Dogs
Bring the dog. We will fit it properly, watch it walk, and change the size if the walk says something different from the tape measure.
What we stock
The shoulder-clearing shape. Our default recommendation for almost every dog.
Flat and martingale, in widths matched to neck size rather than to fashion.
Fixed-length, double-ended and long lines for training in the park.
Athens traffic in December justifies the extra few euro.
Buying guide
You should fit two fingers flat under any strap. Tighter rubs; looser lets a panicking dog reverse straight out of it.
A harness strap that crosses the point of the shoulder restricts the stride. If your dog’s gait shortens the moment the harness goes on, the shape is wrong — not the size.
Retractable leads are the one product we will actively talk you out of. They teach constant tension and they are the cause of most of the leg injuries we hear about.
