Julius-K9 Mantrailing Dog Harness
A dog harness suitable for outdoor activities where the dog is on the lead. During mantrailing, the dog is looking for a specific person, following his unique odour in any area. The Julius-K9 mantrailing dog harness has been designed specifically for outdoor activities and searching for people. The anatomically perfectly fitting dog harness with an elastic leash anchor provides optimum comfort for the dog even when it exerts a significant pulling force. During the design of the harness, we paid attention to ensuring that the load should be distributed only on the chest instead of the neck.
APPLYING THE JK9®MANTRAILING HARNESS
When applying the JK9®Mantrailing harness you can hold the dog between your feet with your knees in front of the dog’s hind legs. In case she’s uncomfortable with this, you can also put the harness on from standing beside her. If the dog is not disturbed by pulling the dog harness over her head, it is sufficient to unfasten only the two buckles of the back element in order to apply the harness. The strap connecting the neck element to the chest padding is to be pulled over the head so that the neck and back elements rest on the dog’s back and the chest padding is flat against the chest. Finally, the two rear buckles are to be attached to the back element.
In case the dog does not like it when the harness being pulled over its head, the former can be done with such a difference that one of the buckles belonging to the neck element is also opened before the application.
ADJUSTING THE JK9®MANTRAILING HARNESS
Due to its structure, the JK9®Mantrailing harness can be fully customizable. Adjust the straps leading to the neck element so that the upper edge of the chest padding is at the tibia and the padding is flat against the chest. At the distance between the neck and the back element, make sure that the hoop is not behind the line of the two hind legs of the dog. Slide the back element so far back that the back straps of the chest pad do not obstruct the front legs. The straps should be tight enough to allow your palm to fit under the back part, but don’t let it get too loose, as this may cause the harness to move sideways while working.
In a standing position, the harness may seem too loose — the adjustable bridge element, neck element, and back element may slip a little — but this will resolve itself as soon as the dog starts moving and pulls forward. All the straps and elements will then be in place.
For proper use of the harness and comfort of the dog, proper sizing and accurate adjustment are highly important.
The JK9®Mantrailing harness is not suitable for casual wear, hiking or dog running. It has been developed specifically for search work, where the dog always moves on a tight leash in front of its owner. For walks in urban areas we recommend the IDC®Powerharness, and for longer excursions the IDC®Longwalk harness.
California Proposition 65 for California consumers
Proposition 65, officially the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a law that requires warnings be provided to California consumers when they might be exposed to chemicals identified by California as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. The warnings are intended to help California consumers make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals from the products they use. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program and publishes the listed chemicals, which includes more than 850 chemicals. In August 2016, OEHHA adopted new regulations, effective on August 30, 2018, which change the information required in Proposition 65 warnings.
