Howling Dog Alaska Caniski Belt
This professionally designed, lightweight, and very comfortable Canicross / Skijoring Belt ensures well distributed extended pulling power.
It is recommended to fasten the belt around the hips to limit pressure on the 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 and the front strap will bring the "lowered pull force" into play. Once the belt is properly fitted, the excess straps can be trimmed.
The belt features a nice size pocket to put your valuables in and reflective tape for increased nighttime visibility. The pocket is 6.5 inches wide, 4.5 inches tall, and 1.5 inches deep.
Leg straps are removable. One size fits all.
Minimum waist strap adjustment: approximately 27 inches
Maximum waist strap adjustment: approximately 50 inches
Color: Yellow/black
Howling Dog Alaska Distance Harness
Excellent harness for skijoring, bikejoring, scootering or even walking your dogs. Reaching only about a third of the way down the dog's body, it eliminates pressure on the dogs hips. This makes the distance harness a popular choice for distance mushers running the Yukon Quest and Iditarod.
Comes in red/black, blue/black, green/black, and pink/black, lightblue/white
Sizes XXS - XXXL
How to measure for a proper harness fit: Measure the circumference of your dog’s neck from an inch or so above the shoulder blades to an inch or so above the breastbone and back, then compare that measurement to the sizing chart. If the neck size and suggested weight don’t match, go with the bigger harness to ensure the body strap won't sit too close to the dog's armpits.

XXS 14 inches (20 - 29 lbs.)
XS 17 inches (30 - 39 lbs.)
S 18-19 inches (40 - 49 lbs.)
