I miss my Terv
I just want to say this is honestly one of the best videos about dog harnesses I’ve found on YouTube. Finally, someone who focuses on the dog’s comfort and real anatomy instead of fashion, brands, or what looks nice to humans.
The way you explained how a harness affects the dog’s bone structure, shoulders, and elbows made everything so much clearer for me. I’ve been trying to choose the right harness for my puppy, and thanks to your video I feel like I can finally make a good decision without risking discomfort or long-term issues.
I really appreciate the knowledge and care you put into this. It’s rare to find content that truly puts the dog first like this.
Thank you so much for creating this — I’m definitely looking forward to your next videos 🤍
I have to say this video really stood out for me. I’ve watched so many videos about harnesses and most of them focus on looks or brands, but here I finally felt like someone is actually thinking about the dog first.
The way you explained how the harness affects the body, the shoulders, elbows and overall movement made so much sense. It helped me understand things I didn’t even know I should be paying attention to.
I have a young puppy and thanks to your video I feel much more confident choosing something that will be comfortable for her and safe in the long term, not just something that looks nice.
So thank you, really. From me and from Naria as well for all the advice you shared here. It means more than you probably realize.
I’ll definitely be coming back to your channel 🤍
This is the best video for choosing a harness because it discusses the design and impact of such to your dog. Thank you so much for making this video
All dog owners should know that harnesses are the stupidest thing you could put on a dog as you will have no control over your dog like a proper collar will. Don’t fall for it unless you’re pulling a sled. That’s what they’re designed for. It’s your dog, just don’t be stupid!!!
