mend a dog backpack as a training tool as it gives your dog a 'job' so can focus their attention, reduce hyperactivity and generate 4-legged motivation.
Essential features include
- Underlying the panniers is the secure Web Master Harness which holds the pack steady & comfortably
- Strong D ring on the back for you to attach your dog's lead
- Back lift handle so you can assist your dog over obstacles and in/out of the car
- Waterproof zips, high viz reflective trim & external gear loops

This pack was designed to be an everyday pack with excellent performance, fit and functionality.
It's recommended that your dog carry no more than 25 - 30% of their body weight in their dog pack. If your dog is new to dog packs, start with a light load and work up to a heavier load as your dog gets accustomed to wearing the pack.

The Approach Pack should have a streamlined, performance fit
To determine the best size for your dog, measure around the widest part of your dog's chest/rib cage then compare it to the table below - similar to how you would do your own chest measure.
It is important not to use saddlebag capacity as your only sizing consideration. Consider your dog's fitness level, age, joint health and frame when filling the rucksack.
The Approach Pack should fit comfortably yet snugly to ensure it remains stable on your dog's back.
If your dog's measure is an ‘in-between size' choose the smaller pack for less bulk.
When you fill the panniers, make sure you balance the load equally on each side to stop the bag from shifting.
The Approach pack incorporates some great trail-savvy features including:
- Waterproof zippers & high-visibility reflective trim
- External gear loops and durable construction
- Attached saddlebags are lightweight & streamlined in shape
- Weight-forward saddlebag design is ideal for load-carrying
- A generous ergonomic cut ensure full range of motion
- Underlying padded & comfortable Web Master Harness with five adjustment points to accommodate dogs of all shapes & sizes
- Back lift handle and lead attachment point
Here's what people are saying...
Great pack that should last a very long time. It is excellent for calming excitable & energetic dogs down while walking. The Dog Whisperer knows his stuff!
This Harness/Pack is great, very easy to put on and comfortable for the dog. Just make sure that you get the front part right over the shoulders so the pack doesn't lean right or left making it uncomfortable for the dog. It has two places to clip the leash, the one at the front is great if your dog is walking right by you, but if he starts to pull away or continues to want to go faster use the back clip. This clip gives you more leverage to stop the dog with out hurting him/her. The two side bags are great for water, food we also put a shammy towel in to wet down and put over the dog to help keep him cool.
I got this for my greyhound and he loves it, I think it reminds him of the racing silks. The medium fits him like a glove and is very adjustable. We haven't made any trips with it yet but it seems to be very well made and is well padded so hopefully it won't make any hot spots. His tail started wagging as soon as he got it on, I can't wait to take a trip and see how it does on the trail.
