SD Product Announcement: Mobility Harness

For those of us who need a good, sturdy mobility harness that isnt going to slip, slide, shift, or otherwise move around when we need it most but is still lightweight enough for all-day wear and comfortable enough not to cause chaffing... hold on to your handles.

Katrina over at Bold Lead Designs has come up with something we think will fit the bill and Ranger and I can't wait to get our hands on one to try it out!!

Bold Lead Designs' Mobility Support Harness:

(Brace and Balance ambulatory/walking assistance harness for service dogs)
Katrina's diagram is much better at pointing out all the best details here.  My favorite part is that the handle is adjustable - AND - folds down!  (how many times have we gotten a handle caught on a chair or the edge of a table, etc?!)  Its also a light-weight coming in at just 2.5 pounds (3 pounds for the big dogs!) but packs a lot of stability into that.  Padded to reduce chaffing and metal pieces that will not rust!  Truly made to last and withstand all of the different situations we find ourselves in (rain, sleet, snow... puddles, table glass spills at resturants, etc).  And, all of the straps are adjustable making it truly able to fit even the most oddly shaped, growing dogs!  Since she makes the harnesses herself, Katrina works closely with you to make sure you get exactly the right fit for you and your teammate - how cool is that?!   If you're in the Denver area, you can even go to her and have it fitted. 

In addition to the harness, I have to share my *happy* thing with all of you.  My lost blue leash?  The mulit-configurable leash?  The one I lost in the move and tried to replace with the costal pets but it just "wasn't quite the same?"  -- Guess what? -  Katrina makes these multi-form leashes in *leather!*  -- YES!  For all of you who are not trainers, having a leather leash truly does make a HUGE difference.  For one, its easier on your hands, easier to grip and maintain a grip, and it wont fray like the nylon leads do.  Katrina makes these in 5, 7 and 8 foot leads, but if that's not the right size for you, let her know!  She can work with you on just about anything (and she's SUPER nice!) to make sure you get the product you're looking for!

Of course, Katrina's site has a wide variety of other leashes, head leads, collars, etc - all in leather of course - and all look stunning.
