How to Choose the Right Dog Harness

Walking your dog isn’t just about exercise—it’s about comfort, safety, and creating a stress-free bond. The right harness can make every walk smoother for both you and your pup. At Lulu’s from Cali, we’ve designed our harnesses and hands free walking sets with exactly that in mind. Here’s your guide to finding the perfect match.

Why Choose a Harness Instead of a Collar?

Harnesses distribute pressure across the chest instead of the neck, which means:

• No choking or pulling on the throat

• More control for you, especially with strong or energetic dogs

• Extra comfort for puppies, small breeds, or dogs with sensitive airways

That’s why every Lulu’s harness is padded, lightweight, and adjustable—built for everyday comfort.

Step 1: Measure Before You Buy

Sizing matters more than anything. Always measure your dog’s:

• Neck circumference (base of the neck)

• Chest girth (widest part, behind the front legs)

• Weight (to confirm fit)

Our size range runs from XS to L, making it easy to find the right fit.

Step 2: Match Harness to Your Dog’s Needs

• Small Dogs / Puppies → Lightweight Lulu’s harness with soft padding.

• Large Dogs / Pullers → A sturdy fit with thick leash options for more control.

• Calm Strollers → Simple, comfy harness that’s easy to clip on.

• Active Walkers → Pair with our hands-free walking belt for the ultimate freedom.

Step 3: Walk the Way You Love

At Lulu’s from Cali, we know every owner walks differently:

• Long walks or jogs? → Try our hands-free belt, worn cross-body or at the waist, to keep your hands free.

• Training your pup? → Our no-pull design gives you better control.

• Daily strolls? → A back-clip harness with our matching leash and pouch keeps everything simple and stylish.

Step 4: Comfort + Safety = Non-Negotiable

Here’s what we build into every Lulu’s set:

• Adjustable straps for the perfect fit

• Soft, breathable fabrics

• Reflective details for night walks

• Easy on/off buckles—no struggle, just clip and go

Step 5: Make It Your Style

Your harness isn’t just functional—it’s part of your everyday look. That’s why Lulu’s from Cali offers full sets in beautiful shades like blush pink, matcha green, Cali blue, cherry red, espresso brown, oat beige, orange, and black. Whether you’re going minimal, bold, or chic, you can build the set that matches your vibe.

With a Lulu’s harness and walking set, you’re not just buying gear—you’re creating freedom, safety, and style for every walk.
