Sizing & Measuring
Finding the right size is simple. To get the best fit, take these 3 measurements:
- Full Neck – Measure around the full neck (A to B × 2)
- Full Length – Measure from the breastbone to the base of the tail
- Last Rib – Measure from the breastbone to the last rib
Example Size
20" Neck × 28" Length × 18" Last Rib
Black Tug Size Note
If ordering a Black Tug, please include your dog’s age, weight, and breed in the notes at checkout. This size is often ordered too small, and this helps ensure the best fit while avoiding exchanges.
Optional Belly Band Upgrade
Add an adjustable belly band to your X-Back Harness for extra support and security.
Made with lightweight webbing and a lightweight snap, the belly band fits most X-Back Harnesses.
Benefits:
- Helps prevent dogs from backing out of the harness
- Adds support while the harness is loose-fitting when not pulling
- Can help some dogs feel calmer and more confident while wearing the harness
- Runs underneath the dog and attaches through both sides of the harness at the last rib
- Fully adjustable with no specific sizing required

Scooterjoring with my pup has been so much fun! Harness is lightweight and easy to use, he just walks in and has even learned to lift each paw to take on/off.
Fit my 42 lb cattle dog mix out of the box. She's comfortable and pulls well with it on.
I won't own any other harness. This is top of the line!!
Fantastic harnesses for a great price.
Good quality perfect fit for my dogs
