service dog harness

Working canine gear

A service dog harness is specialized equipment worn by a dog trained to assist a person with a disability.

The harness typically includes a rigid handle for guiding blind handlers, attachment points for leashes, and often patches or labels identifying the dog as a working animal: Her service dog harness says "Do Not Pet".

The design varies by the dog's task—guide dogs need sturdy handles, while dogs for mobility support may have different configurations.
