Green Harness

The Haqihana H-Harness is handmade in Italy by specialised artisans — one at a time, with every component produced in Europe. It has been in production since 2003, and in that time it has become one of the most widely recommended harnesses among canine behaviour professionals, veterinarians, and force-free trainers worldwide.

The H-shaped design distributes pressure exclusively across the sternum and chest — never the neck, throat, or shoulders. When your dog pulls, the force travels along the skeleton rather than compressing soft tissue. Nothing rubs, nothing restricts, nothing presses on the trachea. The result is a harness that allows full freedom of movement for the shoulder and scapula while keeping the dog comfortable and secure.

Five-point adjustable fit — two buckles for quick on/off, and five adjustment points that allow the harness to be fine-tuned to your dog's exact proportions. All parts are assembled with safety stitching, and every component that contacts the skin is finished with a special edge stitch to prevent rubbing — especially important for short-haired breeds. Plastic components (buckles and adjusters) are made from acetal resin — rounded, free from sharp edges, and engineered to maintain mechanical and shock resistance even in extreme conditions.

The webbing is high-tenacity spun-dyed nylon-6, woven in Italy to Haqihana's own design. Nylon-6 is valued for its softness, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, abrasion resistance, and chemical and biological stability. It is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and fully recyclable. The spun-dyed process locks colour into the fibre during production rather than applying it afterwards, which means the colour does not fade, bleed, or wash out over time.

Metal hardware — D-rings and connection points — is AISI 304 stainless steel, which does not release nickel or cause allergic reactions, in compliance with European regulations. Buckles and adjusters are acetal resin, moulded in Italy.

Measure around your dog's chest girth at the widest point, approximately four fingers behind the front legs. If your dog falls between two sizes, Haqihana generally recommends sizing up — this accounts for potential weight changes and the natural shrinkage of webbing (approximately 2–3%) after the first wash or two.

Long versions (XXSL, XSL, SL, ML) are also available — these have longer back and sternum straps designed for deep-chested or long-bodied breeds such as Greyhounds, Whippets, Dachshunds, and Corgis. The Long version shifts the chest strap rearward by approximately 5 cm, ensuring adequate clearance from the armpits and scapula. If you're unsure whether your dog needs a Standard or Long version, feel free to contact us for guidance.

Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle — place the harness in a delicates bag. Use a mild detergent and cold or lukewarm water. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry. Expect approximately 2–3% shrinkage after the first one to two washes.

Haqihana guarantees every harness for five years from the date of purchase against defects, breakages, or issues that are not the result of normal wear and tear — provided the harness has been used correctly. The guarantee does not cover damage from chewing or failure to follow care instructions.

Haqihana is an Italian company based in Fenegrò, Como, producing harnesses and leashes by hand since 2003. Every component is sourced and manufactured in Europe — webbing woven in Italy, hardware moulded in Italy, and final assembly by specialised artisans in their own workshop. The brand is widely used by canine behaviour professionals and force-free trainers, and is recommended by veterinarians for its anatomically considered design.
