[Maximo]

I brush my boys before putting on the harness. It is a bit of a trick putting the harness on and getting the hair in the right place so that it doesn't cause problems. My boys have full coats, including chest hair.

I have to make sure to pull their 'arm feathers' through the arm holes. I think this prevents bunching where the belt is on the back.

I lift the body with one hand wrapped under the chest, and I think this holds their chest hair in the right place while I lift the BB with the other hand. It works best when they are standing. If they sit down while putting it on, that seems to cause a bit of a problem.
