Product tip: The Freemotion harness 5.0
The Freemotion harness 5.0 is developed specifically for dog-powered sports like canicross.
The classic Y-shaped front allows free shoulder movement and breathing constraints. The pull force is evenly distributed over your dog's body without putting pressure on their spine. When leaning into the harness, the power of each stride is utilized to the maximum, turning running together into a whole new experience for both you and your dog.
The Freemotion harness 5.0 offers an even more secure fit for my dogs whilst maintaining its unrivaled strength and durability, says Ben Robinson, 3x World champion in canicross.
