Canicross Starter Kit - For small dogs (Howling Dog Alaska)
- Sold By: Howling Dog Alaska

Who says smaller dogs can’t enjoy the same outdoor activities as larger dogs? This package has all you need to get you out running with your dog.
Harness
The Mini Second Skin™ Harness is an ultra-light and ultra-modern harness. It is made out of a breathable and quick-drying mesh fabric. This harness is very comfortable for the dog to wear and it is suitable for any activity where the point of attachment is higher or even with the dog’s back.
Available in Red & Black or Black & Yellow
Line
This line is made out of customized, eye-catching Howling Dog webbing. The line is fitted with bungee which will help to absorb shocks from your dog unexpectedly "jerking" you around. The line measures about 166 cm unstretched. It features a strong bronze snap.
Available in Red or Yellow
Belt
Lightweight yet sturdy Canicross Belt is made from compressed, porous, water-resistant material and ensures good extended pulling power. It is recommended to fasten the belt around the hips in order to limit pressure on stomach muscles. Our "step in" belt features a unique "lowered pull force" design that helps to distribute the pull force to only the hip area covered by the belt as well as the buttocks. This eliminates pressure on the spine. Careful adjustment of the buttocks straps will bring the "lowered pull force" into play. Once the belt is properly fitted, the excess straps can be trimmed. A wide reflective tape has been added for an enhanced nighttime visibility. Plus you will love the practical back pocket!
Leg straps are removable.
One size fits all.
IMPORTANT! The side loops on the belt are simply for clipping things on to (for example a neckline, a dog poop baggie holder, a set of keys or any other small object). Dogs MUST be attached to the metal ring only.

Measuring Guide
We require only one measurement for this Harness: the Neck.
Neck - Measure from just ahead of the withers at the base of the neck to the top of the breastbone, then double this measurement. Work the tape under the fur; pull it snug, but not stretched. Measure the dog, not the fur!
Measure only one side of the dog, and then double the measurement. Wrapping the tape measure all the way around the neck may distort the measurement.
Do not measure where the collar sits, but lower - please see the heavy black line on the above diagram.
