The Ruffwear Front Range is a padded everyday dog harness with two leash points: a V-ring on the back and a reinforced loop on the chest for front-clip walking.
Who it suits
Dogs of almost any size, from toy breeds to giants, and owners who want one harness for relaxed walks and for dogs that pull. Owners who prefer a very light, minimal harness may find it bulky.
