Red strap harness with padded chest panel and top handle for small dogs

GlideStrap Harness

$24.99
$24.99

The GlideStrap is a minimal, open-frame harness with a lightweight, strap-led build and very low body coverage. It's designed for small dogs that benefit from freedom of movement and reduced bulk, with a more stripped-back fit than padded or vest-style harnesses. Reflective stitching adds visibility, the strap design adjusts smoothly, and a D-ring gives a secure leash attachment. Available in sizes XS, S, and M, with a fit especially suited to leaner frames and longer body lines.

The GlideStrap comes in sizes XS, S, and M, built for leaner, longer-bodied small dogs. Always measure your dog before ordering, since chest and neck girth are the most reliable guide for this strap-style fit.

Size Chest Neck
XS 38–45 cm
(15–18 in)		 35–40 cm
(14–16 in)
S 42–52 cm
(17–20 in)		 40–48 cm
(16–19 in)
M 52–62 cm
(20–24 in)		 45–54 cm
(18–21 in)

To measure, wrap a soft tape around the widest part of the rib cage, just behind the front legs, for the chest girth, and around the base of the neck for the neck girth. For long or fluffy coats, measure under the coat. The harness should sit snug with two fingers fitting underneath comfortably.

Built for Long Bodies and Freedom of Movement

Long-bodied and lean small dogs move differently, and a bulky padded harness can get in their way. The GlideStrap takes a minimal, open-frame approach: a lightweight, strap-led design with low body coverage that lets your dog move freely along its full length. It suits the longer body lines of Dachshunds and the lean frames of Italian Greyhounds particularly well, where a stripped-back fit feels more natural than a heavy vest. The smooth-adjusting straps dial in a clean fit, and reflective stitching keeps your dog visible. It's the lightest, most movement-oriented harness in our range. If your dog has a long or lean build and does better with less coverage, the GlideStrap gives freedom without bulk.

F.A.Q

Its minimal, open-frame design follows the body without heavy coverage, which suits the longer lines of breeds like Dachshunds. The strap-led build stays out of the way along the back and lets your dog move freely, rather than wrapping the whole torso in padding like a vest-style harness.

The GlideStrap's light, strap-led design allows smooth, even movement, which helps reduce pulling on relaxed walks. For dogs that pull hard and consistently, a dedicated front-clip design like the CoreControl gives more direct control.

Yes, the smooth-adjusting straps let you dial in a snug, secure fit. While the GlideStrap covers less than a vest, a properly adjusted strap fit holds securely. Tighten until two fingers fit underneath each strap, and check that nothing twists, for a clean, dependable fit on a lean or long body.

The GlideStrap comes in sizes XS, S, and M, fitting a chest girth from 38 to 62 cm (15 to 24 in) and a neck girth from 35 to 54 cm (14 to 21 in). Because this is a strap-style fit, measure both your dog's chest and neck and check the Fit and Sizing menu above to find the right size.

The GlideStrap is built for freedom of movement rather than warmth, so on colder days you may want to pair it with a coat underneath. It's best suited for everyday walks in mild weather or for dogs that run warm.

Rinse by hand in cool water with a mild soap and air dry. Avoid bleach, machine washing, and tumble drying to keep the straps and stitching in good condition over time.

Yes, the straps and D-ring are built to handle regular daily walks and normal activity. It's designed for light movement and freedom rather than heavy-duty pulling, so it suits active dogs that walk well on leash.
