harness definition and meaning

What is a "harness"?

A harness is a piece of equipment used to safely attach a leash to a pet, such as a dog or cat, during walks or outdoor activities. It is typically made of straps that fit around the animal's body, including the chest and back, and is designed to distribute pressure more evenly than a collar. Harnesses help control pets without putting strain on their neck, making them especially useful for pets that pull on the leash or have respiratory issues. They come in various sizes and designs to suit different animals and activities.

02

a supportive arrangement of straps or bands worn on the body to distribute weight or pressure evenly, provide stability for a body part or function, or secure an object in place
