The standard style is similar to the type of harness used by the American schools.  The sport style has a Y shape to the front of the harness, meaning there are straps that go over the dogs shoulders and meet in front at the top of the breastbone.  Then there is a martingale that goes between the dog's front legs to keep the harness in place.
