Is the Explorer Harness really no-pull? How does it work?

Explorer vs. Comfort Harness FAQs
What’s the difference between the Explorer Harness and the Comfort Harness?
At Pookie Pets, both of our harness styles are designed with veterinary expertise, but each serves slightly different needs:
Explorer Harness: Built for larger dogs, strong pullers, or active breeds, featuring both front and back D-rings, a training handle, and a longer chest plate for ergonomic support. It's a step-in style, so there's no need to pull gear over your dog's head — ideal for dogs that dislike overhead harnessing.
Comfort Harness: Designed for small breeds, puppies, and everyday adventures, this harness is neoprene padded and mesh-lined for maximum comfort. It's lightweight, quick-drying, and adjustable — making it perfect for dogs with sensitive skin or growing bodies.
Which harness is best for large or strong dogs?
The Explorer Harness is the best choice for large breeds, strong pullers, and energetic dogs who need extra control. The front and back leash attachments, along with the training handle, provide better guidance without choking or restricting your dog's movement.
Which harness is best for small dogs or puppies?
The Comfort Harness is perfect for small breeds, toy breeds, and growing puppies. Its lightweight design and soft materials ensure your dog stays comfortable and unrestricted, even during long walks or training sessions.
Which harness is best for senior dogs or dogs with joint issues?
The Comfort Harness is a great choice for senior dogs or those with arthritis, neck sensitivities, or joint concerns. Its soft, padded structure helps avoid pressure points and supports easier, more natural movement.
Why does Pookie Pets not recommend single-strap front clip harnesses?
At Pookie Pets — and supported by veterinary experts — we do not endorse harnesses that use only a single strap across the chest.
Here’s why:
They restrict your dog’s natural gait and shoulder movement, which can cause long-term musculoskeletal issues.
They put unnecessary pressure on the trachea and throat, increasing the risk of injury or breathing difficulties, especially for strong pullers or brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds.
They distribute force unevenly, leading to stress on delicate joints and muscles.
We believe every harness should support natural movement, protect sensitive areas, and keep dogs comfortable and healthy, not just control behavior.
What if my dog doesn’t like harnesses going over their head?
Our Explorer Harness is the perfect solution!
It features a 3-buckle design meaning the harness simply wraps around your dog, — no awkward pulling over their head. This is ideal for anxious dogs or pups who dislike traditional harnesses.
Are both harness styles adjustable?
Yes! Both the Explorer and Comfort harnesses are fully adjustable at multiple points to create a secure, customized fit for your dog’s unique body shape.
How do I know which harness is right for my dog?
Consider your dog’s:
Size (small breed, large breed)
Temperament (strong puller, calm walker)
Body type (broad-chested, long-bodied, sensitive skin)
Activity level (casual walks vs. high-energy adventures)
Still unsure? Email us at info@shoppookiepets.com.au and our friendly team will be happy to recommend the best fit for your pup!
