Aqua Basic, Extreme, Power Basic, Force Extreme:
Take a measuring tape and place it around the middle of your dog's neck. You shouldn't place it too tight or too loose, ideally so that 1-2 fingers can fit underneath. You have to remember this measurement. Tip: The Power Basic collars are the only collars that you can shorten yourself using bolt cutters.

Aqua Fast Run & Splash
If you decide to buy a collar from this collection, you will need to take more than one measurement. Since this collar cannot be opened, it is important that you measure directly on your dog.
For this we need the following dimensions
A – the widest part of the head – please measure tightly! (So that the collar can be easily put on and taken off)
B – behind the ears – the narrowest part – please measure closely! You don’t want the collar to slip off your head on the train.
C – middle of the neck – this is where your collar should sit loosely. About 1-2 fingers should fit underneath.

AQUA Y TABLEWARE
What follows is a little text, we will keep it as short as possible.
A well-fitting Y-harness is not only important for the safety but also for the well-being of your dog. A properly fitted harness allows your dog to move freely and prevents discomfort. Here is a guide to help you find the perfect harness for your dog.
The problem with most incorrectly fitting harnesses is either incorrect measurements or insufficient adjustability. We only make harnesses individually so that your furry friend has a well-fitting harness that does not restrict their movement. Harnesses that block movement can have long-term health consequences.
It is important to follow the following instructions exactly. If you have any questions or are unsure, you can write to us at any time. We will be happy to help and advise you. You can also send us pictures, either via Instagram or, even better, by email to info@nature-bark.de .
IMPORTANT: The Aqua Extreme CLASSIC harness is not adjustable except for the waist belt.
STEP BY STEP
1. The abdominal belt (circumference)
The belly strap is one of the most important parts of the harness. Our NatureBark Y-harness gives your dog the shoulder space he needs to be able to move well and freely. Therefore, the harness should not be too close to the shoulder.
🚨 MEASURING TIP: The belly strap should not slip onto the loose ribs or press into your dog's soft tissue. It should be far enough behind the front leg so that your dog has enough freedom of movement. A Chihuahua needs about two fingers' distance, a large dog like a Ridgeback about a hand's width. Ideally, the belly strap sits loosely on the third to fourth rib.
2. The back length
The back length is easy to measure. Measure from the shoulder blade to the belly strap. Use the third to fourth ribs as a guide.
🚨 MEASURING TIP: If the ribs are difficult to feel, measure the entire length of the back from the shoulder blade to the base of the tail and take a third of this length.
3. The chest strap
Measure the chest strap from the breastbone to the point where the abdominal strap should be. Again, use the third to fourth rib as a guide.
🚨 MEASURING TIP: The sternum is easy to feel and often visible. It is located in the middle of the chest and feels like a small lump.
4. Shoulder strap length (length, not circumference)
Measure from the breastbone to the point between the shoulder blades. The strap should be over the shoulder blade and should not restrict your dog's movement.
🚨 MEASURING TIP: Make sure that the strap does not restrict the freedom of movement of the shoulders.
