Most common mistakes in using rehabilitation harness back
To ensure the harness properly supports your dog’s movement, it’s important to avoid a few common mistakes:
Lifting the hindquarters too high
The harness should only support the dog’s movement. The hind legs should remain in contact with the ground, and the dog should move independently.
Too loose or too tight a fit
An improperly fitted harness can cause discomfort or fail to provide stability. The harness should fit snugly against the body without causing pressure.
Replacing movement with full support
Movement is an important part of rehabilitation. The harness should assist with walking, not completely replace the dog’s activity.
Using it for too long at once
Support should be adjusted to the dog’s abilities and rehabilitation recommendations. Shorter, more frequent sessions are better.
A properly fitted harness should not cause pressure or restrict the natural movement of the limbs.
