Front-Clip Harnesses for French Bulldogs

For the Frenchie who lunges: both of these clip the leash at his chest.

A front clip harness for a French Bulldog has a leash ring or loop on his chest, so a lunge swings his front end toward you, not straight ahead.

We have two: the Front-Clip No-Pull Harness, with a metal ring on a foam-padded panel, and the Quick-Dry Reflective Harness, with a strap loop on thin cloth.

A Reddit reply to a Frenchie owner put it plainly: “if it has a front loop for your leash to clip onto, use it.” Here is how to pick.

  • He leans into the leash: take either one, because both have a leash point on his chest, one a ring and one a loop.
  • He pulls hard enough that you feel it in your shoulder: take the Front-Clip, not the Quick-Dry, because foam sits behind its ring and the Quick-Dry is thin cloth.
  • The walks are wet, or you want a pocket for his ID tag: take the Quick-Dry Reflective, thin cloth over mesh that fits chests from 46 to 80 cm in M and L.
  • He already walks on a slack leash: skip the chest clip. The back ring does that job.
  • Neither is for every dog. The Front-Clip covers 4 to 17.5 kg, and the Quick-Dry does not close below a 46 cm chest.

Here is what a chest clip does not do. It turns him, and it does not teach him to stop pulling. A strong dog can keep going, so stop when the leash goes tight, and walk on when it goes slack.

Both of these go over his head. If he hates that, neither is for him: a step-in harness closes behind his shoulders and never touches his head. You will find them on the step-in harnesses page.

  • Chest or back. A chest ring swings a lunge toward you; a back ring lets it run straight.
  • Ring or loop. Front-Clip has a chest ring on foam; Quick-Dry a strap loop on thin cloth.
  • Over his head. Both go over his head. Front-Clip closes with a buckle on each side, Quick-Dry with one.
  • Turns, does not teach. A chest ring turns a lunge; teaching loose-leash walking is still your job.

Good to know about Frenchie front-clip harnesses

What is the best harness to help a French Bulldog stop pulling?

One with a leash point on his chest, because a lunge then swings his front end toward you. Here that is the Front-Clip Harness, a metal ring on a foam-padded panel, or the Quick-Dry Reflective, a strap loop on thin cloth. Neither teaches loose-leash walking. That part is training.

Do no-pull dog harnesses actually work?

Only a leash point on the chest changes what a lunge does: the leash swings his front end toward you. A ring on his back changes nothing. None of them trains him. When the leash goes tight, stop, and walk on when it goes slack.

What size harness should a 25 lb dog wear?

A 25 lb (11.3 kg) dog takes size M in the Front-Clip Harness, which covers 7.5 to 17.5 kg (16.5 to 38.6 lb). The Quick-Dry Reflective goes by chest instead: tape him just behind the front legs, and M closes around 46 to 61 cm.

What size harness does my Frenchie need?

The size whose range holds his number. The Front-Clip Harness goes by weight: S is 4 to 7.5 kg, M is 7.5 to 17.5 kg. The Quick-Dry Reflective goes by chest: M is 46 to 61 cm, L is 56 to 80 cm. If he lands between two sizes, take the larger.

What are signs a harness doesn’t fit right?

The chest panel slides to one side when you tug the leash, which means the straps are too loose. Three fingers under a strap says the same. A strap lying in his armpit is in the wrong place. Take the straps up, and check again on the third and tenth walk.

How do I size my dog for a harness?

By weight for the Front-Clip Harness, by chest for the Quick-Dry Reflective. For the chest, stand him on a floor he does not slip on and take a soft tape around the widest part of his rib cage, just behind the front legs. Keep it flat and snug, and add nothing for slack.
