Casual Collar and Harness ECO Fit Guide

Quick Answer

For a secure and comfortable fit, adjust the Casual Collar ECO to sit high on the neck with two fingers of slack, and the Casual Harness ECO to allow a snug but not tight fit with the chest pad centered on the sternum.

Step-by-Step Fitting Process

1. Measure your dog's neck and girth: Use a soft tape measure to get the neck circumference (for the collar) and the widest part of the chest behind the front legs (for the harness). Refer to the size chart to choose the correct size. Check that the collar and harness sizes match your dog's measurements before adjusting.
2. Fit the Casual Collar ECO: Place the collar high on the neck, just behind the ears. You should be able to slip two fingers between the collar and the neck. The collar should be snug but not tight when the leash is slack. If the collar is too loose, it may slip over the head; if too tight, it can cause discomfort or breathing issues.
3. Adjust the Casual Harness ECO: Put the harness on your dog and adjust the straps so that the chest pad sits flat against the sternum, not too high or too low. The girth strap should be snug but allow one finger to slide underneath. Ensure the harness does not rub under the armpits. Check that your dog can move freely and that the harness stays in place without rotating.
4. Test the fit with a walk: Take your dog for a short walk and observe how the collar and harness behave. The collar should tighten only when the leash pulls and loosen when slack. The harness should not chafe or cause your dog to walk abnormally. Re-adjust if you notice any signs of rubbing, slipping, or excessive tightening.
5. Regularly re-check the fit: Especially for growing puppies or dogs that gain/lose weight, re-check the fit monthly. Adjust straps as needed to maintain a comfortable and safe fit. Mark the current strap position with a pen or take a photo to easily revert if you adjust too far.

Product Facts

• Casual puolikuristava panta ECO: The Casual Collar ECO is a half-check collar that stays comfortably loose and tightens to a limited degree when the leash becomes taut. This design allows quick slipping on and off during training while providing gentle correction, but requires a correct fit to prevent over-tightening.

  

• Casual valjas ECO: The Casual Harness ECO features padded, supportive construction made from recycled webbing and padding, designed for daily walks and activities. The padding and ergonomic design reduce strain on the neck and distribute pressure, making it suitable for dogs that pull, but only if adjusted to sit correctly on the body.
