[NAGDU] Harness Strap Width

[The Pawpower Pack]

Hi Lisie, 
Sometimes you have to try different harnesses to find the one that works. I might suggest a harness with a martingale. This is a strap that runs from the chest strap, between the dog's front legs, and connects to the belly strap.  It helps keep things stable in my experience.

It's not as stable, easily leans to one side, and often doesn't sit well on my dog. It's very simple, which I love. It's just a girth strap and a chest strap, each made of beautiful brown latigo leather, with white stitching, but is unpadded, all straps uniformly just under 1" and single ply leather. I'm also doubting my decision to order a harness without the bunny ear stabilizers....
