SIWASH CART HARNESS

This harness, developed by Consie and Roger Powell, is for use primarily with a wagon, cart or travois, but can also be used with a sled or toboggan. This harness features the same neck design as our sledding harnesses to allow the dog free movement. The extremely adjustable forward cinch (girth) has loops for shafts. The rear cinch (girth)(use optional) helps hold the D-rings and side straps in place as well as keeping the harness in place when the cart pushes up against it.  Both cinches (girths) fasten with Delrin side release snaps. Adjustable traces are included.  Side release snaps on shaft loops to allow dog to be quickly disconnected from cart.

Standard sizes for siwash cart harness are in 1" increments from 18" to 32" (this corresponds to the neck size) .
Harnesses under 18" and over 32" are custom sizes and not returnable.

SIWASH CART HARNESS WILCZEK STYLE

This variation of our tried and true Siwash Cart Harness was developed in conjunction with Bill and Barbie Wilczek of Wilczek Woodworks (www.wilczekwoodworks.com). Bill and Barbie did much of the testing on the design changes themselves and arranged to have additional people give this modified style further testing. The changes in this harness are shown in the photos. The forward cinch (girth) is attached to 2 side release snaps sewn into place about 2-1/2" from the top of the neck. The snaps have neoprene padding under them and the neck padding is extended to where the webbing is sewn. This change allows the girth to completely drop off when the snaps are released while still allowing a snug fit of the shaft loops. This arrangement also helps greatly when using the dogs as a team with a single center shaft. The girth resists slipping sideways with the weight just on one side of the dog. The second change allows the d-ring to be adjusted in two directions˜raising the d-ring up the flank or moving towards the head or tail of the dog. This allows you to "fine-tune" the fit of the harness. This harness will come with a Wilczek label and is available in the same sizes and colors as the regular Siwash.

Standard sizes for this harness are in 1" increments from 18" to 32" (this corresponds to the neck size) .

ADJUSTABLE TRACKING/WALKING HARNESS

This tracking and road work harness is adjustable within the following range of sizes. Harness neck should be adjusted so the shoulder pad fits firmly at the base of the dog's neck while the padded D-ring is on the dog's breastbone. The cinch may be adjusted forward or back by sliding through the bottom center strap. Once adjusted, the harness will stay in this position until changed. Delrin side release snaps on both sides of the cinch make it slip on easily. Neoprene padding under the d-rings, side release snaps, and adjustment buckles on the shoulders to protect the dog

Freight/Weight Pull or Wheel Dog Harness

This traditional singletree harness is used for weight pulling, sledding, and heavy-duty hauling. Frequently, it is used in wheel position (near the sled) because the low-draft hitch is more level with the gangline.

This harness comes with a hardwood spreader kit. The spreader bar should be slightly wider than the rear of the dog.   You may cut the bar if needed. The spreader bar should be touching the rear of the dog when the harness is in a relaxed position. Put the screws provided through the fabric and into the pre-drilled spreader bar.

The height of the hitch is adjustable, so the load is always held in place for maximum pull. The hitch ring uses limited side slip to compensate for off-center loads, and the backstraps feature the same sliding "X" as the X-back harness. See options to add long distance padding or reflective strips.
