Running harness fit for tall dog and short human
So I used to run with my dog Millie more last spring, but got out of the habit during the heat of the summer and have only been on a few runs here and there since. I did get gifted the traction attachment for the muse harness that I already have, and have tried it a few times. Millie always seems more reluctant to pull using the attachment compared to just the straight harness, so tonight I tried figuring out why and realized it's because the straps that go over her back leg/hip area slide down and press weirdly (Image 1). This also causes it to bow out on the sides a bit, although it's hard to see in that image.
Based on the images I see on the website for this product, the more ideal angle for the traction attachment is like what you see in image 2 where it's above (or at least even) with the top of the dog's spine.
Unfortunately I am short and she is tall (image 3), so there really isn't enough of a height difference to pull the leash attachment point to a more optimal position with how it's currently fitted. When she's at full leash tension it would probably be okay, but it's hard to get her to do that since it fits weirdly at low/no tension. Is there a way I can adjust the fit to make it more comfortable for her, or is this just a case of biology making the product not suitable?
(I do know the last vertical strap of the harness is supposed to go on the outside of the traction attachment, but it was making the pictures harder to understand. It didn't really change how it was fitting though)
((Ignore the weird image quality and lighting, I don't know what my phone was doing and don't feel like taking the pictures again lol))
