Nome Harness

Seleverkstedet's Nome harness is an ergonomic pulling harness with extra adjustability around the neck. By ergonomics, we mean that it is especially suitable for the work the dog will be doing - i.e. pulling. It has a rear cobble attachment with a replaceable and adjustable sliding end, which ensures that the harness is stable on the dog. Seleverkstedet Nome harness has the well-known balance and stability that Seleverkstedet has always been known for, and it is made of solid materials and with stitching that will last.

A pulling harness is a dog harness with a pulling attachment relatively far back on the back. Suitable for skijoring, cycling with the dog in front of the bike, mushing and running with a joringline and belt. The most important and unique feature of a pulling harness is to give the dog free airways and free movement when pulling weight.  The harness neck opening should allow free shoulder movement and not prevent the dog from moving its front leg forward. To adjust the neck opening, tighten the top strap on the harness neck.

What types of breeds does the Nome harness fit?

Nome harness is a pure pulling harness that fits the rectangular and slim dog. Rectangular breeds and types include include setters, German shepherds, huskies, and other types and breeds like these.

The five sizes (XS - S - M - L - XL) range from a 16 kg setter female to a 35 kg German Shepherd. If you have a dog that falls outside this category, our Trekreg adjustable pulling harness is the best option.

Putting a Nome harness on your dog 

When the harness is on, pull the fur/loose skin around the neck well forward under the harness neck opening and stretch the harness while keeping the dog's head down in a horizontal line with its back. This is the dog's body position when pulling. The rear end of the harness without the rope loop should end approximately at the set of tail (where the tail exits the body).
