SPORTY PAWS MANTRAILING HARNESS (1)
How to fit the harness
Adjust the straps leading to the neck element so that the upper edge of the chest padding is at the tibia and the padding is flat against the chest. At the distance between the neck and the back element, make sure that the hoop is not behind the line of the two hind legs of the dog. Slide the back element so far back that the back straps of the chest pad do not obstruct the front legs. The straps should be tight enough to allow your hand to fit under the back part but not too loose as this may cause the harness to move sideways while the dog is moving.
In a ‘non pull’ position, the harness may seem too loose — the neck element, adjustable bridge element and back element may slip slightly however this will stop as soon as the dog pulls forward. The straps and elements will then all be in place.
Please note that embroidered harnesses are not exchangeable or refundable and take 4 weeks from order.

Love the SP Mantrailing harness! As an Instructor I have the whole size range as I love the versitility of them due the the multiple adjustment points which means they are able to fit a wide range of dogs at my classes. Great to have a colour option to choose from too! Great value for money.

We love the Mantrailing harness! great colours and as a Mantrailing UK Instructor, we have tried the medium size on a variety of dogs!
We found the level of adjustment reasonable to cover a range of shapes and the clips were secure, without any movement or loosening under pulling power!
Imanje Pet Services are more than happy to add these harnesses to our trailing kit and highly recommend them.

We love the colour range and adjustability of the Sporty Paws Mantrailing harness. As a Mantrailing UK Instructor, we have tested this on a number of our (medium) sized dogs of all shapes, and pulling ability.
We found the clips to be secure under pressure, with no loosening of the straps and having that extra bungee elastic on the back is a welcome addition to save that initial jerk by enthusiastic trailers.
A great value for money harness that we will happily have in our training kit and recommend to our clients.

As a very keen Mantrailer, I have found the SP harness excellent. My young labrador is strong when trailing and the bungee on the back helps a great deal. I have used a medium sized harness which gave plenty of adjustability to fit all shapes of dog., including mine. There is a super range of colours to choose from…as I know we all like to be cooordinated! Once fitted onto my dog, everything remained secure under the pressure of her working. Would strongly recommend as other harnesses have been less satisfactory. This is also a very good firm to do business with.

Have an x-small harness on a spaniel. It fits her really well and is easy for her to trail in. Great range of colours and straps adjust well and securely to allow her an individual fit as she is quite broad chested.

Absolutely love this harness! It fits well, doesn’t loosen even with a very very strong dog and makes the dog feel balanced in your hand. I use a size large on a large male lab who is very strong and does not let up for the whole trail. I have found that some of my clients dogs have excelled in their trailing due to switching to this harness meaning the dog must be more comfortable and able to focus on the job while wearing it. Thanks Sporty Paws!

I’ve been trying this harness for a few months now and can honestly say it is the best Mantrailing harness I have used.
My Coonhound is a very strong puller when on the trail and other harnesses have always put pressure on his windpipe, this one does not. Reasonable price for what it is too.

Purchased this harness and have used it a few times now. Perfect for Mantrailing, love the colour, we went for purple. It’s very secure, fully adjustable and Echo feels balanced whilst trailing.
Shout out to Danni who messaged me to say part of my order would be delayed due to stock (not the harness) and we arranged for my items to be sent separately. Great customers service. Would recommend.
