Full details
The Julius K9 IDC Powerharness is designed for active dog owners who prioritize both comfort and control during daily walks or rugged outdoor adventures.

FAQs
Is this harness suitable for training sessions?
Yes, the handle and secure design make it ideal for training, especially for dogs that need extra guidance or control.
How do I measure my dog correctly?
Measure the chest circumference behind the front legs at the widest point of the ribcage to ensure it falls within the 26-33.5 inch range.
Can the harness be left on indoors?
While durable, it is generally recommended to remove the harness when the dog is indoors or unsupervised to prevent snagging.
Will the reflective parts fade over time?
Proper care, such as avoiding abrasive cleaners, will help maintain the reflective coating's effectiveness for a long time.
Does this harness restrict shoulder movement?
No, the IDC design is specifically cut to allow for free and natural movement of the front legs.
Troubleshooting
Harness rotates or slips to one side
The chest strap or belly strap is likely too loose; tighten the straps until the harness sits firmly against the dog's ribcage.
Dog is able to back out of the harness
Ensure the chest strap is properly adjusted so that the front piece sits comfortably against the chest bone without being too low or too high.
Velcro patches are peeling or dirty
Clean the hook and loop surfaces with a soft brush to remove hair and debris, and ensure the patches are pressed firmly into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the harness, slide the head loop over your dog's neck and fasten the belly strap around the chest. Adjust the chest strap using the hook and loop fasteners to ensure it is snug but not restrictive; you should be able to fit two fingers between the harness and your dog. For care, hand wash the harness with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the breathable lining and the reflective stitching. Check the straps periodically for wear, especially if used daily in harsh weather.
