PRO Defender Harness

This high-performance dog harness is designed for professional use,
crafted from top-quality, durable materials to ensure maximum comfort and
security for working dogs. Featuring reinforced stitching, adjustable straps,
and a heavy-duty handle, it provides excellent control and support during
tactical operations as well as heavy training. The harness is lightweight yet
strong, offering both functionality and comfort for extended wear, while its
quick-release system ensures swift removal when needed. Ideal for K9
units and experienced users, this harness is built to withstand rigorous
training and real-world scenarios.

The PRO advantages provide enhanced security around the neck,
ensuring a stable and balanced fit that remains low on the K9’s neck during
high-intensity activities such as patrols, tracking, and bite work. This design
focuses on safety and performance, while maintaining the quality and
durability that the standard Defender harness is known for, ensuring it
continues to deliver reliable results.

The Defender PRO is designed with a two-buckle system,
eliminating the need to lift your dogs leg through a girth strap. This
innovative design keeps your dogs legs on the ground, making it quicker
and easier to put on or remove the harness as needed. The second buckle
also acts as a counterbalance, ensuring the harness stays centered and
evenly distributed for optimal comfort and stability.
