without yanking on the leash and trying to run ahead of you. JULIUS-K9® harnesses do not restrict your dog’s movement.

We take great pride in our harnesses with dog safety and comfort being our number one priority. See our scientific studies for details on how our harnesses

Jogging with your dog can be extremely rewarding. It allows your dog to have a variety of exercise and gives you extra motivation to keep to your running routine.

We outlined how to jog with your dog safely and responsibly in our Running With Your Dog article, but we thought we’d go into more detail about how to choose the right equipment before you head off for a run with your pet pal.

It’s important to remember that not all dogs are cut out for high intensity exercise. This is especially true for short-nosed and short legged breeds like bulldogs or corgis. You also shouldn’t just take out more senior dogs out for a run or force more lethargic dogs to go from next to no exercise to trying to get them to keep up with you on a 5k.

It is strongly recommended that you check with your vet to see if your pet is up for the challenge before taking them out running.

Our small universal side bags for the official IDC® Powerharness range are light and easy to fit, allowing for compact storage for travel or long walks. They also double up as bum bag which you can attach your belt loops.

The Color & Gray Dog Seat Belt Adaptor keeps your dog away from the driver by securing into the seat belt clips on the back seat while also keeping your dog safe and secure.

How to use the seat belt adapter

The adapter was designed for use with IDC® Powerharness with Side Rings. It is recommended two seat belt adapters should be connected, one to each side ring of the Side Ring harness and clipped into the seat belts either side.

It can be attached in two easy steps:

• Attach the clip on the Color & Gray Dog Seat Belt Adaptor to the side ring on your IDC® Powerharnesses with Side Rings.
• Clip the universal buckle adaptor into your car’s seat belt.

WARNING: Do not attach the Seat Belt Adapter only to the Central Ring located at the top of IDC® Powerharnesses.

Our large saddle bags for the official IDC® Powerharness range are both lightweight and simple to fit, allowing for easy storage for travel or long walks. This step-by-step guide outlines how to attach the Large Saddle Bags for IDC® Powerharness for harnesses sized between Size 0 and 4 (M – 3XL).

The Julius K9 IDC® Front Control Y Belt is an attachable chest pad for the IDC® Powerharness. It easily fits to the front of the harness for extra comfort and safety, and also has a D-Ring which allows front leash attachment.

The IDC® Powerharness is the newer, upgraded, version of our original K9-Powerharness®. Through research and development, the IDC^® Powerharness has been designed to be more comfortable, offer improved security and safety, and allow more attachments like safety lights and saddle bags.

Choosing a harness that has the best lead attachment for your dog depends on your walking needs and how well trained your dog is on leash.

Dog harnesses come in three types of lead attachment:

1. Front leash attachment
2. Back leash attachment
3. Duel-clip front and back attachment

Here at Julius K9 all of our leads have back leash attachment, but with our IDC® Control Y Belt With Front D-Ring attachment you can turn any of our IDC® Powerharness products into a Front leash or Duel-clip harness.

Below we breakdown the benefits and potential draw backs of each leash attachment type.

It is recommended that you hand wash all of our harnesses. In this quick guide we breakdown the best methods of keeping your official JULIUS-K9® dog harness clean and fresh.

Basic washing instructions:

• Hand wash only
• Do not bleach
• Do not iron
• Do not dry clean
• Do not tumble dry

Hand wash cleaning guide:

1. Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe off excess mud.
2. Remove all the hook-and-loop labels from the side of the harness. These should be cleaned separately with a warm damp cloth as tough brushes can scrub off the lettering. This will also allow you to wash away any fur and grim built up on the fasteners.
3. Fill your sink or a tub full of hot water and give the harness a good soaking.
4. Using a brush and washing up liquid start scrubbing away

Making sure you have the perfect harness for your pet can take some time to research. So once you’ve decided on a suitable harness for your dog it’s important to make sure it’s the right size and is adjusted correctly.

An incorrectly fitted harness can do a lot more harm than good, and getting it fitted properly will help keep your dog safe, comfortable, and under control.

Whatever harness you have bought, reputable manufacturers will include printed illustrations with guidelines instructing how best to successfully fit and adjust their harnesses. However, sometimes these instructions can confuse owners.

In this article we will hopefully make it clearer to what exactly you should and shouldn’t do when fitting a harness.
