With the harness unbuckled, place the shoulder straps over your dog’s head.

Adjust the shoulder straps so that the O-ring sits on or above your dog’s chest bone.
Adjust the Girth Strap
![adjust-girth-strap-petsafe-sure-fit-harness-illustration1](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/d075r9p6/production/7b44ce47522aded9581f7317cffb5c43ca3b7144-650x650.png?w=650&h=650&q=75&fit=max&auto=format)
Bring the girth strap between your dog’s front legs.
![adjust-girth-strap-petsafe-sure-fit-harness-illustration2](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/d075r9p6/production/71511a6eee75dc4fa5c45633ea84eaeb97fe9a2b-650x650.png?w=650&h=650&q=75&fit=max&auto=format)
Attach the girth straps to the buckles on your dog’s back. Adjust for a snug fit.
![adjust-girth-strap-petsafe-sure-fit-harness-illustration3](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/d075r9p6/production/4e54599f46e4856423ec6862329ac3838f87eeaf-650x650.png?w=650&h=650&q=75&fit=max&auto=format)
Adjust the strap under your dog’s chest to ensure it is not hanging loose.
![adjust-girth-strap-petsafe-sure-fit-harness-illustration4](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/d075r9p6/production/33840788c8e41a731b64af3843565391b08254b8-650x650.png?w=650&h=650&q=75&fit=max&auto=format)
When fit properly, two fingers should barely fit between the skin and nylon strap. This prevents the harness from moving and chafing your dog’s skin.
