Design Features:

Bold Lead Designs has perfected the no-pull, front-clip walking harness making the Connected Control™ Harness (CCH) the only leather harness of its kind. 

The front connection on the dog’s chest discourages pulling by gently re-directing the dog’s movement back around toward you. The back connection at the shoulders is great for slowing/controlling your dog’s body position or restraining (if needed). Both points can be used together with a multifunctional (double-ended) leash!

Humane & Functional Design: This body harness does not restrain the dog’s head or face. There is no pressure on the dog’s throat which eliminates choking and neck strain. The Y-shaped breast collar minimizes restriction the dog’s shoulder blades and shoulder strain. 

Adjustable & Easy to Use:  This harness has 5 adjustment points to assure a perfect fit for your dog’s individual body! Adjustments can be made around the shoulders, girth/chest, and between the front legs. Initial fit adjustments can take a little time, but once it’s fit to your dog properly, the harness is very easy to use. Each harness is made with durable metal Quick-Release buckles, which are easy to operate and are excellent for those with limited strength or dexterity.

Comfortable: Our soft and durable leather is gentle on the dog’s coat, and doesn’t irritate or damage fur like nylon straps can. For your dog’s comfort, the edges of all straps are beveled, plus it’s designed to keep the hardware away from the dog’s elbows to prevent irritation. Harness comes with a FREE neoprene pad for the top to keep your dog comfortable. 

Note: This is not a pulling harness. It should not be used for weight pulling, cart pulling, wheelchair pulling, skijoring, tracking, balance, etc. This harness is not intended as a seat belt restraint and it has not been tested for this purpose.

Sizing & Measuring

Measuring:

This is a very sturdy harness for dogs 50 pounds and up.

Please measure your dog’s girth, which is behind the front legs around the deepest part of the chest. We recommend using a fabric measuring tape or a piece of string. Always measure before ordering to ensure a proper fit and measure 3 times for accuracy! Weight and breeds are listed for reference, but do not replace the importance of measuring. 

Sizing:

Small: DISCONTINUED – due to the substantial nature of the straps and hardware, this harness is too heavy/bulky for smaller dogs

Medium: girth/chest size of 28-32″ (71-81 cm); dogs approximately 50-70 pounds

• Available only in leather, 3/4″ wide or 1″ wide straps
• Suggested breeds: Aussie, Small Lab or Golden Retriever, Husky, large Pit Bull, large Standard Poodle, Malinois, Weimaraner

Med/Large for deep chested dogs: girth/chest size of 32-35″ (81-90 cm); dogs approximately 60-80 pounds

• Available in only leather, 3/4″ wide or 1″ wide straps
• Suggested breeds: large and tall Retrievers, larger Weimaraner, smaller German Shepherd or Doberman

BLD’s Mobility Support Harness™ (MSH)

This is not your average service dog harness!

BLD’s world-famous service dog harness is designed to provide balance and stability support for people with balance or mobility impairments. We have designed these harnesses with the dog’s physical structure and movement in mind and then added features to make it user-friendly and truly accessible. This is the most stable, ergonomic and functional service dog harness available! 

The Mobility Support Harness can

• • assist with balance and stability support while standing or walking
  • help maintain a regular gait
  • assist with getting up from a seated position.  
  • can be used for occasional light bracing (while the dog is standing)
  • accommodate a leather handle to add more functionality such as pulling
  • when a Support Pull Handle is added, provide counterbalance, momentum pull, and leading/guiding 

Guided by canine sports medicine experts, canine physical therapists, and a veterinary orthopedic surgeon, BLD’s unique harness design allows the dog to move, breathe, and work with minimal impact from the equipment. Weight and pressure are properly distributed across the dog’s body for optimal performance of physical assistance tasks. Similar to a horse saddle, this harness sits just behind the withers (or shoulders), around the dog’s center of gravity. When fit properly, it does not wobble, shift, pinch or rub the dog. It is lightweight, sturdy, and very comfortable.

Every harness is custom made by hand in our own Colorado workshop. Crafting each harness to order is how we provide the right fit for the dog while meeting each user’s individual needs.

Proper fit is assured by our Great Fit Guarantee. Our famous Lifetime Warranty, plus BLD’s excellent customer support, is standard with everything we make in our workshop.

Allow 4-6 weeks for your harness to be crafted to order.

• Saddle is made with special padding to offload pressure from the dog's back and prevent strain on the spine
• Sheepskin lining on saddle, breastplate, girth, and belly straps provide proper cushion to prevent pinching or rubbing, as well as optimal structural support for the function of the harness

• The MSH is for dogs over 60 pounds (27 kg) that are large and strong enough to perform this physically demanding work for their partner

Designed to last for decades

This harness has been designed with interchangeable straps for the greatest flexibility; perfect for adapting a harness to fit a new dog or user. You may order replacement parts any time you need them. Support handles are replaceable if the harness is built to accommodate the height you need. In fact, we regularly help customers re-fit harnesses onto 3rd and 4th successor dogs (when the dogs fit the same size saddle). See replacement parts here.

We are equipment experts and are happy to help you through this process. We understand that there is a lot of information, so we have put together a Complete Information Booklet for you to use as you become familiar with what options we offer.

Sizing

MSH Harness Size: 

ABSOLUTE MINMUM SIZE REQUIREMENT: This harness will NOT fit dogs that are smaller than the minimum recommended 45 pounds, 21inches tall, or with a girth size less than 28 inches.

Leather Color

Standard Colors:

• Black: Solid black latigo leather is our standard offering.  Because the leather is solid black all the way through it does not fade, hides the appearance of scuffs, and wears beautifully over time.

• London Tan: Gorgeous vegetable-tanned bridle leather. Color and shades will vary; each part of the harness may be a different shade. Tan leather naturally appears rustic and may show scuffs and wear. Over time the leather develops a unique and beautiful patina that becomes a darker as it ages.

Specialty and limited edition colors:

• Specialty leather in red, white and blue: A fine pigmented latigo leather with a firm, satin surface that is resistant to scuffs. Main body and breast collar will be made in the selected color. Handle, tabs, and other components are black.
• Limited edition colors may be available! While supplies last, we have some gorgeous colorfast bridle leather to make your harness even more bespoke. Main body and breast collar will be made in the selected color. Handle, tabs, and other components are black.

Example of a red harness. Example of semi-rigid leather handles with color core.

The main body and breastplate will be made in your chosen color. The handle, straps, and smaller parts will be black. 

Clip-on handle: Minimal, low profile option clips onto heavy-duty d-rings toward the top of the harness saddle. Makes a good second handle for occasional tasks like getting up from a seated position, or for occasional momentum assistance. Can be made to any length/height. Available as a Short Grab Handle sized so it’s just enough to get ahold of for the shortest handle possible (about 2.5 inches)

Support Pull Handle - highly recommended!  Designed for heavier momentum and pulling needs. Provides optimal pulling pressure distribution. Handle attaches to d-rings with spring snap clips. “Mouse ear” loops keep the handle in position at a slight angle back. This handle drops a bit when you let go of it, has a looser feel than A or B, but is best for those who need moderate gait stabilization, a sturdy momentum pull, and guiding/leading. - Most popular as a second handle in the semi-rigid style!

All leather handles that are 4.5" or higher will have a horizontal brace strap to stabilize the U-shape. These can be imprinted with "ASSISTANCE DOG" OR "SERVICE DOG" if desired.

 Example of imprinted brace straps and semi-rigid handles with color cores:

Also available: Leather Guide Handle

Contact us if you'd like to order one. This is an older handle style and is not typically recommended. The Support Pull handle is the best choice for most people, as it is sturdier and offers more support and directional feedback than the Leather Guide handle.

More Customization 

The BAH is made with easy to use quick release latches on one side of the harness, and adjustment buckles on the other side. To put the harness on your dog, you only need to use two latches!

Choose Latch Option for Girth and Belly Straps:

• Quick-Release Buckles (Default standard option): All metal buckles are easy to operate. Spring-loaded side release style requires little pressure to open.
• One-Hand latch operation ($): D-rings placed near the quick-release make it easier to grasp the straps and fasten with one hand.
• Magnetic Latches ($): These special latches are easy to use and are secure. Ideal for those with very limited strength and dexterity and allows for one-handed operation. The magnets self-align and hook closed when fastening the straps and easily release by pulling the red tabs. These latches include D-rings for easy grasp when fastening the straps on your dog.

Sizing

BAH Harness size: 

Balance Handle (vertical) - most popular in semi-rigid style

The Balance Handle is positioned vertically on the harness. It is stabilized to provide excellent feedback and communication with your dog for counterbalance, stability and proprioception while walking or standing. Mounts low on the harness saddle with quick-release buckles, and is kept upright with heavy-duty O-rings. Folds flat by unclipping the quick-release buckles and pivoting back.

Available flexible or semi-rigid for increased sturdiness and feedback. Flexible handles soften over time and slump when not in use. Semi-Rigid handles are designed to hold their form and stand upright, making it accessible for grasping without bending over. (Not a brace handle–it will flex with direct pressure to diffuse movement and minimize torque on the dog.) You may also choose a handle core color for semi-rigid handles to add a pop of fun contrast!

Clip-on handle 

Minimal, low profile option clips onto heavy-duty d-rings toward the top of the harness saddle. Makes a good second handle for occasional tasks like getting up from a seated position, or for occasional momentum assistance. Can be made to any length/height. Also available as a Short Grab Handle sized so it’s just enough to get ahold of for the shortest handle possible (about 2.5 inches)

More Customization

The BAH is made with easy to use quick release latches on one side of the harness, and adjustment buckles on the other side. To put the harness on your dog, you only need to use two latches! 

Choose Latch Option for Girth and Belly Straps:

Harness Care

Leather care is easy!

Luckily, these specialized harnesses are easy to clean and maintain! Simply apply leather conditioner regularly to keep harness supple & weather resistant and clean the wool lining using a brush and vacuum. This kit has everything you need: Get a Harness Cleaning Kit here!  

Don’t worry too much, and don’t be afraid to use your items — we promise leather is incredibly resilient, and regular weather won’t hurt it. If you think your item looks dirty, dry, or just need a little extra love, pouring a little leather conditioner on a cloth, and rubbing it in like lotion will usually do the trick. Your harness can also be hand washed if needed. 

Important Notes

Important Notes: please read this before ordering

Due to the custom nature of this special harness, returns and refunds are not available on this product.

At Bold Lead Designs, we take the health and safety of your dog seriously. We have created these guidelines based on over 15 years of experience with this specialized equipment. 

Dogs must be physically mature and of appropriate size, fitness and soundness for the work you would like them to perform. Mobility, stability, and balance assistance work are physically demanding. A service dog should always be in prime physical condition to remain healthy.

Age, Size and Fitness:

Dogs should be at least 18 months of age before beginning harness work. The dog’s growth plates must be closed before starting to train a dog for harness work. This happens for most large breed dogs at 18-24 months of age and giant breeds need even longer to mature. Please allow your dog time to grow and mature as rushing into harness work may cause injury and shorten your dog’s working life. Additionally, if the harness is ordered too soon it will cost you significantly more money if your dog outgrows the harness.
Dogs MUST be in our recommended weight/measurement range set forth in the sizing guide for the harness to fit and function properly.
We want to see properly exercised, fit, lean, muscular dogs! Overweight dogs should never be expected to perform load bearing tasks; additionally, obesity contributes to serious health risks and can significantly shorten a dog’s lifespan. Consider implementing an exercise and fitness routine when the dog is “off duty” to keep him/her in good shape.

Consult the Pros:

Consulting a qualified veterinarian (orthopedic specialist or canine sports medicine physical therapist) is highly recommended for all service/assistance dogs that perform physical tasks. Radiographs (x-rays) or other tests may be recommended by the vet and are required by most service dog training organizations to determine if the dog is suitable for the demands of service dog work.
Harness users should consult a physician and physical therapist to determine what medical equipment is appropriate for their mobility needs. BLD harnesses are not intended to serve as, or to replace, a durable medical device such as a cane, walker, or crutch. Please understand that one should never lean on a dog to stay upright. Rigid metal handles must not be pushed or pulled on while the dog is in motion. Such use is not how the harness is intended to be used and could put the dog at risk for injury.

———————————

Fit and performance of the equipment can only be assured if the dog meets the minimum recommended standards, the user and trainer have reasonable expectations, and when the equipment is used responsibly for the purpose it was designed.
Our equipment is designed to allow an appropriately selected and trained service dog to reasonably assist a person with a balance, mobility impairment, or other disability that requires specialty service dog gear. BLD cannot assess a dog’s suitability or appropriateness. Users assume all responsibility for the safety, health, and care of the animal and human alike.

In your dog’s best interest, please understand that BLD may decline an order if we believe a harness could be harmful to the dog because of age, size, or unreasonable expectations.
