A dog harness has a collar having a front ring and rings at each of its free ends. A releasable buckle functions to releasably couple the collar free ends. A cord passes through the rings and forms a pair of loops for disposition in the foreleg pits of a dog. A ring and fastener at the cord free ends releasably couples these ends with the ring and is also adapted to be coupled with a leash. A strain on the leash and harness caused by the dog will exert pressure to the foreleg pits which will result in the dog reacting to decrease this pressure.
