Fitting the Harness

Please note the new models of the Help Em Up harness do not have clips at the base of the neck. The harness is slid over the dog's head like a collar. Also, the latest modifications mean only around 10-15% of male dogs need the u-band style hip lift.

Step 5 - Now you can walk your dag with the added ability of supporting them as little or as much as they require. Placing it further forward allows you to support the sternum and putting it further back lets you support them while they squat to defecate. Lengthening the strap allows you to get your shoulder under it.
