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.
