Heidi🐶 helped create the epic ending for this video 🫣
Dog parent, we have a question for you:
Is your dog wearing a harness? A harness of the right shape?🤔
If your answer is "yes", and the harness your dog is wearing looks like the one on Heidi — congratulations!
You have taken good care of your dog's health and safety. ✨
But it's never too late to make the switch. Here are 3 important advantages of a well-fitted harness:
1️⃣ Protects the Sensitive Neck of Your Dog.
Even some pulling happens, the pressure will be distributed through the sternum bone of your dog! Try to feel this yourself as we explain in the video.
2️⃣ Allows Healthier Movement
To move in a healthy way, dogs need to move FREELY.
Free chest, free leg movement, no restrictions by the padding or leash hitting the legs.
3️⃣ You Get a Less Reactive Dog
When dogs feel comfortable in what they wear, and they know that the gear does not hurt, they can finally relax.
A relaxed, calm, stress-free dog is less likely to react to passers-by or jump on other dogs.
Heidi knows about all these benefits too! She even helped us to design a better harness. 🥹
It started out as a project to help our dog behaviour clients, but now we've helped hundreds of dogs around the world to enjoy their walks more.

Don't make the same mistake as me:
I am finally able to share this now after 5 years of learning, grieving and making amends.
Since then I learned a lot about dog anatomy, behaviour and movement.
Dog gear has a HUGE impact on how our dogs move and feel. This can turn around their whole walking experience!
So listen up, here is how to choose the right harness for your dog:
Make sure the harness has:
🟢 Y shape in front:
The metal ring sits on the chest bone to protect the neck and vital organs
🟢 Front straps:
they don't go over the shoulders and allow the dog to move the front legs freely
🟢 Back straps:
they should be far enough from the armpits to prevent friction and allow natural elbow movement.
And when you get the right harness, check the fit regularly!
A few years ago I met Elena, my amazing colleague & friend who had the same dream - to create the most comfortable harness for all types of dogs. Here is how Canuzzo harness was born!
I have to pinch myself to realise that my current dog Heidi is wearing the harness that I co-designed.
And that now hundreds of dogs are enjoying their walks in non-restrictive gear that cares about their health.💛

Only dog parents will understand...
Is it the same for you? 😂
#doghumor
Which one do you have?
Heidi (the big lady with floppy ears) and Ciro (the smaller gentleman) are both 8 years old and come from a shelter...but their personalities could not be more different.
Besides making us laugh daily, they inspired us to design a more comfortable harness for dogs of weird shape!
PS: We did not ask Heidi to sit on command, she simply likes to contemplate and observe the world

Dog Gear Myth Busting - Part 1👇
We've all heard it: Harnesses cause pulling on leash. But is that really true?🤔
We are dog behavior professionals and will bust one myth every week, subscribe not to miss!
Let's get real - when our dogs pull on the leash, it's usually because something's not quite right. Maybe they're feeling stressed or anxious, or maybe they're just trying to sniff out all the good smells. Here are some common reasons why dogs pull:
🟡 You are walking too quickly and the dog learns to rush too
🟡 The dog has a very short leash and cannot sniff as much as they need to
🟡 The dog feels very stressed and does not cope with the walk
🟡 Stress can come from tools that cause pain / too long walks / too many triggers / lack of sleep, so many things!
🟡 The dog cannot slow down because something is off in their body: they are unstable / hurt somewhere, therefore they rush to stabilize
So, what's really going on with harnesses and pulling?✨ Honestly, it's not the harness itself - it's usually a sign of a deeper issue. By figuring out what's really going on, we can often fix the pulling problem without needing to train the dog. And the best part? A comfy, well-fitting harness, like the Canuzzo harness you see on these videos, can actually help your dog relax and pull less.

When we discovered this lifehack✨, our dogs started feeling much better about putting their gear on!🐶
Your dog will thank you too! Their hearing is very sensitive, so loud sound that the buckles on gear make can cause stress. And we don't want to start our walks with stress, right? Instead, we want a calm and relaxed dog who walks slowly, sniffs and does not pull.
Well, every detail matters. Your dog will LOVE this lifehack! And dogs of your friends too, please share 🥰

Our life transformed...
Meet Ciro. 🐶 His early life was tough—he moved through several shelters and three countries in just two years, being adopted and returned. On walks, he wore a collar and a short leash. His pulling was so intense, he would dig into the ground with his front paws, choking on his collar...
The internet suggested all sorts of restrictive solutions—choke collars, pulling back on the leash, making it as short as possible. But what truly made a difference was doing the opposite: giving him more freedom!😳
With an anatomically correct harness and a long lead, our walks transformed. Ciro began to slow down, sniff, and explore. Our bond grew stronger as he started to listen and respond to me. His stress levels dropped significantly, and his newfound freedom brought me peace as well.
