Product questions

How do I measure my dog for the harness and collar?

Please refer to our size chart and ensure you follow guidance to get the most accurate measurements of your dog and yourself. If you’re unsure about which size to choose, feel free to reach out to us at hello@shopbigdogenergy.com.

If upon receiving your products they still don’t fit right, we offer exchanges for another style variant or size, or credit notes to spend on other products, in line with our Shipping and Returns Policy. Please refer to this Policy for further information.

What sizes are available for your products?

We offer a variety of sizes across our entire product range.

  • Harnesses range from XS to XL
  • Collars range from S to L
  • Apparel ranges from S to XL

Are your products suitable for dogs of all sizes?

Big Dog Energy is inclusive of all shapes and sizes. We cater for small dogs with big personalities, and dogs that are big in size! We are also very conscious of different body shapes and structures, but have ensured our harnesses are secure with both the chest and body strap, and our collars can be adjusted accordingly.

My dog pulls during walks. How can I prevent this behaviour?

To help prevent your dog from pulling on walks, we suggest using our Big Dog Energy Harness with the front D-ring attachment, with our leash.

The front D-ring attachment provides for better control over your pooch. Clip our Big Dog Energy leash to the front and discourage pulling by applying gentle pressure when your dog tries to pull ahead. 

We also suggest lots of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement - training takes time!


If pulling persists, it may be helpful to consult with a professional dog trainer for additional guidance.
