Custom Weight Pull Harnesses

Custom made weight pulling harnesses are custom made to fit your
dog based on its measurements and to your specifications in design,
fabric, and color.  I can also customize your harness in regards to the
placement of the spreader bar, the length of the spreader bar,  the
length of the harness (longer or shorter), and any other "tweaking" of
the harness to truely make it a customized harness.

The harness is made of 2" wide webbing through out the harness.  It is
padded with polar fleece along the sides, breast, and around the
neck.  The spreader bar is made from 1" oak and taped.  A 2" welded
stainless steel D ring is used for the hookup point.  You can pick from
a large assortment of colors for the webbing and fleece.

                 Neoprene vs. Taped Foam Padding
    I highly recommend the neoprene padding vs. the taped foam
padding around the neck.  The neoprene is 1/4" flat rubber that is
sandwiched between the webbing and the fleece around the neck.  It
is soft and pliable, and will conform to the dog's neck unlike the taped
foam which is hard and stiff.  I use the neoprene on all my competition
dogs' harnesses.

Example of accent
striping.  This one is of
Fiesta Chili peppers.
The accent striping is
fabric or ribbon that is
sewn onto the webbing
of the harness.  It is
done through out the
harness.  Unlike other
harness makers, you
are not limited to a
small selection of
fabrics.  Give me an
idea of what you would
like, and I will search
for that perfect fabric.  
If you already  have that
perfect fabric, I will
build the harness
around that fabric.
Base price for a custom harness for dogs that fit
into a size small or less would be $40
