Why it matters
The Flagline is minimalist and light so dogs move freely. A padded top handle and belly panel provide secure lift assist into cars, over rocks or up stairs. Three leash points, a V-ring on the back and reinforced loops at the chest and rear, support training, no-pull guidance or different walking styles. Ruffwear provides a sizing chart and fit video.
