How to Choose a Dog Harness for Extra Large Breeds?

Extra-large dog breeds that weigh more than 100 pounds can include Great Danes, Mastiffs, Dobermans, Newfies, and Saint Bernards. They require special equipment like a Bolux dog harness to control their massive size and weight.

The right harness type removes any pressure or pulling applied to the neck when you try to control them with a leash. As a bonus, many dog owners find that these harnesses are more comfortable for their large breeds than walking on a collar and leash.

Choosing a Dog Harness for Extra Large Breeds

Size
It should be available in your dog's particular size (weight not included). Measure the widest part of your dog's chest while standing up to get an accurate sizing. You can also measure your dog's girth or width at this time by wrapping cloth or measuring tape around it and adding two inches to get its size.

Fit
The harness must be snug but not too tight as this will cause chaffing and discomfort on your dog's skin. The chest strap of your dog's new harness should fit just below its front legs, under the armpits (not too high, or it will cause them pain when they try to pull). The back strap should fit in the middle of your dog's back.

Comfort
If you can fit more than one finger under any part of the harness, it is too loose and needs to be tightened. Also, look for soft cushioning on the inside of the harness to keep your dog from chafing.

Security
You will want a harness that is easy to put on and take off, but also one that won't come loose too easily. If your pet tends to pull, look for a Bolux dog harness with an integrated leash attachment point as well as quick-release buckles.

Design
There are several designs of dog harnesses. A front hook style is best for extra-large breeds so that their weight will be distributed to the chest, and they won't be able to back out of it. A rear clip design can work if you find one for larger breeds with a reinforced neck strap, but it does put their back legs at risk for injury.

Durability
Your new harness should be well-made of strong, durable materials that will last you through the life of your dog. Look for heavy-duty stitching and strong hardware to hold all the straps together. If there are quick-release buckles, they should have safety locks so they won't be accidentally released.

Extra Tips:

• Buy a harness with a top handle to make it easier for you to control your dog in crowded or dangerous areas.

• Allow your dog some time to get accustomed to wearing their new harness.

• Keep your dog on the leash at all times until they are trained not to pull, or you can train them with positive reinforcement by using their new harness.

Walking your extra-large breed dog can be difficult if they are unruly and try to pull you along on their leash. A harness is the best way to control their size and weight, as well as protect yourself from harm.

The right harness will distribute pressure over their body instead of just around their neck, making it easier for you to control them.

Love To Shop Trendy Dresses

                             


Every woman loves to shop especially when it comes to trendy dresses. I myself love to window shop in-store or online and I think it's natural and every girl in every country.  When I have this free time, I always filled my cart with beautiful floral dresses chiffon I love any kind of florals, so girly and sweet and it always gives me summery vibes.

Buying dresses is not only when having an occasion, but you can also give yourself a reward and buy dresses you love. In my opinion, casual and comfortable dresses and always in trend. That is why it's very important to buy and trust a store that offers different sizes for different body types.

Finding Your Dream Home: What To Look For (And What To Avoid)

Buying a house is a difficult decision to make. It takes a lot of money. But your emotions are wrapped up in the purchase too. Which can lead to some difficulties. Especially when we stumble across what we think is our dream home. We have a tendency to look past evidence that might point to underlying problems. And that can lead to more than just a headache down the line.

When looking around your prospective new home, you’ll need to get the microscope out. No matter how much you love it. There are lots of major issues to look out for. But some fly under the radar too.

Here you’ll find 6 good things to look out for when purchasing a property. And 6 things that you’ll want to steer clear of.

The Good
Inspecting property isn’t all about looking out for the bad. It’s also about looking out for positives that should make you look on a property more favorably.

  • Room Size
Good room size is always something you’ll want to look out for. Measure your furniture before you go and take the tape measure with you to the viewings. That way, you’ll know if your life fits in before you commit to buying.
  • Neighborhood
Location is everything when buying a home. Everyone talks about watching out for ‘bad’ neighborhoods, but you want to look out for good too. If it has excellent transport links and good schools, it should go up in your estimation.
  • Potential
Making sure you fit in a home at the moment is important. So is seeing if that property has the potential to extend along with your life. It’s much easier to extend a current home than get back out onto the property market.
  • Garden
Having green space is hard to find. Anywhere with room to roam outside is definitely a winner. Not only does it tack onto having the potential to extend, but it’s also good for the mind and soul just to have outdoor space to call your own.
  • Security
Assess how secure the property you’re viewing is. If there’s a security system already installed, then you’re onto the winner. Intruder alarms, security lights, and fire alarms should all be top of the list.
  • Efficiency
Looking after the planet is on the top of everyone’s list. So a house that runs efficiently is a positive in anyone’s book.


The Bad
There are always things that we need to keep an eye out for when viewing a property. And that’s because they could signal underlying problems that you won’t want to deal with in a year.
  • Fixer-Uppers
Everyone loves a good project. But committing to something that will last years might not be exactly what you signed up for. It’s easy to underestimate the costs of renovating. If you’re going for a fixer-upper, make sure to ask enough questions, so you know you’re able to commit. If not, steer clear.
  • Flood Plains
If your potential home is on a flood plain, make sure you know what you’re getting into. It can lead to you having a flooded home if there’s nothing already in place to avoid such an event. Talk to your realtor so you can assess the risk. If you’re unsure of anything, then don’t buy.
  • Damp
Damp is a big red flag. Thankfully, there are lots of ways to recognize if a home has damp. Look for mildew, peeling wallpaper, blistering paint, discoloration, and mould. Some owners are happy to take it on if they understand the risks. But don’t feel forced into handling it if you’re not prepared.
  • Condensation
Condensation on windows can be an indicator of poor insulation. And poor insulation can be costly to fix. Take a minute to check the double glazing and condition of the windows. This will help you figure out what sort of price insulating the home will be.
  • Structural
Structural problems will cost you a fortune. Look out for big cracks and weak joints. But if you’re unsure, hire a surveyor before you commit to a purchase. You may not like the sound of an outlay cost for a surveyor, but it costs less than a complete structural refit.
  • Questions
The biggest thing to avoid when purchasing property is not asking enough questions. Go in with a list of everything you want to know. And even some things you think are pointless. No question is too much.

The Wrap Up
Finding your dream home doesn’t have to be a headache. If you go well prepared and understand what to look out for, you’re halfway there. Searching for a home that fits is the biggest part of the job. So once you have that down, you’re on the home straight.
Making purchasing property a breeze is all about preparation. So don’t stop being prepared once you’ve found the house. Continue the trend by getting a mortgage quote ahead of time, getting friendly with a financial advisor, and getting your credit in check. Everything helps on the road to owning property.
