Better With Each Design

Trail Tested Promise

The Switchbak Harness has the padded comfort of an everyday dog harness with handle, plus the bonus functionality carrying small essentials. The two low-profile zippered pockets have room to stash those day-to-day necessities like pick-up bags, a leash, or some treats.

It features two leash attachment options: a V-ring centered on the back and a reinforced webbing loop at the chest, great for redirecting dogs that pull on leash. Dial in the right fit with high adjustability and a padded belly strap - critical for stable gear carry and when giving a little boost with the low-profile handle. All in all, the Switchbak melds comfort and convenience into a performance harness ready for both town and trail.

Get it before it's gone
Sorry that this is being discontinued! Great for small trips and not in the way. Fits great on my German Shepherd. Got a second for my future Australian Shepherd since I'm not sure how long they'll be in stock... Get one before it's gone!

Perfect!
Took my dog out on our first hike with. the new harness. He's really deep chested and it fit him perfectly with the third strap!
You can fit keys, phone treats and bags in there! Perfect for a day hike.

Fits perfectly and works great!
I got the Large/X large for my Boxer who is 80lbs and has a 32” barrel chest. I was worried if it would fit since boxers are so hard to find anything to fit but it fits perfectly!! He will run around and play, roll in the grass and has no issues with getting twisted or getting his legs caught or anything. I have not yet used the pockets but love that they are there and available for use. I am so happy with this product and how well it works!
