One of OneTigris' milestones is the release of the BEAST MOJO, a tactical harness for small and medium sized dogs. We know that service dogs are not always golden retrivers and labs, that there are also smaller canine companions to provide mental support for their handlers, so the release of the BEAST MOJO was not only welcomed by our friends and users, it was a mission we'd been wanting to complete for a long time. Here's a excerpt from the review by MCS Dog Training based in York, Pennsylvania, on how the harness functions:
"When we got Duffy, the Patterdale Terrier, and decided that we were going to use him as a Therapy Dog, I didn’t think I would be able to find a cool vest for him because of his small size. I was excited when I went looking and realized that Onetigris had come out with the Beast Mojo Tactical Dog Harness for small and medium dogs.
"The two primary reasons for your dog wearing a vest/harness are for identification and load bearing. In Odin’s and Duffy’s case as working dogs, it is primarily for identification. It helps for people to easily identify if they are a pet or a working dog. Load bearing is accomplished by attaching MOLLE or Velcro backed pouches to hold various items like poop bags, water, treats, and first aid gear. There is a third use and it is here that we need to explain the deviation between what people commonly think of when you say dog harness and what a tactical type dog harness is. Professionally, we don’t encourage the use of regular dog harnesses because they only give dogs more power to pull. However, military type dog harnesses have either front or rear attachment points and sometimes both. They are used not so much to control dogs as they are used on trained dogs for tracking work.
"Typically, military/police style harnesses and vests have one or more grab handles on the back of the vest. Originally meant for close quarters control fo the working dog, they have now been heavily adopted for use with service dogs to aid in mobility work. The Mojo has one on the back so you can carry your dog like a suitcase. You can see Duffy is very relaxed, comfortable, and supported. This is great for a service dog since it allows him to be easily put on the laps of people in wheelchairs and beds."
*Editor's note: We advise against using any harness to lift your dog up in the air as they are not designed to bear weight and could cause discomfort for the dog.
"The Velcro panels are great for identification or morale patches. My favorite feature of the Mojo that was not on Odin’s vest was the addition of webbing keepers. Odin was so small at the time that I had to cut off some of the webbing after adjustment. With the Mojo, that is a non issue because of the webbing keepers at the end of the webbing. These allow you to roll up and secure the excess webbing.
"After some “field” use, I will do an update. But, I already know from experience the only thing that is going to happen is the harness will get dirty. Onetigris gear is made for hard use. If you are looking for a vest/harness for your dog and hate replacing junk, check out Onetigris. They have a harness to suit your needs."

My little girl Par Pars was the tester for the Beast Mojo Harness, and all I can say is it's so freaking awesome!! It's really hard to find a neat harness for Par Pars because she is 11lbs of muscle with a big chest, tiny waist and a long body for a small doggie. The Beast Mojo Harness fits her perfectly, tho it is pulled as small as it can go for her but it fits perfect ( in case she decides to gain a little weight she has wiggle room LOL) The harness itself is amazing quality and very durable, I love the handle on the back. When hiking and may need a little help going up steep rocks I just grab the handle and boost her up. My 13 year old baby girl also turns a lot of heads wearing the harness, it's so awesome looking how could you not look! I will definitely be getting more products! Thank you OneTigris!
