Non-Stop Free Motion harness, review

DAY 1 - Free motion harness arrived! Thanks to www.innerwolf.co.uk for such a quick dispatch. Out of the bag it goes, dogs are getting quite excited for the smell of used harness. The concept of this working harness is based on traditional x-back harness but without limitations or pressure points on the rib cage and total freedom of lower body from shoulders down. I found it quite strange at the beginning that nothing besides solid straps around shoulders, neck and upper chest actually holds the dog. Extension of shoulder straps creates a fluid line from chest through upper shoulders to the bottom of the spine allowing for immaculate fit. This is one of the reasons that power produced by a running dog is distributed evenly without creating any pressure on breathing tract. There's plenty of adjustment straps to have a go at if things are a little lose here and there. I have to admit that beside quality material that doesn't attract hair and is easy to clean this harness looks pretty sleek. It comes in 9 sizes, I am testing size 7 with adult dog weighting 36kg and being average size athletic Malamute. It is very snug on him although straps around his neck are a bit tight for my liking - he doesn't seem to mind at the moment but I will revisit it after first run on the scooter and his performance. So long until the weather is cool enough for a morning run.
