Great collar for shorthaired dogs! The Padded Collar is made out of 1 inch light weight wide nylon webbing, featuring small but extremely strong D-ring. Semi-adjustable style allows the collar to slip easily over the dog's head. Closed cell padding. Great for shorthaired dogs and dogs with chronic collar rub. Attractive design featuring reflective strip. Matching leash available. Chained up dogs will often "curl up" in their dog house to go to sleep, resulting in the snap touching the ear, often freezing to the thin tissue. The use of our padded semi-choke collar minimizes the occurrence of frost bite in sub freezing temperatures on ears of such dogs (especially pointer crosses) by bringing the snap and the chain further away from the dog's head. |

Distance Harness The harness of choice for four time Iditarod champion Jeff King .

Independent consumer reviews of this product. |
DISTANCE HARNESS: Our Distance Harness has been
designed with the priceless expertise of three time
Iditarod champion Jeff King. The harness only reaches
about half way down the dog's body, which eliminates
the pressure on the dog's hips. Closed cell padding
around the neck, adjustable body strap, and reflective
tape.More
harness information.
DISTANCE HARNESS AS A SKIJORING HARNESS: The Distance Harness is the harness of choice for skijoring, bikejoring, canicross and dog trekking (see below). Ideal for the use with Springer (a device that mounts on your bike). An ideal harness for roading. Can also be used as a "truck" harness. This multi-use harness was originally designed for use with police dogs for tracking, leading, and guarding, and has also become popular as a walking harness for pet dog owners.No more choking for hard pulling dogs! Double wide breast plate and an adjustable chest strap.The Distance Harness works better for skijoring than the standard sled dog harness. The line angle between the dog and the skijorer (or biker, runner) is steeper than the line angle between a dog team and a sled. When a skijoring line is connected to a typical X-back harness, the steeper angle will cause a lifting force on the harness. The design of the Distance Harness creates a flatter line angle and the dog's pull force is more evenly distributed. For more detailed information about our Distance Harness and for it's development info click here. This harness is impossible for a dog to back out of! Excellent choice of a harness for any dog with lower back problems! measurement A - around the neck below the collar Sizes: XS 17 inches (30 - 40 lb), S 18-19 inches (40 - 50 lb), M 20 inches (50 - 60 lb), L 22 inches (60 - 70 lb), XL 23-24 (70 - 80 lb) inches, XXL 25 inches (80 - 100+ lb) Webbing colors |

Our skijoring equipment is used and recommended by Sona Klikarova, the IFSS Skijoring World Champion and IFSS Canicross World Champion.

This belt is made from compressed, porous, water
resistant materials and ensures good extended pulling
power. It is recommended to fasten the belt around the
hips in order to limit pressure on stomach muscles. The

helps to distribute the pull force to only the hip area
covered by the belt as well as the buttocks. This
eliminates pressure on the spine. Careful adjustment of
the buttocks straps will bring the "lowered pull force"
into play. The most comfortable and professionally
designed skijor belt on the market today. One size fits
all. Comes in black color only. ManMat dog team logo
embroidered on back side.
