  • 1.  Where do you keep/hang your dogs' front clip harnesses?

    Posted 02-01-2022 12:40 PM
    Hello,

    We are currently expanding our walking, enrichment, and exercise programs for our dogs, which will involve a lot more dogs having front clip harnesses designated for them.

    We are looking for ideas on where to store them that is easy for volunteers to access, but still relatively attractive to customers. We have both glass front and wire front kennels.

    Thanks in advance!

    We just have a small hook at each dog's run. As long as it doesn't become too much of a clutter-catcher, that works well. (Keeping the hook small helps! Bigger ones tend to end up with other items hanging there, which can get messy.) That way each volunteer can hang it up immediately after exiting, and there is less chance of the harnesses getting mixed up.

    Thanks Emme, is it just like a Command Hook or something different?

    Yes, we have some that are just plastic, stick-on hooks. We have others that are basic brass hooks that screw into the wall.
