Vet Designed Dog Harness 2025: Walk with Confidence Again ๐ถโจ
By Dr.โฏDuncanโฏHouston BVSc
Walking your dog should be enjoyableโnot stressful. But if youโve ever felt anxious before clipping on the leash, worried about pulling, reactivity, or losing control, youโre not alone. And itโs not your fault.
Iโm Dr. Duncan Houston, veterinarian and founder of Woopf. I created the Explorer Harness for people like youโowners who love their dogs but need better gear to enjoy the walk again. After years of treating dogs with harness injuries, behavioral issues, and owners with leash-related fatigue or fear, I designed something better.
๐ฃ Why So Many Owners Lose Confidence on Walks
- ย ๐ Reactive behavior (lunging, barking, freezing)
- ย ๐ฅ Sudden pulling that causes pain or injury
- ย ๐ Fear of your dog slipping out or running away
- โ Frustration with gear that doesn't fit or actually makes things worse
When you donโt feel secure, your dog feels it tooโand the cycle continues.
โ How the Explorer Harness Changes the Experience
