With the dog's waist clamped between your knees, hold up the harness by the sides of the padded, diamond-shaped neck opening, with the padded breast plate away from you.
|
Then fold the top and bottom of the breast plate together,
|
hold the sides and neck opening apart in each hand, and then drop them over the dog's nose...
|
...over his head, down past his neck (work it over his collar) and onto his shoulders.
|
Now reach down through the side of the harness, grab the dog's left wrist,
|
and pull his leg up and forward through the harness.
|
Repeat the process on the right side.
|
Now pull the tug loop back towards the dog's tail and check that the "X" is over the middle of his back and nothing is twisted.
|
To lead him to the sled (instead of the other way around or other exciting variables), hoist the dog's front paws off the ground, taking him out of 4WD.
