Today in the life of Zeus, he’s wearing his first pack harness and “re” learning how to tuck. The pack harness is useful to hold things like medication, snacks (my favorite flavor is carbs so I’m all about the on the go snack), water bottles, or keys. Anything you can think of to make a Handler’s life a little easier.
The purpose of a dog is to promote independence and accessibility to the Handler. A dog with the ability to comfortably have a saddle pack allows greater freedom for the Handler and can make a happier team overall.
Zeus will have a variety of harnesses depending on specific needs. He also needs to gain a few pounds. We are waiting for his weight to stabilize and for his custom gear to arrive. Gear is custom made to suit the Handler’s needs, the K9’s body, and any specific tasking needs. In the meantime we have various harnesses to use along the way to train in what we need.
A big AROOOO for Zeus today!
