**You MUST select the correct WEIGHT for your dog in the drop down menu to ensure your order processes correctly.**
A special note about ribboned harnesses. Adding Ribbon to a harness will add an elegant, flashy zest to your harness that will create lots of "AWE" appeal. When choosing a ribbon, the ribbon width must be NO wider than the webbing width chosen on the order (i.e. 3/4" webbing must have a ribbon no larger than 3/4"). It is suggested that the ribbon actually be slightly smaller than the webbing (i.e. 5/8" ribbon to 3/4" webbing), this will cause the webbing to be an accent color which will make the ribbon "pop" even more.
In order to achieve proper fit, we will need additional measurements of your dog. Print and Fill out the CM4 Form (see below), to assist you with the checkout process.

This Step by Step guide will help you in the measurement process. Once you have reviewed this Guide, please print out the Measurement Form below to fill in while measuring your pup.
CART HARNESS MEASUREMENT FORM - CM4 - (PDF)
This Form allows you to write your pups measurements as you measure. You'll need this to finish the order process.
Here's a video to help:
Regarding Traces: With the increased variety of carts available these days it will be best if you can supply us with the length of Traces you will need. Simply Measure from "Point M" (listed on Form) to where the Traces connect to the cart, supply that measurement in the "Traces Length" section below and we will send the appropriate Traces. This measurement does not have to be exact since the traces are adjustable. If you do not know the length of the Traces because you do not have your cart yet, simply tell us "you pick" and we'll pick the most popular length for your breed/size of dog. Keeping in mind that you may have to make adjustments to the carts Traces connections when you finally get it to make everything work cohesively.
MEASURING TIP
We always suggest having a partner assist you while measuring your dog. The partner can distract your dog with treats/toys and keep their attention while you measure. Also, your dog must be standing straight and looking forward. This will keep your measurements consistent and accurate.
It is also a good idea to take your dogs measurements (3) separate times and then average those measurements to give you a good baseline. Feel free to call us for any additional pointers on measuring your pooch.
If you prefer to have us average your measurements for you, simply supply the measurements (in inches) to us inside each measurement field provided on this page when ordering. (I.E. 14, 15, 13.5)
When choosing your dogs webbing width it is always suggested that any dog over 30lbs should wear a 1" width webbing strap, this helps to spread the weight distribution over a larger area.

ATTENTION: Due to the increased popularity of our harnesses and the fact that they are "Made to order" (meaning: we get your measurements and we make it to fit your companion) we have had to extend our production times on all harnesses to 4-6 weeks. We appreciate your patience during this busy time and feel free to call us directly if you need a harness by a particular deadline. We'll do our best to accommodate your needs.
